hey I'm new I'm parker and I'm kinda new to this and i actually had a question to any trans people out there: any suggestions on how to go about starting testosterone therapy? i have no clue how my parents would react to me asking them this but I've always know i was put in the wrong body. i used to cut my breasts constantly because i hate them and want them gone and i feel like I'm missing parts and wish i could replace them with things i don't want in/on my body. anyway i love my horses Katir and Sophia. They are my saviors. If Sophia didn't come around four or so years ago i would be long gone by my own hand. I was raped at 13 after trying to tell this "friend" i was trans and he ignored me for months and finally jumped me and yeah. But i was severely depressed and up until about ten months ago i was severely suicidal. but thats a lil bit of background of my life and stuff. So if anyone has any suggestions on how to go about doing testosterone therapy please please please let me know thanks.
Hey welcome to EC Definitely sounds like you've had a rough past *hugs* Right now you've posted in the welcome lounge. I think you'd probably get better results in regards to hormones if you started another thread in the gender identity subsection of the forum ^.^ Sorry, don't know much about hormones and such.
Hi. I relate to just about every thing you said, I've been there... all of them basically... you can read this http://emptyclosets.com/forum/general-support-advice/174306-phase-two-hugs-please-3-a.html if you want to. I don't know about HRT in the US... I suggest you make a thread under Gender Identity and Expression in the Support Area. Stay stron, we'll get there <3 hugs (*hug*) EDIT: I saw not that you already did do a thread... ^^ good!
Welcome to EC. How your parents will reacts depends... Some parents are very understanding, others... Not much. From what I've heard the process over there starts with you making an appointment with a gender therapist. You'll have a few sessions, and a lot of questions to answer. Then later you'll get a letter from the therapist, go to your doctor with it and (if all goes well) you'll start with the first checks to determine how much T will do the best job for your body. There is tons of good info at Gender Identity and Expression, feel free to ask whatever you want there, folks are going through the same. Also feel free to hit me if you need anything. Enjoy
Hi and welcome to EC, I hope you like it here and you find the community kind, helpful and supportive. (*hug*)
