Does anyone know if there's a place/website to get prescribed HRT, therefore disregarding wait times?
I'm 16 right now and with the wait times around me, I'd get HRT around 20.
Hey everyone, I'm 16 years old, I recently talked to my mom about hormones and she's guessing I would get hormones around 20 years old.
My cousin has been on a waiting list for hormones (T), for over 2 years now. Which is why my mother guessed 20 for me.
I just want to know if this is accurate or not because this is genuinely heartbreaking.
It would be a whole lotta help if you're located in Canada, more specifically Ontario and have information on the topic.
I seriously came out to my mom today. I texted her while I was at school and she replied something along the lines of "I'm not mad at all, you know I accept you for who you are. But I would like to talk to you and I after school so I can understand it better".
At the time of writing this, we just had that talk and it was so good. I can't believe I was worried for so long about it.
She asked if I had a name chosen and I said no because she said it in that tone when someone is expecting a bad answer and are ready to judge. Which really sucked because I've been going by Allie for a while now. My dead name starts with a G, she then thought about Gianna for a name.
My mom calls me G or uses Giovanni as nicknames. (MY DEAD NAME IS NOTHING CLOSE TO GIOVANNI, ITS JUST A JOKE). And going by a G name as my new name now makes more sense. But I'm still unsure about it.
In the middle of writing this, my mom asked if she should tell my brothers and I said yes. I also blurted out that I went by Allie for a while with a friend, but she was like "Ughhh, Allie??" So I guess that's a no go.
I know this should feel like a celebration and I guess it is but it doesn't feel like it. Nothing's been "lifted" off my shoulders.
EDIT: We talked about hormones a little bit and her estimation for when I get them is around 20-22. My cousin has been on the waiting for over 2 years now and that clinic is extremely full.
