r/trans_canada

I’m currently living Saskatchewan but at the end of the summer I’m heading to Ontario for the U of T. I’ve been trying to wait for a closer date but I’ve been feeling so restless/irritated/impatient to get started already. I’ve wasted enough time crawling in my skin and every minute I spend waiting is one I won’t get back.

My issue is I don’t really know how to get started, nor do I know how complicated it would be to transfer anything I would need to Ontario to me. I have no clue about insurance or appointments and don’t really know who to talk to in order to get things rolling. I can’t ask for parental help like most other young adults can because I’m not out yet (but plan to come out within the next few months) and I don’t expect them to be fully supportive.

Is there anyone (doctor/hotline/idk) that I should be emailing to answer these questions? Where should I go for a starting point? Should I just wait until I move to avoid complications? Is there someone at the university that could help?

I’m really overwhelmed and all advice even if not directly answering my questions is very appreciated. I’m very stressed about figuring out how to start, but even more stressed staying this way and not making the changes I need

Top Surgery in Quebec?

Hello! I am a transman in Nova Scotia, and I’m going on a waiting list very soon for surgery. My doctor has proposed I go on the list for surgery in Quebec, instead of in-province, and has described all of the technical stuff involved in travel and post-surgery care etc. But while I have a super supportive doctor here, I know nothing at all about any potential surgeons or care in Quebec (and have also never been). Does anyone have any advice/concerns/good doctors etc?
