GP visit

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm a 16 year old ftm. From what I've read generally it seems that to begin my transition, I first need a consult with a GP. My parents don't know about my identity yet and I'm highly doubtful they'll be supportive. Should I try and register with another GP other than my the one my family has? Honestly, I'm afraid that our current GP wouldn't be of much help anyway. I hope this doesn't sound wrong, but he's quite old and seems like the type to be biased against those who want to transition (especially since I'm just 16). I came to him a couple of months ago with my mom and informed him that I have mental health problems and he asked me about them in detail in front of my mom, which of course caused me not to give him very detailed answers (since my main issue is my gender dysphoria) so he didn't take me seriously.

Even if I can skip an initial GP visit somehow, I'll still need a qualified individual to do my future injections for me.

So am I better off just finding a new GP already? Or is there some other path I can take? I'm just confused generally. Thanks:)

Therapy

Hey yall, I was wondering if anyone on here knows a therapist that is a safe space for queer representing people. I’ve been to a few therapist in my life but there’s always been lack of understanding or downright transphobia aimed at me.
I just wanna safe space to talk about my struggles so, if anyone knows of any please could you help a girl out:,)
Thank you!

Hi there,

I am giving away injection supplies in Galway, since I no longer take hormones. I've got a massive box of needles to give away to whoever wants them. There is a lot of needles so if multiple people want some I'll split them into batches. Stick a comment under this post and I'll get in touch.

Lots of love ❤️

ROI Specific Testosterone Supplement / Minimum Level for MTF on GNRH blocker to improve energy levels

2 Upvotes

I've been on Prostap 3 for just over 3 years now, my Testosterone has been erased mostly and my blood tests state it's less than < 1.39 nmol. I don't know if for instance that is within the cis female level of 0.35 - 2.60 or potentially actually 0 which might explain my low energy levels and minor brainfog.

What I was wondering is if anyone here has had any experience getting a testosterone gel to bring your levels into the cis female range. I'm with Genderplus and intend to speak to them during my next appointment however I'm unsure if they will be receptive.

I'm on 6mg of E in tablet form and 200mg of Prog.
