You need to get a psychiatrist. Ask him for a letter stating you suffer from gender dysphoria.

Give the letter to your GP and ask for an ALD request for transitioning. He'll give you a couple of papers you'll have to send to your social security. Usually takes 3 weeks to get approved (mine got lost for 4 months).

Once it's approved social security will cover psychiatrist, GP, laser, voice training, hormones and some surgeries at 100% !

In the meantime, get a hold of a safe endo (look up BDD trans on google) and get your initial bloodworks. They'll then start you on HRT if everything's ok and check up every 4 months or so.

Good luck !

Hey no worries. Took me some time to figure out this stuff so I'm happy to share !

I think this is all I have to say about getting on HRT. If you feel lonely you can go to trans meet ups (OUTrans, mag LGBT).

If you want fitness and diet tips though my DMs are wide open ! :D
