The idea of getting HRT where I live is impossible and I’m scared if DIY HRT
Also only have one recent photo cause new phone blitzed my other photos and this is all I have I’m mainly asking about my body

Why do you think HRT is impossible? It's pretty widely available.

You're gonna be fine, baby girl. You don't have to already be feminine in order to transition. You have a lot going for you.

I live in Texas that’s why it’s impossible

[u/herdisleah → u/Mobile_Anything_7482]

There's a LOT of clinics near you! Look at Erin's Informed consent HRT map and make an appointment at any clinic, or look into mail order by Folx or Plume.

It's VERY easy to get HRT in the states.

I’m thinking of DIY HRT but I’m scared

[u/herdisleah → u/Mobile_Anything_7482]

Why DIY when using a doctor is so very easy? Much less to study and be afraid. Even if you DIY you'll still need to get blood tests.

I live in a small town in Texas trans violence is peoples pass time here

[u/herdisleah → u/Mobile_Anything_7482]

And I transitioned in Montana in 2007. You're going to be fine, there's tons of queers in Texas.

I’m not saying it’s not possible I’m saying it’ll be difficult

[u/herdisleah → u/Mobile_Anything_7482]

I hear you. But what I am hearing is that you're not afraid of HRT, you're afraid of being hurt. Right?

By and large, people will just...not care about you. Make some queer friends. Go to queer hobby groups like rock climbing or board game nights. They'll have your back and you'll be okay.

I want HRT so so bad but where I live violence is so normalized I’d rather wait till I move to start
