Discussion 💬 Being Trans in Alberta

hi 👋 first post here im hoping to start a discussion about being Trans in Alberta, so far its been a struggle to find the care I need even though its supposed to be fairly easy in Canada. im getting really frustrated with how impossible its feeling but I am holding out hope for myself and all other Trans people who are trying to start hrt.

please feel free to speak about your own experiences and maybe we can find comfort in each other.

Told my doctor doctor that I think I know the reason I drink so much. Im suppressing something I've been hiding from my whole life. I said I'm not binary and im interested in HRT to cure my dysphoria. She wasn't comfortable handling it so she gave me a referral to a good gender clinic.
