Because it’s an expense I simply can’t afford atm. I need to go to a therapist, get an official indication for my transgender identity, and then I can ask my health insurance to pay for it.

Make sure you go to the right therapist, a lot of people are not up to snuff on this stuff, and that can really fuck you up. What worked for me was to call the insurance and they provided a list. I know them feels sis!

There’s two websites I found where queer people can reccommend medical professionals they went to, so that’s what I’m using to find one

Because honestly, my insurance has proven to be incompetent on a few accounts already

Ah sorry to hear that. I’m also quite poor and yet spending a ton on health insurance just to be able to get a half decent coverage. But it’s great you found a solution there.

So it’s too expensive to visit one or is it an emotional thing?
