Glad to hear other people feel the same way. A few months into a transition and I can say it helps a bit to meet gorgeous cis women who I absolutely get gender envy from, but don't have any sexual attraction too. Helps to learn how to separate those emotions

Omgggg hrt please make me shooorter

You've been thinking it about it every day for months. You need to do it. Speaking as someone who started transistioning within a year of sobering up, you've been masking the pain of dysphoria with narcotics. That will kill you. And the dysphoria will get worse as you age. Do you talk to a therapist?

I'm afraid I've no idea of costs, I presume just the NHS prescription charge so £9 per med. Yea their website is not great but if you email them a person will get back to you and they're super helpful and friendly. They've helped out a lot of trans people (and got a lot of stick from the Telegraph etc). I don't even think you'll need to travel, online appts and then pick up from your pharmacy. Best of luck!

There is a clinic in Brighton called wellBn (or maybe wellBN1). They are very trans positive and will take patients from all across the country to allow them or access gender affirming care. They currently have a wait list of 2 months or so to get seen, but that's not bad. Might be worth checking their website and shooting them an email.

Needed to hear this thank you!

The souvenir show is really funny

Milquetoast?

My dm's always open to chat :). You sound like the kind of person I'd like to see more of in the world. And it sucks that being a person who goes out of their way to help others is so often comorbid with having a (usually undeserved imo) negative perception of themselves. Do you the story about the Persian king who offered great rewards to anyone who could make him feel hopeful when he is sorrowful and ground him when he is elated? ( I'm paraphrasing and butchering the story somewhat)

You sound like a lovely person to have around and it sounds like you've really helped someone in need. I hope you were able to take some time for yourself and recuperate etc. Wishing you all the best in the future x

That sounds like a really shit situation, you're doing a really good thing for someone and I'm sorry it feels shitty
