So I've been thinking for a while about transitioning (2 and a bit years of thinking) and I think I may be ready to run with it. I don't have a bunch of expendable cash though. I thought about maybe fundraisers like building snow men or shovelling people driveways. (it's almost winter on my end) But I'm not sure that will bring in a whole lot.
I'm looking to cover my councillor bills for a bit so I can save up for the T because I can afford $60 a month I can't how ever afford $110 a month on top of that to talk for an hour.
I have a chipin account but I'm not sure how to get the word out and about and get people into donating.
any ideas anyone has would be awesome.

I'm starting my medical transition hopefully in the next month . Where I live I'm mostly covered, save for the psychologist. The way it goes for me, I see a councilor to guide me, psychologist to prescribe me, endocrinologist to monitor me, social worker to help with things like work and school. I'm not sure what its like on your end, but for me, The only real way to get T is by having a psych prescribe it. Its going to take at least 3 sessions with the psych(110$ each hour, if my councilor can't wave his magic wand and convince the doc to give me a discount). and usually sessions are two hours each so that's...660$ add the taxes. If you want to get T in the shortest time possible its important to be prepared, have evidence of your experience, your feelings and your desires.
Councilors who are free or low cost are not hard to find, if there are any not-for-profit organizations in your area for lgbt people or even just low income, contacting them would be a wise thing to do, they have connections and resources that are unbelievably helpful. Without going through an organization they can be hard to find. I was looking for months before a social worker at the CLSC got me connected with someone. The reason I couldn't find him was because he works at the AIDS center in the next city over. Yeah, unexpected.
Good luck!
Oh, and welcome to the board!

I've been thinking about surgery but idk if i should get it. I'm 15 and my ex broke up w/ me because he said I was too feminine - so i think that if i am feminine already, why not go ahead and just be like a normal person. but i've looked at pics of surgery and im anxious about starting the process, what should i do? any suggestions?

Hi folks. I was/am Bi... probably lost my bi card when I settled down with my husband... but I still look at and appreciate what's around me.
Anyway, I have a question. My oldest son has told me he wants to have a sex change. I'm happy to support him in anything he decides, but I'm wondering if he's making the decision based on the right reasons.
At first he said he was attracted to lesbians so he wanted to be a woman for that reason, then he said he was gay, (I admit I suspected he was Bi) then he said he felt as though he was in the wrong body and that he knew he'd be happier as a woman.
I love my son and want him to be happy. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can talk to him, what advice I can give him, make sure he's doing what's right for him. I wanted him to join this forum to speak to folks in person but he's resistant to the idea at this time.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you.
