Curious if y’all have any tips in getting enough courage to make a phone call to set up an appointment for hrt? I got my anxiety resolved for the mostpart recently but I’m still trying to find that last bit to actually manage to make the call

    Assuming you’re trying to call a place/person who offers HRT regularly, try to remember that the person who answers your call has received this same call many times before and wants to help you get what you need. And it’s okay for you to ask for what you need. You deserve to get what you need.

    Alternatively, remember that the longer you delay, the longer you still have way too much testosterone flowing through you. 😉

    It’s scary to take these big steps, but you’re traveling a well-worn path walked by we who came before you. 💜

      P.S. When I transitioned, I had this mantra which I found immensely helpful: “There is not one damn person on the face of this earth I ever have to see again if I truly decide I don’t want to.”

      “Truly” is a heavy decision to make, but there’s always some way to push them forever out of your life and keep going. Often very difficult, but the option is there. 💜🏳️‍⚧️
