things to consider as you become your true gender

This is a very long video. I wanted to talk about things you'll need to know before (or while) you transition from one gender to another. they're things I wish I knew. I hope this is helpful to some people.

I'm currently bringing home about 2200.00 a month and probably spend about half that on living expenses. So what I'm wondering is if all these girls that I see on YT are transitioning on a budget of 1100 to 1000 per month? Like is that doable, or do I need to save some money first before I start?

I have an even lower income than that, and have through my entire transition. If you're able to you may want to save for a while before you start. the biggest expense up front for me was clothes, but if you're willing to do thrift stores it'll be cheaper. counseling will be another major cost. unless your insurance(if you have it) covers it, you'll want to have money set aside for that. most sessions are about $100.

your primary care doctor can prescribe hormones in a regular appointment, so if you have insurance to cover that you should be fine. hormones are around $40 for the testosterone blocker and (if you do injectable) $120 per vial of estrogen. one vial lasts a few months. I haven't been able to save for any surgery yet because my expenses don't allow for that. I'm making $200/month payments on a loan I took out for my hair removal. if you can afford to save and wait things will go more smoothly. :)

I hate the term "privilege." -.- Leaves a bad taste in the mouth...

My insurance does cover the therapy. I haven't seen my therapist in a year, but he had approved me to find and endo at that time. However, my wife was leaving me at that time and I decided not to transition at that time and have been dealing with the loss of my marriage over the last year. I think my insurance covers 13 sessions a year, but I have an established history with this therapist so I don't really think I would need to see him more than once a month. Not sure if hormones are coverd

Remember how I said you were one of the most amazing people I know?

Putting yourself out there like this for people....This is one of the reasons why.

This was really great. Thank you so much for doing this. I just have one question for now. If you don't mind me asking what was your monthly income when you began transition, and what was the amount you paid on transition related costs per month like with hormones, hair removal, clothes and any other monthly stuff, and then have you been able to save for facial surgery or GRS having had all those monthly costs?
