So I've finally managed to get the process of getting hormones going, so far I've booked an appointment with my GP on the 16th Nov and an appointment with Dr Sahota of Gender Doctors on the 20th Nov.

To my knowledge the next thing I need to do is book an appointment with the endocrinologist, however I'm not sure how to contact them, or even what the options are (I think I remember seeing the name Dr Hammond mentioned somewhere as a good option)? I'm assuming it's a good idea to get this sorted before meeting with Dr Sahota so everything is as quick as possible.

Additionally I was just wondering if there were any good resources on how to talk to the GP about shared care for prescriptions?

I've been out to my parents as trans for a bit over half a year now, and in that time I have done absolutely nothing towards transitioning. I'm on the waiting list for NHS hormones but that's like 3 years away from going anywhere. I wanted to go private and start HRT before I start university at the beginning of October, but never got round to it. I wanted to tell my brother over the summer holiday's, but never got round to it. I wanted to choose some nice fem clothes to wear for uni, but never got round to it.

I've basically spent the past 7 months going around my life as a guy and thinking of myself as a pervert for having to force myself not to stare at any remotely queer looking girl I

I've got two things I want to talk here so I might as well do them both in one post.

First, I finally managed to get in contact with Nottingham to check if they have my referral (yes they do) and I was told wait times are 37 months currently for first appointments from new referrals, with my referral date being the 10th of February. That's 10 weeks longer than their current listed wait times for people getting their first appointments now which means it looks like covid has worsened the situation quite a bit. Just thought this might be useful information for anyone getting a referral now.

Secondly, I've just started taking Sertraline as an antidepressant and I was just wondering how li

I did my A-Levels last summer, and took a gap year before going to uni. So I'm going to uni this September already with my A-Level results back. Every other university I applied to seems to have understood this and I've got back 4 unconditional offers, however Edinburgh just sent me this message

1. Do I need to have a deed poll, will not having one affect my chance of diagnosis or even getting an appointment?

2. Will going through the process of looking into other problems such as depression affect my chance of diagnosis?

Hi, trans girl here, I saw u/SkooDaQueen's question about bras, and I just wanted to expand that from bras to any sort of specifically women's clothing. Do you have any advice on buying clothes (especially with pre-HRT bodies), as well as any suggestions of favourite places for buying clothes?

A few months ago I made a post on the feminine boys subreddit about looking feminine without buying womens clothes, but now the situation is different and I'm out to my parents, and my mum is pretty supportive about me getting clothes and stuff, so I want to ask some advice on this.

1. How do I go about finding info on how women's clothes work, like what different terminology means and what types of clothes are available? Like what's the difference between types of skirts, or what's the difference between men's tops and women's tops? Also where to buy clothes would be nice, as even before coming out I was never very involved with clothes shopping (mostly my mum just brought back random shit

How do people go about choosing a private psychologist? I've mainly been looking at what endos they refer to, as I can't be bothered to go all the way to London every ~6 months which essentially narrows it down to GenderCare, Northern Gender Network, and GenderDoctors. As they refer to Dr Leong (The Wirral), Dr Quinton (Newcastle), and Dr Hammond (Leeds). Are there any other important things to look into in psychologists?

Currently I've mainly been looking at Dr Lorimer from GC, Dr Charlton from NGN, and Dr Sahota from GD. Does anyone have any experience with any of these three, any information on wait times and what they're like to talk to would be nice? Should I try making an appointment

Is there anything I should consider other than location and waiting list length when choosing which GIC to be referred to?

I'm currently in Cumbria but will have moved to uni by the time they get round to me, and this will probably be Lancaster University though I'm not 100% certain on that.

I was originally looking at Leeds but it seems like Nottingham has much shorter wait times according to their site and Genderkit, does anyone know how accurate this is?

Is there much difference in the treatment or general service quality between Leeds and Nottingham?
