I don't know how to reply. Its seems an easy question to ask, but no one here has replied - and I don't know why. Perhaps it's because everyone has that problem, how to pay for what we feel we must have. It's hard enough just to get the okay from the therapists - and that's what we talk about here at Laura's. I remember seeing a few posts on special programs - I seem to remember they were in a clinic in Florida offering reduced rates for those who were not able to pay full price. But that may have been at another support site. It seems we are always an unpopular group - we transsexual - with society at large. I don't see a lot of people lining up to help us - and certainly not financially.

I hope someone has more advice. As a moderator I can say it is not acceptable to ask for contributions, only for information on sources.

Good luck on your journey

You are in Nevada, so winning it would be an option. :D

Seriously the reason that you haven't gotten more replies is that we are all pretty much in the sami boat and baling as fast as we can!

Mia's suggestion is certainly a starting place.

Some people find a really good friend who is willing and able to help out, I don't know where those people hang out!

Just like you found us, research and work hard until you accidentally tumble over it.

Love ya,

Sally

Well, Karma.....

My answer to that is to tell you what I have done......

I started saving pocket change over a couple of years..It is my "Transition Fund".

Well, I would wrap the coins and take them to the bank and started an account just for that.

As of late I had over $2,000.00....I've paid for my therapist, some clothes, I'm looking for an Endo right now and it will also come out of that fund...

I'm constantly putting into it and you would be supprised how much pocket chance adds up!~

If you don't have any pocket change it gets harder ..then revert back to the above posts...

As it goes right now I am litterally nickle-dime-ing my old self to death! :lol:

***HUGGS***

I hope something works out....this is hard work.....

XXOO

      Now that is what I call service!  Congratulations on your HRT and on having such good patient care.

      I agree with you, and I consider myself lucky to have a realistic understanding that I’m never going to have my dream body. I take comfort in the fact that women come in all shapes and sizes. I compare myself to the women in my family at the age I am now, and see that resemblance. It may be easier to transition into an Auntie or Grandmotherly figure once you reach a certain age.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I’m happy that I’m moving closer to @Betty K although I don’t have a problem getting my point across when defending our LGBTQIA community.

      Once I start mowing the lawn I’ll be listening to Outlaw Country on SIRUS XM on my noise canceling headphones. I often wonder if drowning out the motor noise and replacing it with your favorite tunes is really protecting your ears? Rock on with new song writers that aren’t a part of the Big Corporate Music Grinder.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      @Heather Shay, you know me, I am a total crybaby. My emotions flow right through me.

      Is it a thing to not want to be transgender? Absolutely. I’ve heard trans folk say many times that they wished they were born cis. I find it heartbreaking and I’m hugely relieved I don’t feel that way, but I know some people do.   You don’t need body dysphoria to be trans. You don’t need any dysphoria. You just need to feel a mismatch between your gender identity and your sex assigned at birth. Of course, whether or not you should transition is a different question, but some people do so without body dysphoria. In my case, my dysphoria is mainly social, though I do feel some body dysphoria.   British writer Paris Rees said that maybe if society weren’t so transphobic she wouldn’t have felt the need to transition. I wonder about that sometimes too, but I find it impossible to know.   Can I make one suggestion w/r/t therapists? I agree with Vicky’s suggestion, but I hope you will avoid anyone claiming to practise “exploratory therapy”, and if you start feeling that a therapist is trying to “cure” you of your gender that you will find someone else. The affirmative model of care, contrary to what some anti-trans campaigners would have you believe, simply means that the clinician takes your own view of your gender seriously. This is crucial, imo, if you are to discover your own identity. No-one can know if you are trans but you, but it sure helps to have someone knowledgeable to discuss it with.

      Good morning everyone,    Parker has been walked, fed and watered. He’s now checking to make sure the backyard doesn’t have any squirrels in it. The largest squirrel is on an overhanging branch chirping at him. The other sounds of the neighborhood include a far off in the distance interstate highway, that is drowned out by bird songs claiming the feeders are full. We still don’t have any cicadas in our area yet. The coffee pot is finishing up so I’ll be scrolling through the threads with thumb swipes, and not replying until I drink the first cup. Today is the pick of the week according to the local weather person. So I’ll be mowing the lawn once the morning dew has lifted.    I hope you have a wonderful day.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Are you able to deal (express) with your emotions or do you block them?

      You might need adjustment. I think fatigue might be something you discuss with your endo or doctor or NP.
