This is my first post so please go easy on me. I have looked online and have not found any therapist around the San Antonio Texas area and the nearest one would be in Austin which is 2 hour drive one way from a small town outside of San Antonio. Also, has anyone found any good endocrinologist there that list that they help or will treat transgender as well and any info you give would be helpful and thanks in advance. I am wanting to go on hormones the legal and safe way and not do what I did when I was in my earlier twenties which was take a amount from out of country that was considered safe for my weight and all.

Hello Laura Renee,

Come on in and sit down, I'll get you some milk and fresh baked cookies.

You aren't in the introductions forum but this is the right place for this post so I'll pen the window and the smell of the cookies will get the other's attention.

I can't help you myself, but there are a few members here from the San Antonio area and they should be able to help so relax and enjoy your cookies while you wait.

Love ya,

Sally

I live in a small west Texas town with no hope at all of any kind of local assistance, so I went with Dr. Bushong, over the phone. So far so good, really, but honestly, I wish I could talk to someone face to face and I wish I had a local doctor for the hormone issues and questions. I just don't think I can afford to drive to San Antonio or Austin for therapy. Blah. Although it looks like Im going to have to for the hair removal... Yay for living in the sticks. : )

Angie, if it crosses your mind, I wouldn't mind having the information you are offering too. Im not sure what good it would do me right now, but a back up plan is always a good thing to have, and I can get to San Antonio without any trouble if I have to.

Dr. Wray is in Lulling Texas, which is about half way between San Antonio and Austin. She's been recommended to me before for HRT, I would call her beforehand though to see if she is taking new patients.

      No more talk

      In my last session my therapist is starting to suggest that I need to start exploring my gender identity in a more tangible way through wearing feminine clothing at least during sessions.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around her seeing me actually en femme.   I love and trust her, but the thought of being visibly feminine is scaring (and thrilling) me.  Is this a common thing in gender therapy?  How do I get past the fear?  More importantly, what should I wear?

      What Are the Key Findings of the NHS "Cass" Review of Youth Gender Care?

      By Davie · Posted

      USA doctors denounce Cass Report, support trans folks.  The Endocrine Society And American Academy Of Pediatrics Respond To Cass, Reject Bans. In recent weeks, the Cass Review out of the United Kingdom has been used to argue for bans on care. The Endocrine Society and American Academy of Pediatrics respond, rejecting such arguments. —Erin Reed https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/endocrine-society-and-american-academy?publication_id=994764&post_id=144592467&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true

      Finally Starting HRT

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      I felt the urge to date and felt just like a teenager again. I have recorded my journal titled Ashley's Life From Start to Present. I was very moody and agitated and happy. I think it was my body's way of being in shock. After about two months it got better. Remember that you aren't the only one transitioning because your wife is too. Consider yourself lucky because I lost mine because of it and so have many others. Just enjoy the ride.

      I'm sorry for asking so many questions about your situation. I'm in your camp and believe you should be able to be whoever you feel you need to be. I guess it the Union Shop Stewart coming out in me. I want you to be treated fairly as well as respectably. You're human, you're a client of theirs. Especially if you're paying money to be there.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Political candidate, who linked pedophiles with LGBTQIA+, gains preselection approval.

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.

      Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology.

      Welcome to Lefty Land.... a festive theme park full of sparkles and unicorns, a perfect place except for one evil orange dragon wearing a blond wig.    I'm always amazed at the "flexibility" of definitions.  One person's f@scist seems like a centrist to others.  One person's "moderate" looks to others like the 2nd coming of Fidel Castro.  A normal marriage a century or two ago is now a criminal offense, and relationships that used to be a criminal offense are now open, normal marriages.  Pedophiles now want to be called "minor attracted persons" and teenagers are now defined as children.  A Republican in NY or CA would be a Democrat just about anywhere else.  I'm certainly no advocate for relativism, these are just observations.    What I find interesting about this Australian candidate is the attitude that he shouldn't be allowed to run for office.  Why?  Just because his views are different, or even offensive?  Who makes that determination?  Can an election really be open and fair if it is barred to candidates who are not "politically correct?"  Here in the USA, we can openly have candidates who are f@scist or any other thing they want to be, no real restrictions aside from eligibility requirements related to age, location, citizenship, and criminal record.

      @Birdie You certainly have more patience than I do.  I don't take it well if I get scolded.  Either I sulk or I get nippish.    We had a good Mother's Day here yesterday.  Quite an event, since 4 of my partners are mothers.  GF enjoys it a lot, because she's very (excessively?) proud of having produced her 5 kids.  Her eldest starts school this fall.  Amazing how time flies...
