1 year waiting list for puberty blockers

[Sahara]

Ok so I am on the waiting list for Hrt, specifically puberty blockers. I am 13 and every day I notice that I am going further and faster into male puberty (I am mtf) I just feel so defeated because I am going to notice every damn day how I am becoming going further into a male puberty and it being less likely I will ever pass. Approximately 365 days of me noticing this. About 365 times my chances of ever passing get lower and lower. 
I have an appointment with my gender therapist today so I can talk to her. Will also probably talk to my friends. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this post if so tell me and I will move it to the correct place. But anyway does anyone have any advice or anything. Thanks

It will not be that dramatic so my suggestion is to calm down and do get your GT involved in this.  I am 71 and started my HRT at 60 years old, and my "passing" ability is just fine these days, (go into my  gallery and look at my more serious pictures)  because part of it is attitude that is not helped by cussing things out although I can still do it. I still have memories of 58 years ago when I was 13 though and know how frustrated I could get back then. I now have wholly cis 13 and 15 year old grand sons who helps remind me of those days.

 

I am not sure why it will take you a year to get on Lupron if your therapist and parents agree it is needed, especially there in Colorado.  The drug is readily available since it is used for several conditions in adult males and two for teenagers as the doctor notices it.  There is a drawback that has been discovered for MtF teens however in that you will not develop sufficient skin down in the scrotal area to be used for GCS and you will have to have a more complicated surgery when the time comes, just like Jazz Jennings had to have.  Another one of my 17 year old MtF friends (actually a  Goddaughter) is faced with the same more complicated surgery, but because she is full time could even take a two year hiatus before beginning actual HRT to develop the tissue, but she is till considering it as an option.

 

One suggestion I do have is to have your  parents and or therapist contact the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles  Department of Adolescent Medicine Trans Youth Program.  They have online resources for Trans Youth that are private but could possibly put you in contact with other young people.  I know the Department head socially and they have over 700 patients across the U.S.

I second what vicki just said. Don't why it would take that long. However, enjoy this time to work on yr inner self. Trans people (and I am a victim of this as well until recently) put WAY too power on the word  PASS....You don't have to pass to be human..your just human..enjoy the read..Good Luck keep us posted

So the clinic is the one of the only clinics around here that provides hrt so they have a years worth of people to handle before me. Talked to gender therapist and there are some newer doctors that don’t have much of a waitlist. But both you and my GT have kinda shown me I am definitely overreacting to this.

thanks for the advice it helps a lot
