Hey...I'm a transgender person who is very tempted to go forth, find a doctor and hopefully get set up for HRT, but, well, I'm nervous. I don't know what it's like. I am just curious if there's anyone who has or taking HRT to let me know what it was like for them, getting the doctor, getting the prescription, and then what the actual treatment is like over time.

It's something I've been really curious about, and with what may happen here soon, it may be better to get started sooner than later.

@RikkiShinzui Where do you live? Depending on where you live there's different ways to get treatment. In the USA, there's the old way of getting a therapist, working with them to get a treatment plan set up with an endocrinologist and therapy, or there's informed consent. Planned Parenthood often does the informed consent thing where they do the blood testing and prescribe hormones. Transition stuff is very customized to the person and it's usually a good idea to have a doc monitoring you.
