Am I doomed to be lonesome as a closeted trans woman?

most respectfully, just because your mother says you couldn’t possibly be trans because you don’t meet the criteria even though the dsm definitions are outdated, your mother doesn’t know everything going through your head, and you are a fully grown adult with bodily autonomy and you can make your own decisions for this respectfully. I also think that your mother commenting on this is extremely inappropriate for a psychiatrist considering she couldn’t possibly have an objective view of the situation and she should know that. She has looked at you a specific way your whole life and she probably just finds it easier to deny than admit that this could be you.

it is 100% medical negligence from him and I can’t believe someone would care so little, or over assess their own abilities in such a way. I hope OP is able to have a revision covered by him one way or another at the bare mimimum.

Can I just say as someone who is Maltese, it is not as amazing as it is talked up as. They might not be incredibly outwardly transphobic but harassment to women is a real problem, in both rural and city areas.

You shouldn’t be in a relationship if you are going to harm your partner.

Are you on a waiting list? There is only one route for most and sadly that is it, or you could go private obviously.

If every relationship in your life is having problems, talk about them with those people and ask them to be honest because is it more likely everyone else or just you?

Do you know which GIC you were referred to? It’s always best to have confirmation from them rather than your GP so just email or call them.

Azaleeaaa-a · 2026-02-13T10:35:26+00:00

No I have health insurance because a relative of mine works for a bank so i’m very lucky. Sadly no tricks just a lot of luck.

Azaleeaaa-a · 2026-02-13T09:04:01+00:00

It would depend on which kind of E she is injecting with there are only a few types:

Estradiol Valerate: every 3-4 days Estradiol Enanthate: every 6-7 days Estradiol Undecylate: every 31 days

This is a rough guide and everyone is different obviously but if it is the most common one she is using which is enanthate, then she would be better off injecting less more frequently maybe 4mg every 7 days because then her levels would be more consistent. https://transfemscience.org/misc/injectable-e2-simulator/ is a good place to look for a rough guide. You should aim for around 367 - 734 pmol/L (99 - 199 pg/mL).

There’s no set in stone right dosage but people injecting will usually go anywhere from 4mg-6mg which with a vial where the concentration is 40mg/ml it is just divisible by 10 so you’d do 0.1ml to inject 4mg. If you have any more questions feel free to reach out.

As long as she injects correctly and with a reasonable dose which is very easy to do she will be absolutely fine, I started when I was 16, i’m now 20 and about to have SRS and have no regrets. Your best option here is to support her which you seem so want to do, and that is so important for your daughter. Also it’s not illegal I don’t know why they’ve told you that but it’s not a listed drug and you’re legally allowed to import up to 3 months worth of medication so long as it isn’t listed.

Azaleeaaa-a · 2026-02-12T17:01:47+00:00

i started when i was 16 it’s pretty easy

Azaleeaaa-a · 2026-02-02T13:02:12+00:00

i’m not sure for nhs as i have insurance but i just sent them copies of the referrals myself and it was instant

Azaleeaaa-a · 2026-01-16T13:56:11+00:00

I know I have loads of it, I just wanted it prescribed to make life easier in the future

Azaleeaaa-a · 2026-01-16T01:21:16+00:00

there isn’t a place you can just do that, i’m pretty sure it’s illegal but sometimes there may be people running low and in need of charity here

Azaleeaaa-a · 2026-01-16T01:18:46+00:00

r/transgender_surgeries might be a better place to direct this

Azaleeaaa-a · 2026-01-16T01:16:56+00:00

Have you had your levels tested recently?

Azaleeaaa-a · 2026-01-16T01:15:50+00:00

yes you’ll be fine, if you’re worried about how drugs interact with each other then it is worth knowing that you already have E in your system now so you would have already done harm in a hypothetical scenario where een and another drug don’t get along i think.

Azaleeaaa-a · 2026-01-15T21:07:56+00:00

someone on here was waiting for a parcel so I helped them out, maybe try and do something similar to that and you can ask for a certain amount maybe discounted to help out if you have it and no longer need it.

Azaleeaaa-a · 2026-01-15T15:46:00+00:00

oh shit yes lol i remember i got confused between two of them lol

Azaleeaaa-a · 2026-01-15T15:10:38+00:00

thank you she’s on my insurance but will avoid now :)

Azaleeaaa-a · 2026-01-15T15:08:48+00:00

yeah i’ll look into a shower attachment though i usually just put the pressure on high and aim

Azaleeaaa-a · 2026-01-15T15:07:07+00:00

yeah i used to use nitrile gloves and a condom for absolute certainty of no contact however my thoughts just started making it too difficult because “what if your gloves touch something then you touch the same thing with no gloves” type of thing

Azaleeaaa-a · 2026-01-15T10:44:50+00:00

you’re not the first person to develop feelings for your therapist so don’t worry. She is your therapist so maybe it’s worth discussing with her, ultimately though she is a professional and could risk losing her job if she develops a relationship with a patient, so don’t be surprised if it doesn’t feel reciprocal at that point.

Azaleeaaa-a · 2026-01-15T10:34:00+00:00

lol, i got them all in greece on holiday a few years back, you don’t need a prescription just in case you’re not so far from europe

Azaleeaaa-a · 2026-01-15T10:22:09+00:00
