Seriously: Where the hell do people get HRT in like 3 months or so? Here it takes around 10-12 months waiting on a list to get HRT.

    From what I heard everyone suggests you get on the waiting list, before its usually longer then getting a therapist (usually getting into therapy takes about 6 months or longer)

      Oh yeah having to deal with a therapist will take longer for sure. It’s thankfully not required here anymore but it used to be the case

        Here its still needed, but for what I hear its the waaiting time to get an appointment that makes the whole process so long.

      Talk to Germans about this, but back in the day (10 years ago) when I started hormones America was just starting our informed consent thing and most doctors weren’t on board with it yet, some people would do DIY (or even just inform that they would) then go to the doctor and say that they’re already on hormones and happy with it, but would like to switch to doctor provided. It was always a risky move, but I remember hearing it worked from time to time
