Can you get top surgery

without being on T yet? And does anyone know why did NUH suspend their GRS? Thanks.

Wasting my time

Understand the need to be financially stable but I just can't wait to transition. I feel that I'm wasting my time living meaninglessly.

Top surgery, dysphoria, gay friends

As much as I know that someday top surgery will come and not having a penis is totally ok, I still have the occasional bouts of dysphoria, especially when I'm hanging out with my circle of cis gay guy friends. It wrecks me when I see them take off their shirts and have that bulge in their pants that will never flop onto the ground by accident. Graughhh.

I label myself as butch but

I have always known that I am not just a masculine girl. However, I don't think I would have the courage to transition, as much as I want to live my life as a man. Maybe it’s just that the social cost of being trans outweighs the benefits of feeling more comfortable in my body. Looking for housing as trans person, being rejected for insurance, fearing that I will never get the job/education I desire, not being able to adopt or have kids - I feel like it has worn me down so much. It seems like trans people have it worse than LGB people. Perhaps I should be contented with settling for the "second best". How do you overcome the fear of the unknown?

Insurance

Can trans individuals get insurance? especially health insurance?

Career

Did you give up on a desired career path in favour of one that will accommodate your transitioning?

I have a huge fear

that I'll never meet a guy who likes me for me; regardless of being a trans guy, regardless of having been born in the wrong body.
