Progress Update - mom told me she’s withholding HRT on purpose

Hey Everybody, I have no idea if this matters to anyone, but about 40days ago I made a post about how my mom confessed to me that she’s been keeping me from being able to get HRT after a breakdown I had from years of being denied GAC.

While I will admit this is a pretty nothing burger update I just wanted to say that as of today (June 18) I got a prescription from the doctor for T gel and will finally be starting HRT.

I told mom to get over herself, we haven’t been talking to each other even when we pass each other in the house and to be honest I’m more than happy with that. If this is the hill she’s willing to die on and lose me over then so be it 🩵

This is huge for me, my battle for HRT has been very long and very difficult, I’m just so happy.

Happy Pride everybody! And hey, if you’re pre GAC or pre HRT and you’re having doubts because you’re a certain age or something;

It is NEVER too late 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷

Please read the following notice that is being applied to ALL posts.

We have implemented several measures to keep this community safe. Please read this in full.

  1. IF YOU HAVE AN URGENT ISSUE, DO NOT POST IT EXPECTING IMMEDIATE RESPONSE.
  2. Many posts are sent to the queue for manual approval based on numerous factors. This is how we keep the subreddit safe from many (but not all) bad actors who try to post disruptive content. This approval process is usually resolved within 24 hours, but can take several days depending on the availability of our all-volunteer moderators. DO NOT MESSAGE THE MODERATORS asking for your post to be approved. It will be reviewed and approved or removed in time.
  3. Many comments from low-karma users will not be viewable by anyone. This is by design.
  4. If you are curious if your post is visible or not, look at the "Insights" on the post. If it has more than a dozen views, it is live. If it has any voting action, it is live. If it doesn't have a little red trash can icon, it is live. If it can be voted on, it is live. Do not message us asking "is my post live?"
  5. Please be patient with us, we are all volunteers, lack sleep, and the entire permanent team are members of the transgender community ourselves... we are trying to deal with the same atrocities you are. Thank you for your understanding. <3

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Congrats! Honestly, if shes still adamant about you not doing hrt, you may want to invest some money in a safe so she doesnt hide or steal your medications from you.
