  • How to Get on Hormones

    Taking hormones can be a huge part of starting transition, but how does one get HRT? In this episode we answer a listener question from Mia who asks "I want to get on hormones, but am having trouble figuring out how to get access to hormones? Who can I talk to about this?" 


    If you are in the greater NYC area, check out Callen-Lorde Community Health Center. Planned Parenthood also provides HRT services among other important health care work. You can also search for transgender health care providers here.

    Our first episode with Dr. HD of Hormones Demystfied has a lot of good info on HRT.

    Check out the Center for Transgender Health which has a page on the Transgender Standards of Care.

    (And a clarification regarding psychologists and prescriptions: in some states, psychologists can prescribe  medications. However, it's only for medications that treat psychiatric conditions, not HRT.)

  • Do You Miss Anything about Living as a Guy?

    It's amazing to transition, but is everything always perfect afterward? This week we answer a listener question from Nora. She asks "Is there anything about being a cis male that you miss? Please don’t misconstrue this as 'do you regret transitioning?'  That question would be rude, inconsiderate, and non of my business. And it’s not a sociological question such as 'Don’t you wish women earned as much as men?'  I’m just wondering about day-to-day stuff  where there’s a (generalized) difference between the way women and men do things, or the way they act.



    As we discuss in the episode, check out this article on Everyday Feminism about women's secondary status in public places.

  • Impostor Syndrome

    Are you transgender but sometimes feel like an imposter? In this episode we answer a listener question from Ashley who writes "How do you deal with impostor syndrome? I'm six weeks into HRT and while I still have to present male most of the time, I'm generally hopeful for the future. But some days (rarely) I wake up and ask 'What am I doing?' I know in my heart of hearts that I'm a trans woman and that transition is for me, but some times I feel like a total fake.'"
