princedick-deactivated20120515 asked: I have a transgender friend. They're very discouraged by prices of the transition. Is it really so expensive?
it can be especially if youre considering surgeries and things like that
testosterone and estrogen can be ridiculously gogdamn expensive and all too but it works better than getting a surgery right away because you dont have to keep doing it if you feel really uncomfortable with the things happening to you
this tumblr right here has a lot of information on clinics in different areas and everything else involving hormones and anything you would ever need to know
your friend should probably talk to a professional counselor or someone who knows and accepts them about prices and look at their budget because some shit is really expensive and sometimes you can find options that are cheaper
like if you look carefully at some shit target has its like a really cheap but really useful christmas for dudes like me
people transitioning from m to f and f to m have different needs and different things cost different amounts and last i checked i dont have a penis nor do i want to get rid of said metaphorical penis so im not the best to ask about girls like that
if your friend still has questions feel free to hit me up any time and i can go into the specifics of some strider-approved places to shop and buy things from
[ooc; how did this get so long aaa;;; but yes if you have any specific, personal questions i can answer them privately and recruit the help of some other trans* people i know if it falls outside of my area of expertise! :3]
