Hi everyone. I haven’t posted in a really long time. I am trying to find out if there are any secret Facebook groups for Trans men, if so, I’d really appreciate help getting in to one as I don’t want anyone on Facebook to be able to see the group.

Thanks!

my doctor was a bit vague about this. He said to start using the scar strips right away to help prevent keloids (I already have 2 keloids on my chest) I know in most cases people wait a month or so to use the strips but he said I could go ahead. But he didn't say how long to continue using them or how often?? And how long I should leave them on before changing them? Do I just leave them on 24/7?

Hi everyone,

I haven't posted or been on LJ for years, I am looking for support and friends. Right now I live in York Region and I am in need of a Trans friendly family doctor. I have one downtown Toronto but it is a hike for me to get there. Is anyone familiar with any family doctors open to having new patients one who is Trans living in the York Region area, particularly in Markham?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much! 

so I don't have a lot of facial hair, but I do get a pretty good mustache and some under/around my chin. I don't like it too long, I'd rather keep the scruffy look, but all I've got is a normal razor. I know I need some sort of trimmer, but idk what to get, and considering I don't have much to work with, I feel like an electric razor is a bit silly. At the moment I'm using scissors.

So it looks like my top surgery is happening in about 3 weeks, and this doctor uses drains (my first choice didn't but my insurance fell through) and I'm a bit concerned about dealing with them. Mostly A)when sleeping...are they in the way?? And B) Can I keep them hidden or confined or something, or do they just hang there? Any tips for taking care of drains really helpful.

Hey I didn't get any reply on my last post. I'm moving to London for school in September and I don't know where to start with getting my T there. Should I take a big supply with me? Advice please?

I have been in T for seven years. Recently I had renewed my prescription and picked it up. It was accidentally thrown out in the bag that I had purchased it in. I had called my doctor and explained everything and the woman I spoke with said it was no problem and that he will renew the Rx. Well, he wanted bloods first (which made no sense as I had just been given a refill!!!). This is a doctor who works EXCLUSIVELY with the LGBT community. I live 2 hours away from his office and explained that I can't just walk in for a blood draw! It has been almost a MONTH since all of this started and he has still not refilled my Rx. I had my last shot about 3 weeks again and I take it every 2 weeks. My big concern is do I have to worry about menstruation starting again? I am unbelievably fucking furious with this guy and you would think that he and his staff would be far more considerate when they work with Trans people every fucking day!!! I just hope someone can give me a fairly concrete answer.

Thanks in advance!

I won't know if I'm moving for a few months still, but if I do I will be moving in September and living there for 3 years at least. I'm wondering what happens to my health insurance (I'm insured through my job), can I get it over there and how would I be getting my T? I know they have a better health care system so I'm hoping it's still fairly simple to get ahold of. If anyone could point me to some helpful websites that would be great.
