Hi all,

I am looking to start my transition but I was hoping to get some feedback from people already in the process about where did you go and how do you find the services they provide?

Due to waiting lists I will be selecting the private route and my GP has already agreed to do shared care.

Thank you for reading, any info is greatly appreciated.

Told my wife over the weekend I was trans.

Actually tried to soften it and said I was discussing gender identity and exploring if I was trans with my therapist.

After a big discussion where she started with "if you are trans, we're done" and ended with "I hope you don't transition, you'd make an ugly woman" and a lot of questions about whether my therapist made me trans, she moved out today while I was at work.

She text me this evening to say she's going to take at least a month in her parents house as it's too difficult to be in the same house.

I don't think I'm looking for advice, I'm just a bit sad and lost.

I knew it wasn't going to go well, and I've been building up to this for nearly a year, but it's still very tough to go through. :(

Anyone know of any trans friendly GPs to do them? I'm looking for masculinising treatment if that helps

Asking on behalf of a friend. She's a young trans woman who's been left with nowhere to go due to some factors outside of her control (including landlord being a bit of a dick).

Kinda a shot in the dark asking on reddit and all but I'm worried about her and trying to see if there's anything the community could do to help her.

Edit: Preferably close to Belfast.

I, (mtf, 17) had my imago welcome call in march 2026, the call was a little unprofessional and pointless but I got an appointment to talk to an imago doctor in July 2026.

The doctor said that she would give me a paper prescription because electronic prescriptions sometimes don’t work in Irish pharmacists. 2 weeks later I got an electronic prescription and lo and behold, it didn’t work!

I emailed imago, they gave me a list of pharmacies that allegedly are able to disperse the electronic prescriptions so I travelled to the nearest one and they said they can’t disperse the e-prescription!

I requested a paper prescription and 2 weeks later, I got an email saying the shipping provider sent the prescription back to them… they said they have sent it again with a different provider.

This whole situation is making me really anxious because not only am I waiting to see if the paper prescription even arrives, I also don’t even know if it will work yet! And on top of that, I have also seen people who think imago will be shut down and I cannot afford any other hrt provider….

Mind you I am still paying the monthly imago prescription during all of this and getting exactly jack shit from it🙏

Hi! First post. I'm 18 FtM and looking to start HRT once I start university. Planning to fund my transition with SUZI but that's not really important. I was wondering which service would be better to go for in terms of transitioning? I know more about Gender plus, and all I've really heard about Imago is the controversy that went on a few months ago. Gender plus is obviously more expensive, but I wanted to hear from people who are using either service. What have your experiences been with them?

As well I was wondering if having a medical card makes a difference with dispensing prices with Imago. I emailed Gender plus about it and they said having a medical card makes it much cheaper. Any response is appreciated. Thank you for reading :)

Does anyone in Limerick get their Imago prescription filled successfully in the Boots on Childers Road ? I just got my paper prescription and that would be the best location for me. Also does anyone know boots current cost of testgel.

All the voice training guides I see on YouTube are from either American/British Channels and I have tried mimicking their voice (with some success) but the voice always sounds like an American/Brit. I would like to be able to keep my accent while having a more feminine voice

Any tips / tutorial recommendations would be appreciated :)

Anyone know the best places to get hair cut in Dublin? Mtf who still needs to boymode and am worried that most barbers/hairdressers will either go fully masc or fem. I've heard QueerHawk is good but I'm not alt so maybe not for me?

Related, I have a (Not awful but not great) recessed hairline, the kind where it's sort of v shaped. Is that going to ruin haircuts that aren't bangs?

Thanks for any help!

hey im 30 MtF, fully adult and self reliant, ill be in dublin from the start of october for a while, and im going to attempt to resupply my sublingual estrogen before i travel to the UK/ back into the shengen.
So i have my Australian doctors notes and medical information, im going to get a blood test first up as ive gone from a pellet to the pellet +sublingual tablets. im kinda seeing that i should just fork the money, set up a gendergp telehealth and give them the fresh blood results and my medical notes from my home GP and they should probably just accept it and hand me some months supply of E.

so

does anyone have any anecdotal info, first hand info?
im obviously going to be blindly fumbling my way into your medical system so any help is appreciated. <3

EDIT: ive just read GenderGP is AIAutomated so id be better off trying with Imago instead?

so it took like two weeks to get a welcome call since they were all booked for a bit then nobody showed up to mine after waiting 40 minutes, yes I checked the timezone and the app should sync it for each user. not very good service for a company taking 500 euro for the year but hopefully they're still operating and I'll get one, uh, eventually, I emailed them so maybe I'll get it rescheduled in less than two weeks. also beware that they analyse your calls with Gemini, unless the disclaimer is wrong and they turn it off

I am a transgender woman living in Cork City and I want to change my name along with my gender.

With my memory of my research into the topic I can do a gender recognition certificate (GRC from this point) to change my gender along with my name. The process (as I understand it) is printing out the GRC and getting a solicitor to sign it along with my information then paying to get it filed in the government archives and I would have a new legal name and gender in the same document. I would then be issued a new birth cert with the correct info.

So as I understand the GRC allows me to change my name a gender the question I have is, can i change my last name too while still being connected to my parents legally? It is worth noting that I want to use the Irish translation and have their blessing to do so, think O'Sullivan to Ó Súilleabháin (not my actual name) so the question is, can i use the GRC to change my legal gender, first and last name while still being connected to my parents? Thanks a ton

I am 20 years old (mtf) I haven’t came out yet to anyone. I don’t necessarily hate my body but I’ve wanted to be a girl and have felt like a girl since I was around 12-13 I have never told anyone before but it’s gotten to the point where I hate hiding this. I just want some advice on maybe eventually coming out to my parents and siblings and also maybe how to get started transitioning.
Thanks for your help :)

I have mine on Tuesday, what are people's experiences/what should o expect?

I've known since 2nd year, I'm now waiting for my leaving cert results to go to college. I've tried coming in out before in 3rd year & I nearly got kicked out. I don't see a future anymore, I've tried attempting before & I might again next week. My only hope is maybe getting diy but I have no idea where to get it, let alone have the funds for it since I can't get a job due to my mental disorders & lack of work experience(skipped ty). I genuinely can't see any future anymore. I've been so desperate but I know it's all futile. If anything I at least want to be remembered not by my dead name but at Violet

I'm sorry there's been so much on my mind I had to vent somewhere.
