At the point in my transition where I am stable enough job-wise (public servant) to look into getting FFS. I’m aware that the fed government insurance through Canada Life covers a certain amount of gender affirming care, but have yet to try to access this funding. Hoping someone here has experience with the process since this is a pretty large expense and I would hope to get most of it covered

As I stated, I am MtF. I am looking for recommendations for FFS, namely for my hairline and some minor thinning.

Anyone who can recommend good clinics would be very appreciated.

im mtf and im considering a vaginoplasty. however i want a tdick im pretty sure

i figure if i dont like it at least it's way less dysphoric than before and if i wanted it altered its obviously easier for sergeons to take away more than add more back on. im the sorta person that's just gonna haveta get something done to see if i like it or not. i know i want a vaginal opening for sure. and at least a tdick to an extent is halfway between a penis and a clitoris so if i miss my penis a bit i still have something. but i also like seeing my penis as a clitoris so im pretty sure i want one. it feels good whenever i leave the foreskin pulled back it feels more like a clitoris to me for some reason.

I had ma meeting today with dr k at wch for piv and i got rejected for starting hrt to early in life and “things” didn’t have time to get bigger and jow i feel lost he said that i will be able too go somewhere else but i will have to talk to my family doctor to find out the next step

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me from their experience how and where did they purchase their make up from, while they were closeted. There are tonnes of products and colors which is making me really overwhelmed.

I would be really grateful if you can give me the list of things I should buy to experiment make up. Also, how did you end up getting the right foundation color for yourself... Considering myself as closeted and too scared to shop from the store.

Also a lil about me, so any help would be appreciated:

I am still very much closeted from kwc Canada, and I am super scared to admit and come out... Anyway, my family is going on a long vacation which will give me some 3 months of time alone at home to experiment and have more clarity on my situation.

I was thinking of living as a woman at home for this time period and seek more clarity. It's going to be expensive but I am thinking of getting full wardrobe, make up, wigs, and experiment not just living but also potentially take a step outside in real world and see how it feels to be seen and treated as a woman

Hello, my child has recently came out as trans and he wants to get on testosterone. However I’m looking for somewhere that wont do blockers only until an older age because his wrong puberty is basically done. Everything is basically developed, he went through a precocious puberty at 6 or 7 and now he is 14. I’m not a doctor so obviously maybe I’m wrong, but at this point I really doubt blockers will do anything much more than stop cycles. He is having severe mental health episodes from dysphoria and I don’t want to put him through this for much longer. I want somewhere that will be the easiest to go through, preferably near or in Toronto. Thanks all

Hey all!! I just got the call the other day from GRS Montreal to schedule my surgery. I'll be going in for MtF bottom surgery on November 10th. I'm very very excited, especially since this was a few years in the making for me, but what I'm wondering now is what happens next? I remember someone saying that I should get some sort of package in the mail from Montreal with papers and forms related to the upcoming surgery, but I'm wondering what to really expect. Most of the timelines I've been searching for on the subreddit stop as soon as they get the surgery date, which is where I'm at now. Kinda just wondering what to do next. Thanks!

tl;dr : Are there online or in-person resources that essentially cover all the details about FtM transitioning that I would get from speaking to someone at CAMH?

Hey all, first time poster. I feel a bit whiney about this, but I figured I'd go for it anyways. I got a referral to the GIC clinic at CAMH from my doctor. There was the expected 6+ month wait. Hilariously, the trouble started after CAMH reached out. Because basically from that moment they've either been losing my emails or intentionally ghosting me, and rescheduling the appointment with absolutely no warning. Three times, so far. I'm actually livid about it. So now they've sent me a new date and time (didn't even ask me for preferred dates and times, just sent me one date and time and told me to confirm), and I'm just so annoyed at the lack of any kind of care or consideration. I mean I do have a job, and you've assigned me a date in the middle of the workday after cancelling the other dates I agreed to back in early June!

I tried following up by phone. Left 1 voice message. Tried calling a few more times, no answer of course.

Sorry, I know this is whiny because I do technically have an appointment date if I'm willing to beg my boss for the afternoon off. But I just feel, I don't know, kind of disrespected. Which makes me feel so entitled to say. But getting blown off and jerked around doesn't feel great.

The thing is, my doctor is pretty great. He was down to prescribe me T from the jump, but I wanted to talk it through thoroughly with something to ensure I was going in with all eyes open and to also weigh options for top surgery.

I know there are a lot of resources, but that's kind of what the issue's been. It's overwhelming, especially for someone who's more non-binary than fully transitioning to male. I really want a full breakdown of the pros and cons and impacts and timelines and drug interactions etc. etc.

So yeah, are there any recommendations for a resource, be it written or video series, that basically covers what you'd get from a conversation with the CAMH GIC? (minus the diagnosis of course)

Can anyone help me figure out what needle sizes I need for subq injections?

I went off my injections and onto gel for almost 2 years but im switching back to injections for many reasons. Ive picked up the vial and blunt needles but the pharmacy I go to keeps giving me the wrong needles. The first ones I got were too long (about half the length of my finger) and I just picked up shorter ones but I cant take the needles off the syringes so I won't be able to draw up the medication.

I was living in a different town when I was on subq injections and I was just able to buy a box of 100 needles and that was SO easy! If anyone can help me I would be forever grateful 🙏🙏🙏

Edit: I forgot to add im on testosterone cypionate thank you to the person who said I should mention that I wasn't thinking about that when writing the post lol

i have started to feel like i won’t fit in trans spaces or my friend groups anymore after bottom surgery and i dont know why I’ve always wanted to get bottom surgery but i just feel like if i get i wont belong anywhere my friends mostly trans/ queer said i will always be welcome i feel like im going insane

pardon me if this has been asked many times but i have searched and cant seem to find an answer that is helpful to me currently (also, most of the stuff i found was from at least a year ago so i want more current answers)

ive been going to the same GP for like 15+ years, but now that im an adult ive realized that not only does he kind of suck (i feel like he doesnt take my concerns seriously), hes never really been helpful in terms of my mental health nor my transition. i am on T, going through it with foria so im not specifically looking for a doctor that will prescribe me T. hopefully this will broaden my options. i just want a doctor who doesnt suck and that i hate to visit because of that, and wont invalidate me or perform medical malpractice on me lol. i would really really prefer to stay within mississauga. i dont need anyone who specializes in queer healthcare (though thatd be nice) i just need a doctor who will listen to me and actually take my concerns seriously without being transphobic or queerphobic in any way.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! and also maybe a brief rundown on how to switch doctors as ive never had to do that before. would i just call the new clinic to see if theyre taking patients and then tell them i want to move to their practice? do they request my medical records or do i have to tell my old clinic to send them my records?

thanks in advance yall :) i just want to not hate going to the doctor, it gives me so much anxiety and i know a part of that is just the fact that i do not trust my doctor nor feel that he is actually able to help me in any significant way

The reason mine was so quick is due to the expedited form. I submitted it on August 7th online after I submitted my application. One of the accepted reasons to expedite the process is being trans/gender marker change. Although, I did state my other reasons in order to expedite so unsure exactly why I was approved. Nonetheless, it is worth a try for anyone to expedite the process. You’re waiting anyways.

Took me less than a month to receive my paperwork.

^hopefully this link works. It’s the form for the expedited process.

I'm starting up a community project (hopefully non-profit later down the line) that serves the entire GTA and will eventually have a centre in Mississauga. I'm looking for new or lightly used binders, skin tape, shapewear, and any gender-affirming gear.

So far, I have about 9 items, and they are mostly chest binders. If you are looking for a binder, I can also accommodate!

If you have something to donate and/or request, please email me at t4tcollectivesauga@gmail.com or even DM the Instagram t4t_collective! This is the starting stage of this project, so please don't mind the lack of posts haha!

Hello everyone

I 32f and my partner 34mtof came out to me a month ago that they want to transition to a woman. I am happy she has discovered who she is, I see how happy she has been this past month getting to live how she wants. With that being said I was looking for a support group for myself to lean on others who are going through this situation. My plate is already full with or two boys aged 11 and 3 who have ADHD and autism. My partner also had ADHD and I was looking for a space where I can talk, vent, get advice etc. I reached out to pflag London who offers a program but have not recieved a response. I am located in the GTA area. Thank you all in advance for you advice and wisdom.

Does anyone know if working for Canada post gets you the government benefits for gender affirming care?

Not really sure if this is the right place. If not please feel free to remove this. This person has committed actual interference in Canadian federal and provincial levels. Against LGBTQ+ as a whole. Against Canada and supports as well as dismays Trump's 51st state annexment as term of endearment.

Please read and support if you agree with the petition link here https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Sign/e-7531

I wish to immigrate to Canada. I have sexual orientation, and in the Middle East we cannot say this, so I hope someone can help me, and I will be grateful to them for the rest of my life.

i just switched to injections but I dont like the dosage and time frame my dr put me on, so i wanna start doing one injection of estradiol valerate (4mg) every 5 days instead of 5mg every 7. I dont like the initial crash from switching and im not looking forward to the the smaller crashes that are to be experienced around injection time. I did the math and I have enough estrogen to do that but not enough needles to make that change.

I know its gonna be a major hassle tryna change this with my endo especially since she only responds to one message a day on week days. and I refuse to have my medications mess with my mental health as much as it sounds like they can on my current regimine. My motivation has just finally started coming back, im starting to feel unstuck in life for once and I cant have my estrogen levels affecting alla that. especially not with my winter depression and all. cant have my estrogen making that worse too. 3 months will take me to or into november right around when my seasonal depression starts to get far worse normally.
