Hey flamesabers,

thanks for the response & help! Yes, i want to transition so badly since i finally accepted my faith. I've lived this male role for way too long, and i cant stand it anymore. BTT: I was thinking that too, that a doc would be better, because he can check blood, liver and so on before the HRT....but it seems to be a long road with some hurdles.

The video or phone option is a great idea! On the other hand i kind-of like that the therapeut dont has experience with this topic, because i dont have either. Also he might be able to consult that specialist if he needs a second opinion or additional infos...idk. Anyway: tomorrow i'll call the PIA and hopefully i got my first appointment sooner than in Berlin (i heard there are really long waiting lists).

Regarding the payment of it all: it will get paid by Health Insurance, IF i can live in the desired gender for 12-24 months (24/7) without any surgery or hormones. Its called "Alltagstest" (everyday test). I am not 100% sure, maybe you can get the HRT getting started before that test.

Hi again Vinia,

Hopefully you get an appointment setup in the near future.

I think the everyday test used to be a standard requirement in the US, but I've heard it's now being done away with, depending on what state one's living on.  I wouldn't be surprised if the same change is happening in Germany and other European countries.
