When I needed assistance with transitioning, I decided to turn to my community again, as I no longer trust doctors. I received a binder through G(end)er Swap’s free binder program, which has been a massive weight off my shoulders (no pun intended) whilst I remain on the GIC’s waiting list for top surgery.
A friendly support group chat, with boundaries to avoid burnout, is great for sharing the mental, emotional, and administrative load!
