Do I HAVE to be professionally diagnosed with dysphoria to get hormones?
>>8291910
No if you can find an informed consent place near you.

Do you have dysphoria? Not that hard to get diagnosed with it if you do.
If you live in America just go to planned Parenthood. Informed consent is comfy
>>8291999
Not all of them have it, but enough do that it's worth checking out.
>>8291999
>> not for long due to orange turd in chief
Depends on where you live.
>>8291910
Yes, you do, since assburger can make you believe you have GID when you don't.
Otherwise, ihp, qhi, adc...
>>8291910
try inhousepharmacy
wouldn't being diagnosed mean its a mental disorder?
>>8295247
Yes, gender dysphoria is a neurological disorder. No one sensible is debating this.

Too much government expenditure. I pay for my own tit skits and blood-work like a real American.
>>8295279
And through your taxes you pay for other people's too.
>>8291999
Yeah, I get my T through PP, they're good if your local one offers HRT. It's so much simpler when all you have to do is a short interview where they make sure you know what you're getting yourself into and sign the consent forms, then you get your blood taken for testing and in about a week, you have your script. No therapy or gatekeeping involved.

>tfw there are tons of PP centers in TX but none of them offer informed consent

Are Plano or Austin close enough?

>>8295369
Wait, Plano and Austin offer it? Last time I checked, it said "services are not yet available."
>>8295374
Well, that page says they began offering it Spring 2017, so it sounds like they just started. I'd call them and see.
>>8295383
Dang. I have some moral hangs ups with PP ( I don't like all the scandals they've been in and I'm a pro-life fag), but honestly they may be my only option. I may just take your advice. Thanks up-to-date anon.

If it helps, abortions really aren't most of what they do. STD testing and birth control are their main thing, and I can't really see how you'd be against that unless you're just hardcore religious.
>>8295450
Obviously the abortion services are only for women but it would be interesting to see what the split is for the rest. How much of the 34% on contraception is birth control given to women vs condoms given to guys, etc.
>>8295497
But women taking condoms is for use by men so why would it matter
>>8295501
Birth control for both men and women have uses without a partner.
Even ignoring that, obviously cancer and STD testing and treatment are for individuals.
I am diagnosed, but I haven't got hormones yet because my doctor is fucking dummmmmb.
>>8295497
I have no clue, but PP gives out a lot of free condoms. They're in baskets in the lobby, they're in every exam room in the back, and they encourage you to take as many as you want. Hell, I saw a couple of hookers come in just to take a big handful each and leave while I was there last time.
