Been coming out to my friend group slowly.
Came out to the one friend that I can depend on being sensitive to queer issues first, turns out he's also NB/trans. Tho it seems like I might have been the only one who didn't already know?
Then I came out to my oldest friend and he was way more sensitive to it than I ever imagined, which makes me think that I'm underestimating my friends on this.
After the second friend I've started to feel way more comfortable talking about trans things openly; both to these two friends and to my girlfriend.
On another note, I ended up asking my endo to swap me to estradiol injections. BIG MISTAKE- my estradiol pills cost $30 for 200... 5ml of estradiol cost me 164 usd because IT WASN'T COVERED BY INSURANCE AHHHHH.
The pills would last me about 2 months at 3 pills/day, the injections are gonna last me 6 months at 1 injection every two weeks so it's not terrible but now I have to pray I don't have any bills over $70 in the next 4 days until I get paid.
Fuck.
Also found out one of my cishet friends that had been dating around, has specifically been looking on grindr for trans girls. I really don't know how to feel about this. From another friend, he apparently self-id'd as a chaser. Although this friend is autistic so I'm not entirely sure if he is aware of the full weight of what that means or not.
In regards to your estradiol. Check to see if your pharmacy is trying to give you name brand name over generic for injections. My pharmacy was trying to do this because they didn't carry the specific potency (10mg/mL) in the generic. They attempted to give me the name brand and my insurance didn't cover it. I then asked my endo to prescribe half the dose at the 20mg/mL potency and was then able to get the generic very cheap. Dunno if this would be an option, but it's worth exploring.
OH that's a great idea. I'll definitely try that for next time, unfortunately I already paid for this script ;-;
