  • This community is still pretty small, and I’m not sure you’ll find anyone who’s used Folx. I used Plume for a while (same basic thing), and it was a good experience. They prescribed me hormones after one appointment, which took like two weeks to get. They did regular labs every three months. It was sort of expensive, but very much worth it to me because transitioning made my life so, so much better. Recently, I switched to a more local provider who is cheaper and closer, but honestly lower quality. I know what I need at this point though, so it doesn’t matter.

    Also, the reality is that doctors are not knowledgeable and do not have your best interests at heart. You need to do your own research, no matter who you go with. Luckily, transfemminine hrt isn’t that complicated or dangerous, and you really don’t need to be some sort of super expert to understand it. The diyhrt wiki is a good place to start: https://diyhrt.wiki/


  • I have this hazy, memory from when I was about 8. I was exploring a peat bog, which was fun because everything was soft and squishy and I could just run around. I saw some weird looking bushes, and decided to go check them out. But, as I ran up, it turned out there were growing over this sort of wet hole, where maybe there was a spring or something. I suddenly fell about 8 feet, and was in this mud pit slowly sinking. Luckily, I managed to grab some of those bushes I’d seen, and pull myself out. But it was very hard, because the mud was pulling me down like quicksand. Eventually, I crawled back out on the bog, covered in mud.

    Nobody I was with remembers this, and honestly it might not be real. Childhood experiences are super weird.
