Imagine getting both a trans-experienced therapist and a physician who approves you for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), and a few months into it you discover your body can't tolerate it, only the lowest dosage which has little if any effect on your body.
Imagine Spirolactone crashes your body and your metabolism and makes you tired all the time, and Estradiol causes depression, forgetfulness and makes you mentally fuzzy all the time. Imagine there is nothing you can do to change the reality you can't take HRT.
Imagine trying to transition without it, trying to explain to everyone who you are, how you want to live your life, and who you want to be and there's nothing the therapist, the physician and all the medical science can do to help.
Imagine you can't see the changes HRT brings because you can't take it. Imagine everyone else can't see the changes either and won't or can't believe you because there are no changes.
Imagine all you have is who you are now and only the prospect of your surgery someday.
Imagine that's all you had, reality and hope. What do you tell yourself? What would you do?
