Most tablets can be used sublingually as long as they don't have a hard shell on the outside. You can dissolve them under your tongue, under your lip, or in your cheek. Personally I like to keep them behind my bottom lip.

I was able to do it. Since sublingual has a fast half life you'll need to spread the doses throughout the day as many times as you can. For me the bare minimum was 1mg every six hours for a total of 4mg each day though my body is pretty sensitive to estradiol overall. (The last pill I'd take directly before bed so I'd be sleeping more than 6 hours)

I do think it helps to start off slow and ramp things up over time so that your body adapts but that is anecdotal on my end and mostly theory on the research side. Also if you're able to get injections or tolerate an androgen suppressor it's much easier than doing sublingual 4 times a day

You too!!!

Y'all are the best <3

That might be what the guidelines say, but it's not the experience of any trans British person is or has been and not what the people in charge of the British government or healthcare say. Here's a short video explaining in detail how the British government fails trans people

If you have insurance now, it might cover bottom surgery. This site has a pretty comprehensive list, but if it's not listed there it's worth googling " trans healthcare" and seeing what comes up. You'll likely need two letters of support in order to receive coverage: one from your hrt provider and one from a mental health provider.

Though not completely up to date, this site can help you find GRS surgeons that take insurance by area
