I'm from a slightly older generation so no, but rest assured, I went through my own similar periods before I started my transition over a decade ago :) I was close to your age actually.
There is a future, and ten years from now you'll look back and smile :)
NYC is very queer friendly, so is Salem MA
I have a similar mindset with mine. I'm covered in scars from performing (as well as accidents and SH) and always seem to be healing from something.
To me, scars are a symbol of our body's resilience. I try not to let them have power over me by instead viewing them as a symbol of healing. A scar reflects something that our body went through and healed from, and is a symbol of how far we've come since.
I think you'll be fine. I'm covered in scars and epilate no problem, but admittedly they're not huge. FWIW, I find epilators weirdly relaxing but I'm weird.
I had it done in 2019. Very happy I did. I've also been on HRT for over a decade. AMA
Even with shield and blade song, you'd need a 19 base AC
I'm at 10yr. I don't know exactly when it changed, but the 1-2 year mark is when I had the most changes
Honestly, at 10 years, it takes such a long time to get there that I give up half the time
I've done this before. It really depends on how far into transition you are, obviously not recommended.
I'm as terrified of losing access to my healthcare as you are. My plan right now is to try to switch to injections since they're easier to stockpile. I also want to ask my Endo for a double dose, explaining that it's just so I can stockpile.
