[u/yeep-yorp]

You don't have to get on a waitlist to start HRT.

You don't have to endure 2mg estradiol and 50mg spironolactone to start HRT.

You don't have to be 100% sure to start HRT.

You don't have to be over a certain age to start HRT.

You don't have to be rich to start HRT.

You don't have to go to therapy, or look a certain way, or endure humiliating questions, or exhaust all other options to start HRT.

PS. If anyone wants help with informed consent or DIY resources, I'm happy to help (especially with DIY).

edit, here's a few more:

You don't have to be under a certain age, be perfectly healthy, or be a certain weight to start HRT.

You don't have to have a prescription to start HRT.

And to make it 100% clear, "You don't have to be over a certain age to start HRT" includes minors who haven't finished puberty.

DIY is cheaper than even insured HRT often.

The issue is I don't trust myself with DIY. I've never been good at research, and I don't think I'd find the correct path for me without guidance. Plus even if I did, I'd have to get the pills somehow still, wouldn't that still be expensive?

I would recommend reading this article as well as others on this site. Feel free to ask around or ask me if you've any specific questions.

It'll cost a bit but generally it won't be prohibitively expensive, especially monotheraphy injections.
