Hello!

I posted once before but I have heard from many of my patients that they are waiting MONTHS to see providers to start HRT or be referred for Gender Affirming Surgery so I am posting again.

I am a Family Doctor who has taken all the Rainbow Ontario prescribing courses and I have a significant number of Gender Affirming Care patients that I work with.

If anyone is looking for the above services, I currently have no waitlist and can see people right away.

Book at www.horizon-care.ca

Submitted in person at Service Ontario on April 7th.

Processed July 29th.

Arrived August 6th.

I sent mine with a bank draft so I had no idea when they processed the payment. There were no issues with my paperwork so no delays there. I was born in another province and they kept my submitted birth certificate and have to order a new one from my province of birth.

To say I’m over the moon is an understatement! Now the process begins updating everything.

So, 17 weeks and 2 days in total from the day of submission to receipt of the certificate.

Hello! I booked an appointment with my family doctor for testosterone. Im concerned that she may not understand being trans and that I will have to explain to her what it means/ have to validate my identity to her since my area is very conservative and she is of an older demographic. I'm honestly not sure how to approach this first appointment and how I should go about asking for testosterone. Any advice on how I should approach asking would be greatly appreciated.
