I would like some information about how effective it is and how to legally get it.
@ed look towards local community centers for resources and pointers for the path to get things sorted legally
But as someone who has transitioned for years, you can't trust the legal pathways and gatekeepers, I would advise looking into grey market solutions once you do start
@ed they can, when I started i saw a free therapist through my community service -- I didn't find much use with them beyond getting legally greenlit, but that is a common service
