The experience was so smooth and easy. I was confident in my choice to seek transition, and I felt like the clinician trusted me to have made that choice for myself. That’s a refreshing change from the norm for gender-affirming care!
As someone who struggled with services for my transition while I was active duty army, getting medications, referrals and such took a great amount of time. Finding FOLX online and being with FOLX for nearly two years, I want to help spread awareness that FOLX is easily accessible and the services offered are top tier for everyone including service members. One will not go through and struggle with misgendering when with FOLX.
Being a FOLX member has greatly changed my life for the better. The further I get into my transition, the happier and healthier I am. I realized that I was trans and needed to medically transition when I was around 12. I waited until I was 19 to seek gender-affirming care. FOLX was the best option for me because of its low price and ease of access. Joining it has been one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I appreciate the efficiency and ease. No waiting three to six months for an appointment, no waiting weeks to hear back from someone when you email or message, no weird site layout that’s nearly impossible to understand. It’s an extremely intuitive and fast-acting platform that’s made medical stuff miles easier for me.
I'm less than 3 months into transitioning, I just turned 40 and I feel like I'm living, truly living, for the first time in my life. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for FOLX.
I want to share my story that it is never too late for someone to start their transition. I want to talk about the importance of being a visible transgender teacher for my students and the community. They can see that transgender adults exist and that we as transgender adults can lead happy, healthy lives. Don't be afraid to become who you truly are. There is a large community here to support you.
Despite Florida being a nightmare with a physical form, FOLX still made getting care easy. Bonus - the staff are fantastic, I've not had a less than great interaction with anyone here, community included.
After watching many people on the internet share their stories about their transition, I gained the courage to come out to myself as transgender, a part of myself once shamefully buried. From that point, I knew hormone therapy was the only path towards a happy future. I was drawn to FOLX because of its emphasis on facilitating the queer and trans community.
