I'm a 26-year-old guy thinking about transitioning to female and I'm not quite sure where to start. How do I go about getting estrogen, and how much does it usually cost? Are there things I should be prepared for while going through this process?

ideally an endocrinologist or a gender-affirming clinic, for guidance on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including estrogen; they will assess your overall health, provide personalized advice, and prescribe medication if necessary; costs vary depending on location, insurance, and specific treatments, but expect around $30-100 per month for estrogen therapy; be prepared for regular monitoring, potential side effects, and emotional changes as you begin your transition journey.
