@Tiny_leaf ''Trust how you feel'' is such beautiful and powerful advice

@KaiRoe such good gif selections!

[Tiny_leaf]

@KaiRoe @Jess1-RO thanks.

And it'd be great if there was some more support around social transitioning in gender centres, but that's pretty hard to find offline..

Wow @KaiRoe  the process to get hormones seems quite difficult... do you find that there is also a cost barrier that might be an issue for a lot of people? 

[Olivia_QLDchildrensHospital]

Great idea @Tiny_leaf "See how it feels referring to yourself with different names, pronouns and genders."

I suggest to folks to give a name they want to try when ordering at Boost or a Cafe and see how it feels when they call it out for you

[KaiRoe]

@ecla34 Thankyou!! we love a QE moment 

[Jess1-RO]

@Tiny_leaf this is so powerful: "Sometimes people will try to tell you what you "actually" are, but you know yourself better than anyone. Trust how you feel." Every person is the expert of their own experience This also ties into @Olivia_QLDchildrensHospital's point about being your authentic self  

[KaiRoe]

@recharging_introvert Yeah! i feel like that might also be a barrier when people are transitioning, its awful but unfortunately but being trans does have a financial cost if you want to transition

[Tiny_leaf]

@KaiRoe does Medicare cover any of it?
