Truth is madaming kasaling factors dito and sa Philippines, mejo mahirap sya i-tackle kasi malalim ang usapin ng HRT sa atin.
Nonetheless, ang HRT naman is a choice, if of ANY legal age ka na, you may choose from many options naman. However, if underage, best to consult parin your parents or guardians. If hindi ka pa openly out as a trans sa household nyo, mejo mahirap magundergo ng changes because some HRT changes may be permanent, especially on your reproductive system.
Sa western countries kung saan may options are trans even during adolescence usually they can get treated dun but UNDER CONSENT OF LEGAL GUARDIAN & SUPERVISION of a medical professional. If done properly, maganda ang effects kasi nagiging affirming yung physical characteristics nila on their identity.
The best thing to consider in transitioning in trans Pinay youth siguro are the following:
1. Accessibility sa HRT meds.
2. Affordability ng HRT meds.
3. Acceptability ng parents/guardians or family. Remember, it is always still the best if they support, tolerate and accept you esp. if under ka pa sa care nila and not yet independent.
4. Support groups. Today, madami na tayong support groups kahit sa social media, local organizations and even the medical societies (slowly nga lang) opening to transgender concerns.
Author's note for the very young: Start your HRT the right way. Consider mo yung mga factors above and make a long term plan. HRT is a big leap into transitioning. Di pwedeng pabago bago or hindi sure.
Authors note for the late HRT use: Sa mga older naman, let us not forget to consider our pre-existing conditions din naman and also consider HRT requires a change in lifestyle. Di naman need maging super healthy lifestyle, pero your body is still "mortal" may mga bisyong need i-give up to ensure that safe and best results.
