I recently started transitioning and it was pretty overwhelming. As to my knowledge (please let me know if I am wrong) there are few widespread studies about the practical experience of transitioning (including but not exclusive to information about hrt). Right now, for myself, some of the most valuable documentation on what to do is on reddit, specifically discussions in the comments.
Because of this I am proposing a community just for documenting and asking questions about the actual processing of transitioning. I have never made or moderated a community (and would greatly prefer if someone that knows how to do so does as I am more interested helping documentation), as I see the need for having knowledge about transitioning on an open platform.
Here is the community: [email protected]
I would appreciate any thoughts about this and/or help to get such a project going. Especially would appreciate if there is already a community for this on lemmy.
For what it’s worth, /c/AskTransgender exists for asking questions too, and I suspect transition questions are welcome here in /c/Trans as well as places like /c/mtf. My point is that you don’t have to take on creating and moderating a community to help build a knowledge base here in Lemmy, there are people here willing to help. I suspect a lot of us are sensitive to the reliance on wikis on Reddit, for example.
I’m happy to try to help answer questions to the best of my ability, I’m fresh into transition myself, less than 2 years into it, and I tend to be the kind of person who has a million questions myself and I spend a lot of time seeking answers 😅
