So, I live in the UK and I'm on some probably endless waiting list to start talking to people about things, but I am also financially privileged and if I can use that to expedite my process in some way, that would improve my quality of life tenfold.

My cry for help, is, what can I do privately? How do I do it safely? Are there any "official" private sources for anything?

I am interested in UK centric advice for (but not limited to):

voice feminisation
HRT in an environment where I can regularly have someone with degrees in this shit tell me that my body is doing the right things
related to the above, fertility support (in the scenario I want to have kids biologically)
diagnosis of gender dysphoria
any other "superficial" feminzation
I don't want to sexually transition, I'm keeping the tool

Thanks in advance, blahaj lemmy

I've been using gender GP for a year now. It costs a bit to get started but it's fairly quick and they have options for private blood tests and the like. I get my prescription from them and take it to boots to get it fulfilled. I've had no issues with them so far.

Beehaw is having a rough time so I'm on here now. Thank you so much for the gendergp recommendation, wow, this is incredible. I don't know how I didn't find this in my search
