Trans healthcare in this country is a fucking joke.
You know. I had a meeting with a doctor to start GHAT back in October 18th.
It’s been about a month since then and I still haven’t started because
1.) my insurance company didn’t approve the first prescription
2.) After they didn’t approve of it, my doctor had to change it to the one that my insurance company did cover. (She did that no problem.)
3.) Once she did that, my insurance company gave the okay, and you’d think that would be enough but, no wait! There’s more.
Turns out the pharmacy has to preorder the medication, and when they tried to, it was on back order until January :D
And when I called to ask what the fuck was going on (because, mind you, their phone lines are shit and you can’t understand a god damn thing people are saying on the phone) they told me that the medication WASNT APPROVED. EVEN THOUGH SOMEONE ELSE SAID IT WAS AND IT WAS ON BACK ORDER?
I’m so confused.
The woman on the phone who left me the message said I had the option of going to a difference pharmacy to see if they have my medication in stock, and while I don’t fault her for the suggestion, the reason why I use them as my pharmacy is because I am agoraphobic.
If it were as simple as leaving my town to find a better pharmacy, i would do it in a heartbeat. But alas, that’s not how my brain works.
I just want to get my hormones man. God damn. Fuck people who made testosterone a schedule III drug. And fuck people who made it difficult for Medicaid users to get medication in the first place.
This country really hates the low-income disabled queer community and it fucking shows.
