Transition Basics: Transition on a Budget

Welcome to the 3rd Transition Basics Workshop: Transition on a Budget!

No matter if your transition is medical, social, legal, or some combination therein, transition can be very expensive. For some of us, certain surgical options can seem completely out of sight. For others, accessing a binder or gender affirming clothing can present a tremendous challenge.

I do not have any silver-bullet solutions to the cost of transition. What I do have is over a decade of experience being poor and trans, and a lot of tips to do transition on a budget.

In this workshop, we will cover:

• Social transition: accessing clothing, gender affirming garments, hair and makeup resources (on a budget)
• Legal transition: name and gender changes (reducing fees)
• Medical transition: strategies for maximizing insurance coverage, strategies for covering what insurance doesn't
• Q&A

Plus, I created a great resource sheet for all attendees.

As with all Transition Basics workshops the Q&A was not recorded due to privacy reasons. However, due to the richness of the Q&A, notes on the Q&A are provided as part of this download.

Please Note: This workshop is pay-what-you-can. I provide Transition Basics on a pay-what-you-can basis as a love offering to my community. If you can pay some amount, please do!!
