I've heard about Plume, but I've been getting my hormones through Kind Clinic, which is essentially the same thing but for Texans.

[@KawaiiTea]

That's awesome. I'm glad there are more programs to help trans people.

[@treyskatenation]

Thank uuu

[@TennebrumReloaded]

Oh shit, I live in Texas! I'll be sure to check it out.

[@abissaimontescruz4964]

I’m so happy I found this video. It helped me a lot. I just schedule my appointment and can’t wait to start my journey. Thank you so much 💞

[@KawaiiTea]

I'm really happy to hear it. I hope everything goes awesome for you!!!

[@lonelycrescendo]

This video is so helpful, thank you !

[@KawaiiTea]

No problem. Glad it can help.

[@treyskatenation]

You are an angel.. thank you for your help!!!

[@KawaiiTea]

You are very welcome. I just wanted to make sure everyone gets the help that they need

[@notarealAlbanian]

thanks for making this video! it's very helpful even though i wont be able to use this for a long time

[@KawaiiTea]

Ur very welcome. If u ever need any help I'm always available.

[@klcameron709]

Thank you so much for this video. I needed a direction, Thank you

[@KawaiiTea]

No problem. I am thinking of doing more videos about the transitioning progress but until then if u have questions let me know.

[@uramisugi]

pre-T trans guy here who was considering using folx before the new and unnecessary price changes gave me a headache LMFAO this alternative information is extremely appreciated!!

[@KawaiiTea]

No problem 💖 glad it could help

[@ReiLyfe]

I’ve never heard of plume at all TBH but for the longest of time I had to do some form of 3rd Party between job loss, homelessness, and even when I was in the Army (self explainable-refer to Bush JRs Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Policies). Gate keeping was a big issue with me being able to receive HRT in the South with the majority being super religious wasting your time and money with low key tryna make you cis. Now I get my HRT thru Planned Parenthood I’m not sure which I pay more for but it seems like Plume would be even cheaper.

[@KawaiiTea]

I highly recommend it. Zero gatekeeping since most of the doctors r trans. I literally got my hormones the day after my appointment.

[@Moonsick.Morgan]

I'm from the UK, so I don't know if this'll apply to me. But thank you for this anyway, because others in the US could really use this! :3

[@KawaiiTea]

I'm not sure what the u.k. has but I hope it's not too bad over there for trans people

[@ladyboywonder9139]

I’m in Germany . How was your experience so far ? Any luck?

[@EllBell-wj1ye]

Thank you for this. My egg cracked about 10 months ago, but I've kinda been avoiding looking in to how to get HRT because I was afraid of how much it would cost. But this has shown me it can be very reasonable. I don't think I can afford it just yet, but hopefully it won't be too long before I can. And when I do, I'll be checking out Plume first

[@KawaiiTea]

Well I'm glad it helped someone. It's really convenient that it also includes blood work.

[@katieuchiha]

I've been stuck for 9 years and I can't afford any hrt. Pretty much close to the breaking point.. all these states in America is starting to ban healthcare. I can't get on HRT through medicaid in Florida. It's excruciating. not only that, but I have unsupportive parents which makes it harder. 99$ a month on no income, especially when you can't work because of the hyperactivity is like a million dollars a month. It's just to much. 😢 I can't afford 3,000$ either. I can't continue living life like this. I'm always in dread and feeling cursed. It's awful. Thanks for the wonderful video.

[@KawaiiTea]

I'm sorry for the late response. There are various organizations and groups that can help u try to get hrt if u can reach out to them. www.pointofpride.org/hrt-access-fund Here is one that u can check out that says they can give ur first year free. Hope it helps.

[@katieuchiha]

@@KawaiiTea thank you so much. I'm going to give them a call.

[@asphodel9749]

is this a place to start? or should i look into other things? my therapist isnt helping me too much figure this stuff out and i have been clueless for the last year

[@KawaiiTea]

If you don't have insurance, this is a wonderful place to start. Absolutely no gatekeeping and there are doctors to explain and guide you the whole way. I cant express how great this really is.

[@thunderexploits260]

I wish hrt was free and w/o parental consent :(

[@KawaiiTea]

I know. When u get a bit older it becomes easier to get but if your parents don't agree I hate that they can prevent it.

[@AttackOnTitanlover1999]

Hello it’s been a while since we talk it’s OK if you don’t remember me I don’t really expect you to reply to me but I want to thank you for helping me to find out what Plume on it for almost a year now and everything is going great

[@KawaiiTea]

Hello. Been gone for a bit but starting to come back. Glad plume is working out for you. I am still using it and everything is super easy to change medications and get blood work.

[@cyberatomica367]

Also in more conservative states its hard.

[@KawaiiTea]

I am in Oklahoma which is really conservative. The most important part of coming out in one of these states is that you either have a really good support group or honestly I would just move to a different state when possible. At least during this lifetime I have a feeling the conservative states aren't going to change. I still see people with Trump flags on their trucks riding throughout town..... T_T

[@artbyuniverse02]

FOLX is $195.83 a month with meds. How does Plume compare?

[@artbyuniverse02]

I also don't have a Bank account so no Credit or Debit card. Is that necessary??

[@KawaiiTea]

Sorry for extremely late response. I think my meds don't equal the $95 more that Folx costs so I think plume is still usually cheaper

[@beingme2345]

I just watched your Plume vid I made a website that lets you create a wishlist and add hormones and medical care from GenderGP. You can then use your community to help fund your transition. Is this something you would use? Would you be open to reviewing our website?

[@KawaiiTea]

Hello. Sorry I just now am responding to your comment. Been on a hiatus for a bit. But if u are still interested I wouldn't mind checking out your site.

[@beingme2345]

@@KawaiiTea Hey welcome back. The website is called Blessa - a platform that enables creators to receive gifts from their community, without exposing their address. Instead of sending the purchased item directly to you, Blessa sends you the money from the purchase, so you can choose how you want to use it. So, if someone buys you a $10 item, you receive the full $10. Since Blessa sends you the money directly, you can add items from any source, including hormones.

[@beingme2345]

@@KawaiiTea We have some trans users using Blessa to fundraise. I just followed you on Twitter and IG. Since, I can't drop links here, can I message you there?

[@LunaFreya64]

I want to try this but I know they require some kind of ID and I don't have a drivers license or anything, what do they accept for that?

[@KawaiiTea]

I think u do need to have some sort of legal ID to show ur age. Also might need it when u get lab work too.

[@KawaiiTea]

If u have a source of income u could get an ID that's not a license until u get a driver's license if that's what u r doing.

[@LunaFreya64]

@@KawaiiTea ah okay, thank you. I am working on getting my license so I think I'll just have to wait until I get that. Thanks for responding!

[@cadencemadsen6619]

What about blood work ?

[@KawaiiTea]

U schedule an appointment every 3 months with quest labs and it's completely free and they guide u thru it. Really simple

[@Anne-eq4zx]

how to get hrt here in the netherlands without insurance and prescription?

[@KawaiiTea]

I'm sorry but I only really know how in the u.s. there are ways I'm just not allowed to mention them if you get what I mean.

[@ladyboywonder9139]

Please let me know if you find out I’m in Germany

[@scottmoody7052]

How did you get it from a 3rd party?

[@KawaiiTea]

What do u mean third party? U mean like diy?

[@bradl.602]

Huh, I always thought the way without health insurance was _[REDACTED]_ For legal reasons anything I say, as an actual pharmacy technician, that suggests non-law conforming behavior is completely satirical. ... Now, for your off-record feM&Ms, atomic minties, and other goodies; see me on the corner by the liquor store with the broken light an hour after I close.

[@KawaiiTea]

Lol I probably started with the method you chose not to reveal. But plume was my first legit, non-DIY method of getting them.

[@user-qw3px3yp9m]

is the appointment irl or on phone

[@KawaiiTea]

It's actually a video call thru computer.

[@LieseFury]

If I can't get health insurance, I sure as hell cannot afford a $99 monthly subscription that doesn't even cover medication costs. Cool ad.

[@KawaiiTea]

@Starbork thx 💖

[@KawaiiTea]

The thing with health insurance is that it is usually over $99 when it's not provided by the business. And then u have to pay for a gender therapist and that's where gatekeeping comes in. Not to mention plume includes blood work so not paying for that and therapist appointment can save u a lot.

[@evenaxin3628]

This service sounds amazing and if I could afford it I would almost certainly start, but either way trans people are notoriously underemployed. I hoped it would be something that could be used while on social insurance to get past the gatekeeping. I understand that the problem isn't with Plume or Kawaí Tea, but the point is it's still inaccessible to a lot of the people who need it.

[@Gmill3r]

$99 a month is nothing…
