I STARTED TESTOSTERONE // 2ND PRIVATE GENDER CONSULTATION [UK FtM TRANSGENDER]

[@mioprytzo2790]

I'm also trans ftm in Glasgow, really appreciate these videos and the information you provide. I'm currently on a 16 month waiting list for Sandyford and feeling a bit hopeless. Glad to see you got hormones in the end :)

[@EthanWilsonUK]

Hey! I am so pleased you find my videos helpful - really cannot wait to get back into uploading. Sorry you are stuck in a long wait but it will all be worth it. Star strong friend.

[@mioprytzo2790]

@@EthanWilsonUK Thank you! Look forward to seeing new vids from you.

[@katherinedrover7]

Congrats Ethan, this is really awesome! You do look a lot happier already and your facial expression at 0:21 made me a bit happier too. Have a good start into third year

[@EthanWilsonUK]

Thank you! I feel like this could be a really great year ahead, it's certainly started out strong!!

[@JaysJourney]

*Congrats* on starting T man! You seem so much happier, really happy for you man.☺️💙

[@EthanWilsonUK]

Thanks Jaydn, the past 11 days have felt unreal!

[@codydaly5234]

I have my first ever appointment with dr myskow tomorrow!!!!! I'm so unbelievably nervous and excited

[@EthanWilsonUK]

Hope your appointment went well Cody!

[@stefaniesioux8274]

At 2.23 when the Scottish just slips out and you said “hink” instead of “think”. Been there tbh.

[@nickbrown969]

CONGRATULATIONS. Buggle in!

Hi, I'm a 17 years old MtF and I'm currently on the waiting list for YourGP. I've heard that the waiting list is currently around an 8 month wait and I've been on the list for nearly 2 months now. I joined the waiting list through an email where I gave them my name, phone number and date of birth. They then got back to me through email confirming that I have been added. Should I be expecting any phone calls from them at any times BEFORE they call me for booking and paying for an appointment at the top of the waiting list or will they only contact me at that time when it's my turn?

[@BlytheWorld1972]

I seen her when she was NHS .. what did you think about Dr Myskow ? i thought she was really nice .

[@EthanWilsonUK]

I loved how supportive she was and openly receptive to having discussions around my questions and concerns about sorting things. Definitely felt in control of guiding my preferred direction when it came to the like of injection vs gel T for instance. There was never a pressure for one over the other. It felt like we worked together on planning my care.

[@samthescotsman]

hi. i have my first appointment at yourgp in 2 weeks, it took 3 or 4 months as dr myskow left. how long did it take inbetween your appointments? i booked the appointment 3 or 4 months ago and i need t desperatly. i live in aberdeen so have to drive down and im in a powerchair and very ill so it will be very hard

[@EthanWilsonUK]

I was always able to arrange appointments quite quickly. My personal timeframe won't be an accurate reflection as I had a mix of private and NHS supported care happening in tandem that pushed a few months between appointments. If I had gone straight for a private 2nd appointment to see psychiatry - I was offered one within a fortnight of my initial appointment.

[@tayloravery9875]

Hey man! I know I’m 2 years behind here, but I’ve got a consultation at YourGP in Edinburgh in a few weeks! What was your timescale from appointment 1 to getting T? I know yours was maybe a bit longer because of the bloods! Also, what kind of questions do they ask? Super anxious!

[@tayloravery9875]

Also, I’m not the fittest dude in the world - does weight play a part in starting T?

[@EthanWilsonUK]

Hey. My first appointment was in the May, my second in September when I had my first shot of T. Between those you need to see a psych for second opinion and have bloods done. The time it all takes depends when appointments are available that you can go to tbh. The first appointment we spoke about my background, medical history, and things around why I felt the way I did that led me to going etc. We also spoke about what my hopes and such were for going forward in transition and what I’d want out of it medically. That kind of thing. Weight and BMI does play a part in things particularly for top surgery but I wasn’t in great shape when I started T. I think my BMI was around 37.

[@ismaila3972]

how much was the second consultation (same as first one?) and are hormones reasonably affordable? on a 2 year waiting list for sandyford :\

[@EthanWilsonUK]

Consultations are a fixed fee depending on length, so it will only vary if it is a 30min or hour one. Can vary slightly depending who the appointment is to see but not by much. Affordability of hormones depends which would be prescribed. Happy to talk more detailed about my experience to help, if you want to message me through my FB page or Instagram.

[@elcharlzo1627]

Awesome man!

[@lucashulland4437]

How much do you pay for your prescription?

[@EthanWilsonUK]

When I was receiving care privately, I paid approximately £20 for the prescription, for 4 vials of sustanon.

[@rosemarshall2690]

What did they have to take the blood tests for? I'm trans and I really want to transition so these videos are really helpful ☺️

[@rosemarshall2690]

Just realised you have a video about it 😝

[@EthanWilsonUK]

No worries. Glad you find my content helpful that's why I share my transition. Happy to help whenever I can if you've any questions.

[@jesuitvampirewhoreoncrack7539]

I really am not trying to be offensive but what is the trans definition of "man"?? Because I just define it as "an adult male human" it's just a descriptive term. It's not a comment on someone's character or feelings etc That stuff is just your individual personality, being a woman just means your a female human and a man is just a male human. Just like a stallion is a "male horse".. So what do you define it as? Is it someone that follows masculine gender roles? Or is it literally just anyone that says they are a man?

[@jesuitvampirewhoreoncrack7539]

Twenty Øne Phandøms "man" is an adult male human being.

[@jesuitvampirewhoreoncrack7539]

Twenty Øne Phandøms that's not a definition though, you can't definie a word with itself...

[@jesuitvampirewhoreoncrack7539]

Twenty Øne Phandøms the definition of the word "man" is an adult male human being. . Much like the definition of the word stallion is an adult male horse.. Things like social ideas of masculinity aren't the criteria for being a man they are just social norms... Again I will ask you who you define the word "man"? Because if it's just "anyone who identifys as a man" then you ARE defining the word with itself which I think you realise is ridiculous

[@jesuitvampirewhoreoncrack7539]

Twenty Øne Phandøms it causes you to feel terrible because you wish you were the opposite gender.... You brain isn't male, theres just as much difference between a pre t ftm brain and a male brain as there is between a male and female brain.. If you had a male brain it literally wouldn't even fit in your skull

[@jesuitvampirewhoreoncrack7539]

Twenty Øne Phandøms you're ignorant

[@hallwnby]

How old are you in this video

[@EthanWilsonUK]

I was 27.

[@yourguyemory465]

Hi Ethan! I've been watching your videos for a long time and I'm so excited you started T!! I can't wait to see your changes. I just created a channel with my girlfriend where I'm going to post videos about being trans as well. You can check it out if you want!

[@EthanWilsonUK]

Thank you! That means a lot. Best of luck with your channel 💙👌

[@jaideath9785]

woohoo! :)
