    It is but… Which province? I help trans people get HRT and I know of/have lists of available doctors who will do it via informed consent in every province.

    I know I’m a random internet stranger so don’t doz yourself here, but if you feel comfortable messaging me I’ll help out if you need.

      I live in New-Brunswick, and there used to be Clinic 554 in Fredericton which did informed consent, general trans healthcare, and abortions, but they closed down due to lack of funding.

      The way it generally works here as per my friends on hormones is you get a letter of recognition from a WPATH-certified mental health professional, and then get a referral to an endocrinologist via your family doctor. Navigating the NB healthcare system sucks for everyone, but trans patients are even more limited.

        Dr. Sara Thomas, Mount Allison University’s gender-affirming care clinic. Is what I have for informed consent in NB.

          I’m glad to hear there’s another avenue for people other than waiting to see an endocrinologist (they have pretty long wait lists here) but from what I can gather you still need a referral from another healthcare professional, contrary to Clinic 554 which did do self-referrals.
