The cost of transitioning
Comments (1) Lets look at dollars and cents…
- $45/month for hormones (assuming I stay on a similarly good insurance plan)
- May go up to $60/month if/when I go on progesterone
- TOTAL COST: Somewhere around $650 so far…going off for a while this summer makes calculating the exact amount a little difficult…probably somewhere around $30,000 over the rest of my life (making a lot of assumptions, including that the cost of drugs will never go up or down)
- $1,000+ for facial hair removal, so far.
- I need to go back and do some more touch-ups, each one running an additional $100 per session
- $4,390 for body hair removal, including chest and torso, arms, and legs
- Like facial hair, I’ll probably need to do additional touch-ups at some point, each running hundreds of dollars
- This also doesn’t include my back, neck, or shoulders, all areas I may want to do someday
- Around $45/month for therapy
- I’m counting this as an indispensable part of the transition, and once I use up my insurance-alloted number of sessions it’ll go up from $15 out-of-pocket per session to the full $90 (unless I can talk my therapist down from there…)
- TOTAL COST: Somewhere around $750 so far
- At least $6,700 spent so far
- More than my rent for a year
- More than my car is worth
- More than I spent going to Paris twice last year to visit G
