Um, but I think that people who are making these decisions uh clearly have a real passion t for wanting to do this and it's about uh empowering yourself with the most accurate information that you can um because we know that we make better decisions when we've got all the available information in front of us.
Yeah, well I think you've got uh well, individual counsellors, so you've got people like Grace and myself.
Um
other people in the LGBTI sector, uh transgender Vic, um and I also think, you know, in the IVF and um, you know, gynecologists and just talking to everybody.
As many people as you can to get this information.
So I think there are some terrific services around.
Yeah, absolutely.
And um and I've worked with some people who have been reluctant to uh seek out some medical opinion exactly for that reason, Nat.
And uh and as Grace beautifully said at the start, it's just that r even that how you made to feel alienated right from the get go, actually just walking in.
to a place um can be paralysing for many people.
Just can't get there.
And um and we know that there's so many um aspects of health that do need to be attended to, but if you uh feel so
um, you know, disempowered by the process, you're just not gonna get there and unfortunately some people can neglect their important health because of it.
Mm.
I think that even in the lead up to it, Nat, it might be worth talking to someone about that.
Um, you know, uh seeing a counselor, therapist just to run through some things and to feel more comfortable, even just work shopping with friends or a counsellor.
what language will be comfortable for you to use, you know, how do you sort of talk to the healthcare professionals about that?
Um r writing a list of questions to take in with you uh so you feel a bit more empowered in the process.
And I mean asking if you can bring a support person with you as well I think's quite important to help you feel more comfortable going through these things where you fight might be feeling anxious, nervous.
Like I said earlier, even just getting there is difficult.
