    Nah Alberta is definitely the Texas of Canada, haha.

    Bottom surgery is in Montreal, yeah. How long did/do you have to wait to get referred for surgery? (Like, I can’t even see the psychiatrist who refers for bottom surgery for 2+ years because of that clinic’s wait time). Maybe the decade quote is specifically for phallo? I have no idea. Besides my waits to get referred (which are for the local gender clinic, and were given to me by their staff) the surgery referral to surgery waits are just based on what other trans people have told me.

    Top is done here and may be faster than what I said, that’s just an estimate based on what people who started the process a touch before me have said.

      I had to wait until 2 years post starting hrt, then I got referred to whoever in the Edmonton gender clinic refers you to GrS which is the 9 to 12 months thing (GrS has a backlog too but that was counted in it). Too bad phallo takes longer that’s a bummer :(

        I mean, a longer wait time (although perhaps not a decade) works out okay for me, as I’m still not certain what, if any, bottom surgery I want.

        Waiting 3-4+ years for top surgery, however, is unpleasant.
