I highly recommend finding a therapist in the normal manner and then confirming that they offer telehealth (I suspect most do), as opposed to BetterHelp and all those types of services. I have a great local therapist but if I’m ever not up to or can’t come in, we just hop on a video call. It’s good to have the option of going in person, even if you don’t think you’re there yet.
I feel so lucky my parents went with Michigan instead of Tennessee (family in both)… It has been pretty much painless to get on HRT, change all my names, change my gender marker even on my birth certificate, etc. All as an adult though. So far I’ve never had issues in the bathrooms, though I’m almost never in rural areas, that could be a very different story.
