No, and it's harder to find anyway due to a shortage. Pill forms, 1mg of estradiol and 50mg spironolactone twice a day. I said pills anyway, so it's not an issue. There was also a patch but I didn't bother with that.

My parents *try* to be supportive but still rear their ignorance all the time, it's frustrating, I'm a terrible teacher, yet I'm literally the only trans person they know, guess who has to play kindergarten teacher? Me. I like that they listen but it just feels like extra work to get them to accept me.

I don't know, and neither does her family, how long she'll be kept at the mental health place. I think there's a big concern about another suicide attempt if she's released at this time.

Acceptance comes with understanding. Its unfair, but minorities such as yourself tend to have to make people understand. Especially when only .6 percent of the pop is trans, so you have so few of you guys spread out so far. Falls on each of you to help those closest to understand.

Should it be every trans person's responsibility to educate cis people? No, especially because you can look up a wealth information online.
But are they going to educate themselves on their own? No, not usually.

No one cares until they actually meet one or have one they know. Other than that, it's mostly irrelevant to them. So why should they look up things about lifestyles or genders or anything else that doesn't have an impact on their lives? On top of that, you are trying to get people who CAN'T see from the perspective of a trans person to understand that perspective. Most people have a tentative feeling about trans simply because they can't understand it. Cis people are generally locked in a mindset of "well, this is who I am" and questioning something as basic as whether they are a man, or woman, or something else is entirely foreign to them. So if you want them to understand, it is up to you to try and share what that is like. No amount of googling will do that for anyone.

Some questions can be easily answered with a quick google consultation, but I shouldn't have to educate, but if not me, who is going to learn? Maybe cis allies could tell their fellow cis, but still, it just gets tiring.

There arent allies or "fellow cis". We arent grouped by how we are born. Diabetics dont expect anyone but their close family members to know how to use a glucagon kit or how to stab them with needles. Theres no need for everyone to learn even the basics about trans people unless they need to so long as they, out of ignorance, are biased against them. Expecting everyone around you to know about your set of difficulties or challenges is going to do nothing but frustrate you.

A poor example for the point you're trying to make. Most people understand the challenges faced by diabetics, even if only vaguely. Whereas many people don't even accept that being trans is a real thing.Theres no need for everyone to learn even the basics about trans people unless they need to so long as they, out of ignorance, are biased against them.
In the same sense that it isn't necessary for people to know how to add. We're all a lot better off with people having that knowledge.Expecting everyone around you to know about your set of difficulties or challenges is going to do nothing but frustrate you.
The problem of widespread ignorance will never be solved if no one recognises it as a problem.
