Exactly, it’s weird being told that I just have to be on hrt for 2-3 years when I’m at 6 years. And like you say, that doesn’t mean the transition is a failure! It does suck but I’m happy I got to get the changes I got.
(Oh and same thing here. Realising that was fun.)
Agreed, and if I may add another, I kinda wish there were more room for depicting more than “not passing --> passing”-narratives. Both with people who choose not to or are unable to pass.
Looks like they have a explicit no-ai policy in the contribute file
Mona is a health app that people trust with sensitive data. The project values contributions that a human wrote, understands, and can explain.
- Vibe-coded PRs will be rejected.
- Write PR/issue descriptions yourself, as AI summaries are genuinely hard to read and review.
- Do not use AI to answer PR comments. You (as a human) must understand the code you wrote enough to answer yourself to our questions.
Thanks and you too 💙
Right now I’m on pills, but just in case they become unavailable I’ve also prepared to switch to injections 🙂
I started with patches but the levels were also a bit sketchy on me for some reason and they constantly became unavailable which was stupid stressful.
I know people it works great on, but my skin don’t absorb it :(
More or less, including a handful of estrogel dispensers that I can’t use and don’t know what to do with + a separate prepper stash, just in case!
The self contradicting madness of nordic trans care is really something 😵💫
There’s a risk they’ll ignore it, but you might be able to find a guide for clinicians on your gender clinic that explains what a referral must include. I’m danish, but that helped my clueless (but friendly) doctor write a proper referral.
A step in the right direction for me has been to block and unsubscribe from anything negative on reddit, and then only use something like redReader which doesnt have the same addictive feed that the official app and website use.
Uggh, those standards are so bad. I hope you are somewhat comfortable with your current setup.
Started by going through the official system, went diy after they went from treating me bad to horrible. And it honestly gave me a lot of confidence to not feel like I depend on those assholes anymore, even if I go back later. It still broke me a bit that I no longer trust doctors.
Maybe you can get a new assessment with a different doctor, if you still want that?
If you can afford it, it sounds like going to a therapist to unravel your feelings and possible trauma could be worth it. A good one will not tell you if you are trans, just help you along the way. If you can’t then some lgbt groups offer help to questioning people too.
You don’t have to rush it just because the vial might expire. Do it on your own time, experiment with other things (thought experiments, clothes…) if jumping to hormones is too much. Remember that it’s not a magic juice that instantly turns you girly, you can always stop if you feel weird on it.
Also, do you trust her this much? I’m a trans woman on DIY but I’m getting mine from a source I’ve seen other buy from and talk good about. You also need to spend some time researching doses and what blood tests to do first too.
Ow I wish you all the best and hope it goes smoothly!
