Hey you. Yes, you reading this. You are cute!

  • Coming up on 2 years this summer, they're still a cone ;v;

    Tho i'm taking only E and T blockers, not progesterone too, and I have heard that prog fills tits out

  • You mean MDMA? qwq

  • Sure you can dm me, I just have a terrible track record of not staying in contact with any of my friends qwq (also I'll probably be moving to Germany soon)

    Buying hormones is cheap, 7,55€ per bottle/package/whatever you have. Technically, if you have medication prescribed then you get them for free, just with a general fee. There are also systems tho that you can use to get around paying that too. The expensive thing is really getting a quick doctors appointment. If you go to a private doctor for everything then you can expect a 100-250€ bill ;-;

    If you have a stockpile of HRT that lasts you for 4 months then you are probably good, considering that, if you're fast, going from having no diagnosis to having estrogen in half a year. If not then you can always just DIY until you've got the prescription. Also, I think as long as you have some sort of F64 then you should be fine regardless.

    For where you should move to, I would recommend a smaller city around Vienna that is easily accessible with public transport. If you wanna learn German too then going to the Graz area is a bad idea because of the accent there qwq

  • Austrian here, coming here is a good idea :D

    If it's about continuing from DIY then you'd need to get it prescribed, but getting to HRT through official means really isn't too big of a deal, especially if you don't have to jump through hoops like "too depressed, other undiagnosed and untreated mental health issues, former wrong diagnoses, ..." that I had to go through.

    I was at Courage Vienna (courage-beratung.at) for psychological counseling and they helped so much with everything.

    For HRT you'll need a few, what we call "stellungsnahmen". Basically just from different people a paper saying " yes, you're trans and yes, you should get HTR". You'll need that from

    • a psychologist (with Transgender diagnosis)
    • a therapist (courage can do that)
    • a psychiatrist (usually with another diagnosis)

    With all of that, you can get an appointment at an endocrinologist and get HRT.

    Keep in mind tho, while there is free healthcare in Austria, there are also private doctors that you have to pay, but in return you get way shorter waiting times. You can also send the bill to your health insurance and get some of the cost back.

    If it's about continuing from an existing prescription then it should be as easy as sending your papers to your health insurance, but i'm not too sure how exactly what they need and if you need to do more...

  • I cases like this i'm happy that SoundCloud has ads. If I would have listened to an emotional song now instead of an ad for grillers, I probably would have started crying in a train ;v;

  • I just hate that this meme is how all the people should act who say that being LGBTQIA+ is a disease. But nope, it's discrimination for us instead.

  • Jump
  • Back in the day I've always just identified more as homoflexible in that regard. Like yea physically I more tend towards feminine people but I am flexible enough to have a boyfriend now.

    I think to actually find what label you're comfortable with, or just to accept to ignore labels, you kinda have to try around. For me, i'm at a point where I'd consider myself just Bisexual since in my experience there are reasons both for and against someone based on their gender (or lack there of).

  • I rarely get envy just because of how happy I am with myself but man, I have never found a dress that would me even remotely as well as this does you ;-;

  • I've been doing my fem voice for over a year at this point and for me, while I don't have to train anything technical, I do still struggle at times.

    The biggest issue is that talking is a good bit more straining than before and I so always think about it a little when talking, especially when i'm in a meeting or something. It's always just a thing I look out for and I wanna train myself to stop looking out for it. And when I wanna stop thinking about it and do my old masc voice, I notice that it's even more straining and basically not possible anymore.

    I guess i'm just training consistency at my point. Never had that feeling of it just feeling like it's my regular voice tbh...

  • Nah I wanna be a tower so that I can do maximal damage with every breakdown and collapse I have :3

  • No they aren't. Most of my colleagues are really sweet and I'm also liked by pretty much everyone at the workplace. If it would be a thing if disrespect then I could handle it.

  • That would make sense if people would misgender me on purpose, but that's just not the case. Some people even correct themselves and say sorry, tho even that never used to happen in the past.... And a few times it's not even a thing of them having to get used to me being trans now since they haven't known be before.

    It just is such an obvious punch to the face of "no matter what you think, you don't pass".

  • Trans @lemmy.blahaj.zone

    I hate being trans

  • Oh my god no, I mean social media xD

  • Serious question, why the [CW: Assumes Viewer is Trans] tag in the title? Like I get having some CW or TW but I'd assume that on a SM site specifically for trans/queer people (blahaj Lemmy), in the page "Trans memes", is pretty much the place to put trans POV posts...

  • I'm having a rough time with my dad too about me being trans. Not gonna go much into detail but I do have an interesting observation.

    ...and said, that I can take as much money as I need from them if I just come back and then started crying.

    My dad did somethig very similar. I sort of had to spill the beans about me getting bottom surgery and, among other things, he wanted to bribe me with money to not do it. Literally "I'd pay money for you to not do it. How much do you want?"

    Why do they think that throwing money at the issues magically solves it? I'm at a point where it feels less like concern (like my dad always says) and more like them going as far as to pay just for me/us to stay in misery.

    The entire discussion about trans people should stop at "I'm happier this way"

  • Leave me and my GamerSupps alone ;-;

  • I got adhd meds pretty much the same time as estrogen. get ADHD meds, seriously. There are literally days where I take Ritalin and life just suddenly becomes so livable, I can't even describe it

  • Trans @lemmy.blahaj.zone

    Complicated relationships with family members

  • Holy hell this is interesting and i'd absolutely love to see where this goes.

    Speaking of my experience with University Clinics, people there regularly conduct studies (for example the Medic University Vienna, linked to the Vienna AKH (general hospital)). Also if this does get into actual testing then I'd love to be a test subject too :D (didn't have surgery get tho)
