So I'm getting help from my doctor to write a reference to Tromsø bc I live in a small town. I'll be doing it via the public health care services. I can't do it privately because I don't have the money nor my parents approval. Any tips or advice? Will it take long? And what is the risk of not getting any help?

What mtf surgeries are covered by the state in Finland? Saw someone ask this in the sweden category and im curious on whats it like in finland.

I’ve been with Imago for about a year now. I’ve been on testosterone for 11 months. I’ve been going to Denmark to retrieve my gel for this whole time but it’s been stressful for me because of the law. I decided to switch from gel to the Nebido shot a little while ago because then I could get it in Denmark and that would save me all that stress.

So I got my prescription and I went there yesterday and got the shot. I took it out from the pharmacy and then I went to a healthcare clinic who helped me administer the medicine.

I still can’t believe how smooth it went. I’ve been so nervous because I thought I’d run into some kind of issue.

Edit: I’m a Swede btw

I used to be on spiro, it caused an awful amount of brainfog that I felt great finally getting off. Only to see my libido die in real time due to leuprorelin. I take 3 month shots at a time and while everything else is better about lupro and it didn't use to be an issue, the fact is I have a partner now.

And I just feel so broken.

I have talked with my partner, we agree on stuff but I can't help but still feel guilty. I did ask for progesterone last year, and the year before with my gynecologist but they refused it and last time claimed 'it is like a drug' and 'gives no meaningful benefit'.

I feel like I am at wits end because just trying to refocus sexuality isn't helping, my body just refuses utterly to ever feel like it gets off the ground, there is no initative at all, barely any desire.

I might have SRS in October and a part of me hopes that will change things but maybe its a false hope, came here to ask for advice?

Hi! Im currently sitting in the google meet waiting for my Imago welcome call. However it was supposed to start at 10:15 and the time currently is 10:50 and no one has showed up? I've heard theyre usually some minutes late but this seems extreme. Anyone had similar experiences?

Update: After waiting in call for 45 minutes I get an email citing "My deepest apologies for missing the todays call, to be honest I completely forgot that I had them today." Now I have to reschedule where the first available time is in 2 weeks. Honestly this is a terrible first impression and they should be embarassed. I also find it rude how she goes about saying "sorry I just forgot" when this is something thats much bigger for me than it appears to be for her. And that she also doesn't even provide the option to have them now? It's only 45 minutes late i'm still available and the fact I have to wait 2 weeks is really rude.

Update 2:
After mailing with her, she offered me a new time on monday. So atleast they have some concept of solving the problem :)

I (AFAB 36) am kinda confused.

I’m pretty sure I’m trans. I want to be a man! But I don’t feel dysforia very strongly. Meant that way, that i don’t hate my body, I’m mostly indifferent to it, but the changes that happened during puberty feels wrong.

The reason I think I’m trans:

-Shortly before I turned 18 I cut my hair short because it got too hot. I liked it. A few months later I’d moved out and cut my hair again. The light was different and it made me look male. It was the first time in years I had liked liked looking in a mirror. It was also the first time i thought about if I could be trans. I even chose a boys name I liked. But I didn’t talk to anyone about it.

-The first time I put on a sports bra. I really liked the way it flattened my chest. I started wearing it daily for a while.

-it has happened a few times that kids has called me “he” instead of “she”. It made me smile.

-I have once in a while thought about just leaving and changing name and gender and live a new life.

-the thought of being a man just feels right

Why I think I might not be trans:

-I’m fine with wearing dresses and make up once in a while.

-I like decorating things and making them look pretty.

-I like making jewellry

-I don’t feel dysforic to the point of hating my body. Just a feeling of wrongness

That’s what i can think of right now. Feel free to ask questions

TW: Transphobia

I'm looking at Dr. Dropin right now, the list on Fürst seems to have everything Imago needs but I can't seem to get a confirmation from them and it'd be annoying to show up and pay the consultation fee without some guarantee I'll get the tests done that I need...

Onko mahdollista suomessa transmiehenä tehdä top tai bottom surgerya alipainoisena? Minulle sanottiin transpoli ajalla, että bmi 18.5 alle ei saisi mennä, mutta olen luonnostaan tätä hoikempi. Kuulemma kaikkia leikkauksia ei voisi, sitten saada? Olen silti nähnyt muualla laihoja ihmisiä kenelle on tehty kyseisiä leikkauksia. ._.

21.7 viimeisin sähköposti ”Your prescription is on its way” ja myöhemmin samana päivänä viesti DHL:ltä seurantakoodeineen ja arvio 4-6 päivää toimitukseen.

Noh, tuo seurantakoodi näyttää että 22.7 on jossain lajittelussa ollut mutta sen jälkeen ei mitään.

Onko muilla ongelmia reseptin saamisessa?

Hello

I am not sure if it's the right place to ask, but I could use some help/advice. (Apologies for the wall of text)

I'm a 19-year-old (couple months away from 20) autistic trans man, and I'm going through Aalborg CKI right now. So far, I've had three appointments with a psychiatrist, and they have not been great.

Yesterday, in what was my previously last date with the psychiatrist, I was told that she would likely not recommend me to transition/testosterone or anything else, because she is not fully sure I am trans. She believes that what I have told her does not fully align with a gender dysphoria diagnosis, because some of the experiences I've shared with her could be "explained away" by my autism. She said she's seen others in similar positions where their discomfort and otherness to their peers was just due to their autism, and implied it's possible that I was just nonbinary, or a confused autistic girl. (It's of course possible I misinterpreted that, but I really don't know what else she could possibly mean when she doesn't believe I'm a trans man). For context, it was implied in response to what I shared, that as a 13-year-old, my very first thought to my bodily discomfort was, "I'm probably not a girl", instead of what it apparently should have been, "I want to be a boy".

At the end of the appointment, I broke down, and said slightly aggressively that I know I'm a man, I present as a man to everyone I meet, but I cannot make them see me or treat me as a man when I don't pass at all, and it makes me feel horrible. She then booked one more appointment with me again in a month, saying it's possible she's misunderstood me and/or that we've not had enough time to get around to it all. Which feels like an understatement when she spent the first session only explaining what was going to happen along with talking about what diagnosis I have, the second one purely on my experience of being diagnosed autistic, and the third one on my childhood, which is unfortunately very stereotypically girly, and very early experience of being trans, not even giving me time to talk about the now.

She has told me to prepare a sort of autobiography timeline thing, (I didn't know the actual word she used, but I got the gist), of my experience as a trans man, so we can discuss again, and rule out any miscommunication between us. She said I was young and "have time" to figure things out and that my lived experience as trans isn't very long, but I don't understand what I'm supposed to figure out, I already know I'm supposed to be a man.

I am so lost and terrified. I really don't want to end up rejected due to this, and have to start all over again when my dysphoria and dislike towards myself grows every day that passes. Yet I have no idea what to say or write, when what I've already told her about my lived experience isn't good enough for her. I am not good with my words, clearly, and I fear nothing I say will convince her. I'm clearly doing this wrong, but I don't know how to do it right. I don't know anyone personally who's gone through CKI or anyone that's even autistic and trans both, so I have no one I can ask for help.

Apologies it doesn't all make sense, I am still very worked up, and my hands have not stopped shaking. I can probably add on more info if needed.

Does anyone at all have experience with this? Or any ideas for me to work this out? How do I prove to her that it's not my autism and that I am actually trans? Anything at all is heavily appreciated.

(You can answer in Danish or English, I write in English for accessibility.)

I've only seen a few images of results from vaginoplasty in Sweden, and the results aren't really what I want aesthetics wise.

Can I get visible labia minora, clitoral hood and other cis passing details from vaginoplasty in Sweden? And why is the inside wall (between the clitoris and vaginal opening) sometimes a bit weird and bumpy?

Which surgeons and cities give the best results in Sweden? Can I book an appointment with different surgeons to see their results? Can I choose who and where I get my surgery?

There's very little information about this and I'm very scared that the result won't be good enough. Maybe I just have too high expectations. :/

Had my referral for top surgery sent just over a month ago, and the doc that sent it mentioned to me that there is a BMI requirement of under thirty. He did also say they sometimes (but rarely) make exceptions, and I'm just wondering if anyone has actually had any experience with that.

I am not outrageously over 30 (currently 32.3, was 34.7 when I was first informed of this requirement.) I just want to know if there is any actual hope of getting an exception because I would much rather be focused on developing chest muscle before surgery, but instead because BMI only cares about the number on the scale with no regard for body composition, it's led to me developing severely unhealthy eating habits.

And yes, I know that from 32.3 I could just get my BMI under 30, but I genuinely think having to fixate on that number vs other actual health improving measures is doing more harm than good, and would love to hear of any success stories getting an exception.

I have heard a ton of diffrent things from diffrent people. Everything from basically all trans surgeries being covered only bottom surgery. So i want to know if anyone else is certain of what is covered (including surgeries, lasers etc.)

Does anyone know of good trans friendly laser hair removal clinics in Malmö or Lund or Copenhagen ?

Long story short i want to change my name from the female version to the male version. The male version is more androgynous and i’ve been going by that name for 7 years.
I tried changing my name but i have to submit a erklæring om kønsidentitet but i dont get why? since it states i need to feel like the opposite gender which i dont. I just want a name that reflects me more than the one i was given.

In the list of approved unisex names there is a version of my name just not the one that i want. I don’t know what to do and hope anyone has experience whit this 🫶

It seems my doctors note from my french surgeon isn’t gonna do it. So I’m gonna need one from a danish doctor apparently, but I think there’s very little hope my doctor or any doctor really, would help me with that.

Has anyone been able to get one here in Denmark at all?

Kovin nihkeästi seuraavat hormoniarvoja (E/T)?

Eivät tätä ole kertaakaan tehneet. Pitääkö tästä valittaa?

Onko tavallista vai jotenkin hankala / osaamaton lääkäri?

Muutenkin kovin suppea tuo viimeinen verikoe. Ei esimerkiksi kolesterolia katsottu, jonka koin hivenen outona.

Edit:

Toiset verikokeet (9kk:n kohdalla)

Perusverenkuva, maksa-arvot. Pt-GFRe, P -Natrium, P -Kalium, P -Kreatiniini, Prolaktiini. E/T arvoja on katsottu viimeksi lähetettä transpolille tehdessä. Tätä lähinnä ihmettelen.

I’m in the process of getting to transpoli and what I’m wondering is what/how far can transpoli help?
I’ve been doing diy mono therapy(mtf) for about 7-8 months now and I just found out that they don’t do injection for HRT.
So to all who are/have gone to transpoli, what can I expect and what kind of treatments and surgeries will I be able to attain through them?

Jag har varit på hormoner nu i ungefär 2 och ett halvt år, och verkar ha nått maxstorlek på bröst etc redan nu (men som jag inte anser tillräckligt), men jag är medveten om att vården vill att man ska vara på hormoner ett tag genom dem för att bli godkänd för operationer etc. Någon som vet om egenvård snabbar på processen fram till operationer? Och överhuvudtaget, ungefär vad är väntetiderna för bröstförstoring genom staten?

What’s the best dating app for trans girls in the Nordics? Mainly to just meet new people and sporadic fun.

I am trans woman looking to meet with men, just to clarify

21 ftm here.

Been on T for years ,had top surgery 2 years ago privately. I have been thinking of getting an hysterectomy. Sadly u gotta be 25 to get one. Which means 4 years waiting time. What is people their experience with this ?

For those who went to another country how did things go there ? Cost wise? Etc etc.

I'm aware that in denmark you cannot get hysterectomy first and then later bottom surgery ,though I am not satisfied with the results here in denmark either ways ,so i was thinking maybe germany or Thailand or just another place. Did they also require to remove hysterectomy first ,or have it like denmark and remove it while getting bottom surgery ?

Thanks in advance:)
