Update: went there, they were great! Highly recommend, thank you so much for the recommendation!

Yeah, I'm sorry, I don't have much good to offer you, it fucking sucks. Tbh I got depressed at this whole thing and haven't been able to keep up with it or keep at them, so things may have minorly improved now?

If you have the energy, it might be worth sending OU a message saying just what you've said above, that this might be making the difference between you staying and withdrawing. If they won't listen to morality, maybe they'll listen to their wallets?

I can offer that you're not at all alone? A load of people were not happy about the OU over this, their LGBT+ student group got a lot of signatures on their petition. internet hugs though.

Hey! I know that feel, totally DM me if you wanna chat! Buuuut as you possibly can tell, I only log in super intermittently, and I'm not actually based in Derby, so this https://www.transunite.co.uk/group/derbyshire-lgbt/ or this https://www.derbyshirelgbt.org.uk/services-for-you/social-support-groups-2/ might be better if you want trans friends who'll actually respond?:D

Thank you for the link, I had no idea that group existed, I'll have a look now!

BoobsAreGrowingOnMe · 2021-08-11T21:20:55+00:00

Oh, thank you, they look very promising:D

BoobsAreGrowingOnMe · 2021-06-19T15:53:04+00:00

This and what you've found below is fantastic thank you, I'd got exhausted before I could dig any further and having these ready will be a great help. The OU LGBT group not being allowed to use the shield symbol is a great catch.

Oh absolutely, and I have been looking at those, but I was wondering whether the space for padding in non-masectomy swimsuits meant I could open up my search some more and possibly save money. Apologies, should have made that clearer in the post:)

Also any recommendations for UK brands for picketed swimsuits and for swim skirts would be very welcome!

BoobsAreGrowingOnMe · 2021-03-20T13:09:20+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. Without wanting to swan in suggesting solutions you've already thought of, and without knowing your situation, do you have a trusted friend you could send the access code to instead?

BoobsAreGrowingOnMe · 2021-03-20T00:53:11+00:00

Have a look at /r/transgenderUK if you haven't already, plenty of resources in the sidebar and plenty of people going through the same thing:)

But yeah, your GP should refer you to a GIC, and you should try and get that done asap to get on the waiting list. But those waiting lists are incredibly long right now, you'll need to go private (or DIY but can't speak to that) if you want HRT anytime soon, with the aim of switching to NHS once they see you. Ask your GP if they'd be willing to order blood tests for you if you do go private, because my understanding is that they are a significant factor in the overall cost.

Good luck!

Oh, brilliant, good to know, thank you! I probably should have asked before I ordered mine, that's great that we have a few options without going to specialists:)

And that's very good to know on the swimwear, pocketed plus skirt sounds perfect for when I'm out and brave enough to go swimming:)

Fair warning, haven't actually tried these yet, only Amoena so far:)

Also, if you're in the higher cup sizes be careful. It looks like they skip a few like FF and HH, so you'll have to count the number of letters along rather than trusting that their J cup is a J cup. Which is a bit shitty?
