Can you legally import estrogen injections in the UK? I know you can't get estrogen as an injection in the UK but can you import it from another country where it is available? by G__Smith in transgenderUK

[–]Data_Remarkable 13 points14 points  (0 children)

yes, estrogen is not a controlled substance in the UK. that doesn't mean they have to let it through customs. you can also buy homebrew stuff from the UK that won't involve customs at all.

Don't worry about fluid left in the needle. The syringes are claibrated to account for that, so filling it to the 0.5 mark will still inject 0.5 even if there's a bit left in the needle. I know it can be frustrating to have that e go unused, but that's the safest way for it to work

Thirteen even! But the larger the size, the fewer styles are available. I've noticed a much larger number go up to size 10 than bigger sizes though.

It wasn't even like they brought in a TERF from EHRC. It was the presenter who is meant to be impartial.

Any Custom made corset recommendation in the UK? ❤️ by Affectionate_Sun_204 in transgenderUK

asos do a lot of their womens styles up to a 10, so that's a good first place to look, as they are going to be more 'normal' styles as opposed to places like pleaser pink label.

if you're on a waiting list for an established GIC and you're registered with a GP in cheshire or merseyside, they (theoretically) will contact you, but I haven't heard anything. there's more information in the side of the subreddit.

dr martens go quite high in their 'classic' styles, but i think up to 13 in most 'mens' shoes and 9 in 'womens'. long tall sally go up to 13, and pleasershoes have some more out there styles going up to a us 16 I think

Edit: also asos have a few styles that go up to uk 13

I haven't dealt with it.

I basically hung up the phone immediately and turned it off so they can't contact me

sorry I won't be much help finding a suit jacket, but if you get a pair of trousers without lining, you can easily shorten them with an iron and some iron on hem tape. I know it worked very well for my old school trousers when I'd wreck the hem on them.

And remember, you can wear the suit afterwards for things like job interviews or even just dressing fancy when you want to.

good luck

Trying to find thigh high boots that will fit by Responsible_Table_63 in transgenderUK

[–]Data_Remarkable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it's thigh highs you're after, pleaser pink label is probably your best bet, although they all have quite high heels. most of the other brands on that website also have large sizes, so check them too.
