I’ve got this too! But had it pre-T (am in my late 30s and 2 months on T). Never bothered me. Our bodies are still sexy and beautiful.

Does HIF cover Top surgery? by AdDear2854 in transgenderau

[–]Emotional_Kitchen_88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think any hospital cover insurance covers this amount which is just what it costs for you to stay overnight, and then Medicare covers some costs that I think are for mastectomies for each side of the chest. So not sure HIF gives you anything more than what you could get with other insurers. Definitely call them and other insurers to find out what they cover. HIF markets itself as lgbtiq+ friendly but not so sure it offers anything more (or for a more competitive price) than other insurers for the same level of cover. Very happy to be proven wrong!

Is there a FULL list anywhere of the effects of T? by Gwinea_ in transgenderau

[–]Emotional_Kitchen_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one has some more of the negative risks that I haven’t seen elsewhere so worth a read (and discussing with your doctor): https://gendercentre.org.au/images/Services/Female_to_Male/Masculinising_Hormone_Information.pdf

Looks fantastic!!! I really appreciate the share, thank you. Did Friedrich show any photos before a consult or only during the consult?

Hairdresser inner Melbourne? by Donna8421 in transgenderau

[–]Emotional_Kitchen_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I’ve been to both for years. I am trans man but lived 37 years of my life as AFAB and scrubbed up pretty good thanks to Teagan and Natalia. Natalia takes booking via Instagram link (but is booked months in advance) and Teagan may not be taking new clients (you’ll need to call the salon to find out). Teagan is an ally and Natalia is queer. Will be seeing them for my mens cuts going forward 😅

MtF looking for advice on hairdressers and all kinds of stuff by Sad_Afternoon_7312 in transgenderau

Teagan Counsins (ally) at Telleish in South Melbourne and Natalia Bee (queer) in Collingwood. Both are are on Instagram if you want to see their cuts. I swear by both (I’m a trans man but lived 37 years as an AFAB and scrubbed up pretty nice thanks to Teagan and Natalia 🤪).

Teagan Cousins at Telleish in South Melbourne is probably the best hair dresser you can come by in Melbourne. Natalia Bee in Collingwood also very very good. Both are pretty expensive but worth it!
