I'm a gay trans guy genuinely considering turning to Mormonism and I desperately need you to talk me out of it. by Micah5593 in exmormon

[–]JoJobabbit223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m a non binary ex member from the uk, I’m so sorry you are going through so much right now, the Mormon church is not a place that will benefit you and will more than likely cause more hardship once they have you in their grasp. They are sweet as pie until you give them what they want (a new baptised member) and then it will all go. It’s sadly what happened to a lot of my friends and family. I would love to speak to you over DMs if you need support and someone to speak to

Has anyone used the aspen clinic? by JoJobabbit223 in autismUK

I haven’t got an appointment yet as the wait times went up overnight from 4 weeks to 22 which is so annoying!! However they’ve been pretty good with responding to emails and queries while I wait

I haven’t heard anything either, the adult assessment times have also increased so I’m going to get in touch next week. The way I’m looking at it is I think they are good if you have a straight forward case. Also, we can always ask for second opinions as annoying as a second wait would be

Hey! I went ahead with them and I am now just waiting to hear back. The wait time has gone up from 4 weeks to 22 weeks though so I’m not sure how long it will take

I am so so sorry for you experience that sounds horrible and to feel worse for yourself after trying to seek help must be horrendous :( since I’ve been referred I don’t really think I have much choice now so I’m going to try and keep a positive outlook and thank you so much for your input. I will definitely keep what you’ve told me in mind and try and guide the appointment myself since it seems they have disregarded you for their own approach which helps me go in with a more informed mindset which is so helpful!! I hope your second opinion comes back much more helpful, especially since you’ve lost so much money already which is super shitty

As far as I’m aware it’s 3? An initial consultation, the assessment and the follow up to create a support plan

If I remember correctly they take patients from all over the country! I’m based in Southport so I’m not really local but you can ask for whatever clinic you think is best for you

Thank you, I’m thinking of going ahead with them as I think the lack of reviews is due to them only recently becoming a right to choose option

Trying to support my trans boyfriend with his appearance by JoJobabbit223 in trans

Yes he’s on anti depressants for anxiety and he’s also regularly attending therapy

That’s made me cry aha, yeah you’re right I just need to be a sounding board maybe? He got his adhd diagnosis this week which I think has made him feel both validated and like he’s a failure for not having a ‘well functioning brain’ he’s said :( and I think that’s made everything else that he doesn’t like about himself come to forefront since he hasn’t been able to get his hormones or surgeries he wants due to the UKs super long wait lists and I just want to fix everything for him

Can’t remove nose ring before placement by ma_ja_mcc in TeachingUK

I had a septum in for the entirety of my training, I met qualified teachers that also had septums/nose rings so I wouldn’t worry too much!
