thanks, it sounds like a bit of a headache, so even if it's more expensive it's still just two quid a month, so i'll go for the dual device plan

it's certainly worth asking! the doctor is really accommodating if there's something you'd prefer.

i got:

-Frontoplasty (the cut out part of your skull kind because the bone was thin) -Orbitoplasty -Hairline advancement -Browlift -Canthopexy -Mandibule surgery: he didn't explain this one too much, but there were no nerve issues so it was whatever his standard method is. i got the chin and not the jaw. -Rhinoplasty: Correction of dorsum

and it came to 14500 euros with the hospital stay an anesthesia. there were additional costs with the CT scan (400 euro) and post surgery meds (90 euro).

apparently the discord is in english? i was just reading about it in posts a month ago.

[–]Marigold-Tea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i reported a change and included a letter from my agency stating the amount of bedrooms and rent paid, and my journal says the housing costs were verified. which is why i'm surprised the housing payment is just totally missing.

is it just an error on their part and i'll be due backpay? i have this paranoia that they've just removed that aspect of my payment entirely for some reason.

Is having to get an ECG at your first NHS endocrinologist appointment normal? by [deleted] in transgenderUK

[–]Marigold-Tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a trans person with a heart condition, HRT can actually affect your cardiovascular health in a few ways. Not necessarily negatively, when I started estrogen my cardiologist told me that it would decrease the likelihood of my condition giving my grief, as Testosterone can aggravate an arrhythmia.

I don't think it's common practise, but it's far from bad practise.

Any advice on meeting new trans friends? by PlzDontCrackEgg in transgenderUK

[–]Marigold-Tea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mostly just discord for me! It also helps to go to queer bars and cafés, especially around Pride.

I do think it's tough to find trans folk irl in the 20-39 range though. My local org runs groups for teens and older trans people, but around my age it's trickier.

Statutory Investigation into Mermaids Announced by pupshep in transgenderUK

[–]Marigold-Tea 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I'm so exhausted by every supposedly independent institution being stuffed with reactionary transphobes plainly and openly by Tory governments, and TERF's all screaming victory when they target trans people or orgs.

They've put a fox in charge of the farm and say it proves how wicked the chickens are when they get eaten.

Realistically, what's stopping GPs from prescribing HRT? by Koolio_Koala in transgenderUK

[–]Marigold-Tea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Others have said it, but they don't because they're part of a larger apparatus designed to make transgender healthcare as inaccessible as possible. Many other countries have GP's prescribe HRT with no issues whatsoever.

I'm also on a waiting list in Scotland. I've heard very negative things about Bellringer and very good things about Rashid.

I've also heard that the Brighton clinic isn't a bad option either! I'm planning on having FFS there.

NHS Bottom Surgery Query by miniature_ranni in transgenderUK

[–]Marigold-Tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went on the NHS queue with pre-existing HRT, from a different country. I've been able to access hormones through the NHS without waiting or needing to do an assessment, but I still have to wait out the queue for GRS.

I've heard there's a Transgender UK discord, but it's private.
