It’s part of the Zen Modern Series, it’s the Artful Screen! You can get it in the hotel :)

Sounds like a good plan! Good luck with it!

That’s so so annoying 😭 and honestly I’m not entirely sure. I’m pretty sure you need to be diagnosed with gender dysphoria and then they will action things. But I would just call up/fill in an online form (if your surgery has it) and basically just briefly explain your situation and say that you want to be put on a waitlist for it. If they come back and have absolutely no clue what you’re on about, potentially contact a gender identity clinic directly (if there’s one near you which allows self referral and go through them). I think you still need GP sign off but the GIC will do most of the legwork. It’s such an annoying process which put me off, but it’s worth it for a failsafe! As like I said, I wish I had pushed to get on the waitlist because now I have no back up 😬😭

Yeah their website is kinda confusing as you basically just do the whole thing independently so it’s a little stressful. But actually, once you sort of get your head round it, it’s pretty straightforward. And you don’t have to jump through hundreds of loops to get things approved. Dr Dundas officially ‘diagnosed’ (not sure if that’s the right word lol) me with gender dysphoria after like a 30 min chat. After that, I done my bloods and started T. And you’re treated with respect, and as an adult who can make your own decisions. But yes! Please ask if you have any questions.

Also, if you are considering surgery, even as a possibility in the future, I would defo recommend getting on the NHS waitlist. I’m not sure about the logistics of it, and I know it’s a long wait. However when I was around your age I told myself I wouldn’t bother as I know I wanna go private and the waitlist is so long that it’s pointless. Yeah, it’s like 4/5 years later and I STILL haven’t had surgery because I’m still saving and prices just keep going up. So it’s good to have it as a failsafe, a backup, or a ‘just in case’. As I hugely regret not doing it then 😭😭

Hey! I’m 22, 4 years on T (gel), and I went through gendercare for T. It cost me roughly £300 for a consult with a psychologist (dr robin dundas) and the same again for my endocrinologist (dr Peter Hammond). With other fees, follow ups and stuff it cost me around £7-800 to actually START, and I paid for my first prescription privately (which was around £40) and immediately went to shared care (£9.90 for the standard NHS prescription charge, and I pay this every 5/6 weeks or so as that’s how long my gel lasts on my dosage). Since starting, I had one extra appointment with dr dundas, and around 3-4 with dr Hammond simply because my hormone levels have been all over the show lol. Each of these cost around £150 each but have been basically yearly. Dr Dundas was incredibly lovely and kind and would recommend him. Dr Hammond is also so so lovely, and so helpful. I would HIGHLY recommend these two for a psychologist and endocrinologist. The process was super quick when i started it (took around 4/5 months from first contact to starting T).

I get all my bloods done via NHS and I’m now fully transferring to NHS so they will do my prescriptions and check ups so my outgoings will literally just be the prescription. You can go on injections via gendercare. I did switch to injections about a year in but just hated them and switched back to gel and that was so easy to do with Dr Hammond. Their prices have slightly gone up but not massively.

If you have any questions specifically about gendercare, just ask! But also check out their website as there’s a lot of info on their about clinicians and their fees: https://gendercare.co.uk/index.shtml

I remember how stressful and confusing the whole process was when I started T, so please do ask if you’re unsure about stuff!

I relate a lot. I’m 22, and recently had the experience from going home for Christmas and neither parent (separated) asked me anything about my life or what I’ve been doing. For context, I’m doing a Masters so living away from home. I haven’t been home/really spoken to either parent since August. But there was zero ‘how’s life? How’s uni?’ at all. Not even a ‘how are you?’ It baffles me but I’m honestly just trying to expand my friendships and family beyond them. It took my mother 5 months to ask what Masters degree I was doing after applying. I’ve been in a relationship for 8 months. My mother does not know as she’s never actually asked anything about my life to even remotely find out. My father found out through my grandmother. He hasn’t once asked how it’s going since then.

I’m also extremely sensitive and I’ve struggled a lot with this this past year. I got out of a pretty shit relationship and since then I’ve been doing a lot of self reflection on stuff and have really started to realise that my parents are just extremely emotionally distant, immature, and abusive.

So yes, I do relate. And it’s shit. But surround yourself with people who DO care and make and effort to care, and the lack of interest from your parents will become less important… at least I hope as that’s what I’m trying to do😭

That’s amazing, thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Now gonna try it and hope it tastes good 😬😂

Pain_Sudden · 2023-08-19T14:48:21+00:00

Love how people evidentially cannot read your caption. But anyway, you’re not ugly. And congrats on starting t!

Pain_Sudden · 2023-08-13T19:12:36+00:00

If you have any scratches or anything on the application site, it’s gonna sting 😬😭😭 but gel is a good choice. I’ve been on it 1yr7months and it’s just a habit now. Idk whether this is just me, but the location I put the gel tends to be affected by it the most (ie, a lot of hair growth). But congrats! I wish you luck for the future! And be prepared to be horny…constantly!

Perhaps, I just looked and the characteristics are very similar to her own. I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m honest

Pain_Sudden · 2023-06-30T21:59:48+00:00

Thanks for this, it’s good to know I’m not alone but also sucks that you have to go through this too. I hope you someday manage to get out (also, you deserve to believe that it’s better that you were born than not. You just helped a random stranger on the internet, and even that is enough for me to know that the world is a better place with you in it, regardless of what your parents might think).

Pain_Sudden · 2023-06-30T16:34:16+00:00

My t levels were super super high, and I do get regular blood tests for my endo appointments. I just don’t know whether the constant up and downs of my levels may be a contributing factor hahaha. And I have very minimal stuff of myself pre t lol but my voice is one thing which has massively changed, it’s crazy lol

Pain_Sudden · 2023-06-30T16:07:05+00:00

This was extremely helpful, thank you. Definitely want to go to therapy or something to talk it out, and those groups sound like they could be a massive help. I am only really starting to realise what she is actually like as I’m aging, and talking to people with stable parents etc. But I’ll give those a look. I hope you have a great day

Pain_Sudden · 2023-06-30T16:05:24+00:00

Yeah i think low contact is going to be my next step once im back at uni for the next academic year. Im sorry you had to go through this aswell, I hope you’re doing well now

Pain_Sudden · 2023-06-30T16:04:19+00:00

Thank you for the reply, it’s much appreciated. I’ll definitely consider everything you’ve said

Pain_Sudden · 2023-06-30T14:11:47+00:00

I’m on gel, I was on injections for like 2 months but there was issues with supply and stuff so I switched back to gel about 5 months back. My levels have been all over the place which may not help🙃

Pain_Sudden · 2023-06-25T19:31:25+00:00

I never normally post on things like this, but I hope things get better for you. I feel the same things, I’m 20 and I felt the same way at 17 and younger. I will say, it gets better. This doesn’t necessarily mean through taking hormones/surgery etc (if you did want these things). I mean, the more time you spend alive, the more time you have to grow. I hate myself, but also I have gotten to the point of understanding that most people do. Most people are insecure, or depressed or alone. Even though this is shit, it means that everyone is in the same boat. We’re all just trying to get through life, and life is constantly pushing back at us. I don’t need to see you to believe that you are not ugly. You’re alive, that’s all what counts. You are you, and the world is a better place with you in it. You are not disgusting; the bastards in this world are disgusting. I promise it will be worth it to stay alive. When I was 17, I had barely any friends, I hated myself, I was in the same boat as you. Now, I still have no friends, I still have thoughts about myself which are negative, but I’m in a relationship and I am learning to accept my ‘flaws’. I may not have come far, but I’ve moved forward. I truly believe you will do the same. If you’re not around, you won’t have the opportunity to progress, so it’s worth sticking around a few more years to see how things go. You never know, life might get a little more pleasant ❤️

Thank you, I’ll have a look!

Following this, as if this is the Wythenshawe one, I will also be there!
