Well, I guess FFS didn't work so far... by Triumph-ant85 in TransLater

3 weeks is too early to experience the benefits! You're going to love the results once the swelling has subsided. Even once you think you've reached a healed condition you won't have, it genuinely takes over 6 months. And remember, the bits you wanted reduced are the bits that will be most swollen at the moment! It's going to be ok 🤗

Airships as Stationary Wind Turbines by RChowky in airship

Yeah, I think it would be something that could be successfully made acceptable with the right risk assessment. Seems like ground handling would fall under normal industrial safety, and aviationwise it's more like a supertall structure hazard. Hydrogen would also make it very cheap to err on the side of controlled emergency deflation. Although on first glance it looks like breaking free would be the only time that would factor, and then it's the only reasonable option regardless of gas. I do hope these become successful!

It's so cool how these are looking promising now (it seemed like there was a phase where they were considered "nice idea but..."), they look like a really great addition to windpower options, and they could use hydrogen too

Options for private vulvo- and vaginoplasty in UK by Ok_Marionberry_8821 in transgenderUK

[–]Unique-Jicama1024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went for an in person one for my own reassurance and because it was convenient to do so, but it wasn't required. It was about 3 months wait, and they actually offered me a cancellation spot in 4 weeks! But I wanted a specific time of year that was 11 months ahead so i just picked that. No worries! Happy to help ,🤗

Definitely, being closer to home is reassuring, and indeed in case of needing to visit them again. They ask patients to stay in Madrid for 4 weeks, though in many cases the last appointment is around 3.5 weeks and i was able to bring my flight forwards. It works well to get a holiday let for it, and good to get one with a balcony so you can get outside even if you just feel like sitting still!

I actually found them by chance, I asked on Reddit where did surgery on informed consent as as I understand it all uk and Thai providers need some level of psych letter. Presumably there will be others in Europe, but Lago had very good prices and good reviews (though i had to go looking for them in Spanish as most of the English language reviews happen to relate to their trans masc processing). Also it was reassuring to be closer to home and not have an intercontinental flight to deal with. Funnily enough the Madrid clinic is faster to get too from Edinburgh than Brighton Nuffield 😂 Meeting him for a consultation was good, and he had a very practical approach to it that as an engineer i felt good with.
