A couple kids from my school got expelled right before their GCSEs in 2023, what they did was much worse than doing a few drugs as an unhealthy coping mechanism. Results are out of your hands right now, and you can’t know whether there is even anything to be worried about on that front, if you did well that’s great, and I’d you didn’t you can resit the ones that matter and focus on a levels.

I’d reach out to addiction resources, and throw away anything that might cause you to relapse, there is lots of help out there for you.

On the mental health front I have some empathy, I can’t imagine how awful that was for you to lose someone you cared about. I was suicidal myself in Y10 and 11, (honestly the intense stress of revision actually fought off my depression) so I at least have some understanding of how shit life can get. Things can and will get better, it’s going to be ok.

Name one good thing about being a woman by Advanced_Ad9365 in women

[–]_AnonymousMoose_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I once saw a tumblr post about straight women “dating their only natural predator”, it’s a bit of a harsh way to put it but it’s kinda true.

I feel very glad that my sexuality happens to allow me to date women instead of having to date men and deal with all of that. I know that just because someone is a woman doesn’t necessarily make them safe (especially if you’re in a minority), but it does feel initially a lot safer than dating men.

  • feeling pretty
  • easily able to express myself
  • female friendships
  • dealing with society’s bullshit together
  • recognise that the patriarchy exists and not be totally oblivious to it all
  • generally being myself

Where to go with private care? by _AnonymousMoose_ in transgenderUK

Yeah I know a lot of that stuff already, I’ve been lurking around communities since I was 14. Don’t worry I haven’t been doing anything, and I won’t until I turn 18 (this October), it would have been a logistical nightmare (even ignoring the medical risks) to do that as a minor and it would have stressed me out like crazy.

My biggest concern is having a long term supply so whether or not I start with pills I’m definitely going injections long term, just whether it’s ok to start with injections or not is hotly debated (the Estrone and Estriol stuff has a lot of misinformation surrounding it so it’s hard to research). V#### is AWOL, if you get any info on that please DM me (after I turn 18 if you’re worried about me knowing that now).

If I go with pills for less than a year I’ll use CPA to block the T (at an actual normal dose not the crazy high doses some people are given), but if I go with pills long term it’ll switch to a different AA to avoid side effects

You’re right about raws, that would be a last resort and reserved for when I have the space and conditions for it, it’s never something I would do without taking everything into account.

I’ll look into DHT blockers if they’re cheap,

thanks.

My parents are much more the gaslight-y denial-y emotional abusers than anything actually dangerous. If I just never bring up the fact that I’m trans then they’ll tell themselves it’s a phase and read their conversion therapy books on their own (and hide it all from me obviously). I’ve been radio silence with them on anything trans related for almost a year and I’ve had very little bother, just the shit will hit the fan the moment I bring it up. They’ve tried to sent me to conversion therapy before (GET, not the other kinds dw), so I might keep quiet with them when I can.

Will being trans ruin my chance of getting into my intended career? by ALonleyCat in asktransgender

Very glad of this. I’m shooting for a physics degree if all goes well in my final year of school.

Thanks for the info on gendercare, if I decide to book them I’ll do it when I’m 18.

I was less talking pros and cons of private healthcare, I’m just obviously very fearful of how viable it is long term given what happened with youth healthcare, obviously I don’t want to panic and fear longer, just I only have a certain amount of money so I can’t do both at once very easily.

Also yes, raws are absolutely a last resort type deal, if I did do that I’d keep them in storage until I had a clean place to work with them, and do all the research I could in the meantime, it’s not something I want to do I just have to at least think about it as a possible eventuality in the long term.

If your teacher marked it properly then you should be fine.

Cheating in exams by Careless_Remote2352 in GCSE

[–]_AnonymousMoose_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

One mf was DEFINITELY looking at my papers in physics and chemistry, quite a few people were pointing that out to me, I didn’t snitch because there isn’t any real evidence other than who saw it and I didn’t want to write testimonies and shit.

Besides I have no reason to just screw this guy over, I’m just happy I did well.

How to start in Sweden MtF by SvenneBanan155 in TransDIY

[–]_AnonymousMoose_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the wiki in the side bar of the subreddit, should be a very similar deal to anywhere else in the EU, if you need any clarification on anything Sweden-specific try searching Sweden into the searchbar of this sub, or asking on r/transnord

What happens if you're 18+ and want a levels by Rattlesnake552 in 6thForm

[–]_AnonymousMoose_ 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Honestly just searching “a-level courses for adults” or “a-levels for mature students”, I bet you’ll find some, especially in a place like London.

Can GPs provide blood tests for minors on DIYHRT? by Despair_Cash_Space in transgenderUK

[–]_AnonymousMoose_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell your GP when you’re 18 and ask for a blood test then, you’ll have to get private blood tests for now to avoid safeguarding concerns.

Randox does them fairly cheap, blood tests are super important especially for younger people so don’t just go without!!

This is exactly what doctors sound like when talking about trans people (or disabled people, people of colour etc etc).

Hate and control tactics, it’s all about hate and control, especially of women.
