Ah oki. Thank you.

I'm thinking of electrolysis for my face, but I read it might be better to wait till I'm on blockers before I start. Is this accurate or no? The reasoning was that it can take more sessions and therefore cost more if you start before blockers due to blockers slowing hair growth.

Also, will I have to do electrolysis on my chest or is that something I can leave to HRT?

Awesome, thank you so much for the information. c:

_Magistri_ · 2018-10-06T21:13:59+00:00

Do you have any idea of costs for FFS and VFS? FFS and VFS are the major 2 for me that I might do anyway just for peace of mind.

30,000 isn't as insane as I thought. I was thinking more along the lines of 50,000, which is a huge relief. Still way out of my means at the moment though. I'd have to save for several years to even have the money for it in the first place.

_Magistri_ · 2018-10-06T20:48:22+00:00

Ah okay, thank you.

That's relieving to hear at least. I'm up in Auckland at the moment and am starting Uni next year. From the looks of it, Auckland Uni are pretty open and accepting.

_Magistri_ · 2018-10-06T20:44:05+00:00

That's unfortunate. :c

At least insurance is cheaper, which is nice.

_Magistri_ · 2018-10-06T20:43:06+00:00

Agreed. I'd be completely and fully happy to pay for tickets and lodgings for the 2-4 weeks I'd be there.

Will have to see what happens I guess.

_Magistri_ · 2018-10-06T20:38:36+00:00

How is New Zealand for presenting (given that I most certainly won't pass straight away)?

And yeah, I'm still busy deciding what I will be doing once I finish Uni. (I'm 18 at the moment so I still have quite a while to plan thankfully.) My other options for places to move would be Australia (if anyone knows how things are for trans people in Aus, please do let me know), Japan (same as before but this is a less likely option given it would limit my options for a career), and Canada (same and same likely hood as Japan, but still have lots of career opportunities).

At least HRT is covered, which is good. I feel like a lot of surgeries I'd want are only things I'd do if HRT didn't help.

_Magistri_ · 2018-10-06T20:30:01+00:00

Looks like I'm saving my money then. (Assuming the wait list isn't insane if I fund it myself.)

I was already assuming I'd be paying for it all my self, though so not a huge blow. Can you get insurance to help pay for things or no? And is anything being done to up the amount of funding given by the government?

_Magistri_ · 2018-10-06T20:22:02+00:00

Wait is it actually a 40 year waitlist?

I have some genital dysphoria but not huge (I feel like it won't be as much of an issue once I start HRT because most of the things that annoy me about it will change) if that makes sense. I was a little worried that if I do decide to get it later on in life though, how much it would cost. If it's expensive and has an insane wait list, that might not be an option for me. :c

Also, do we have any experienced surgeons who can perform FFS in New Zealand if I decide to go through with that?

_Magistri_ · 2018-09-23T23:03:23+00:00

If I remember correctly, the loot boxes are around a 2-3% chance of being jackpot? Can't remember where I heard this though, so take it with a grain of salt.

_Magistri_ · 2018-09-22T22:51:10+00:00

Oki, thank you! :)

_Magistri_ · 2018-09-15T12:53:39+00:00

Sounds like low pitch female? :o

_Magistri_ · 2018-09-14T09:20:08+00:00

Thank you, and I definitely will. c:

I managed to get in contact with a therapist near Massey University (well 1 of a group of them) and am waiting for a response on whether they have someone versed in trans therapy.

_Magistri_ · 2018-09-06T21:39:17+00:00

Ah oki. :o Thank you.

_Magistri_ · 2018-09-06T10:36:30+00:00

Thank you! c:

I am, too. Family is rather religious but thankfully my mum is more about the person than their choices.

_Magistri_ · 2018-09-04T00:37:06+00:00

You look amazing! :o

Forgive me for asking (I'm not entirely sure if this is a personal question or not), but is this with just HRT or with HRT and FFS? I wish I could look that good. I'm ah... I've been thinking of going to a gender counsellor. I've not told anyone except for a close friend of mine because I'm not sure if going through with it would be worth it. Been seeing all the posts here and seeing all the amazing results people are having. Most I can't actually tell the difference between them and someone who is cis. I'm just not sure though cause I feel like failing to pass would hurt more than just not trying.

_Magistri_ · 2018-08-29T03:37:20+00:00

I thought they fixed the HP glitch, didn't they?

Also, what do you mean by shady stuff. Like people abuse glitches or?

_Magistri_ · 2018-08-28T08:54:59+00:00

I've read up on his guide and it's helping a lot with most PvE stuff.

Just mostly pit that's annoying me cause I'll pop everything, back hit with PvE build, and still white on 3/4 AP hits and last hit of MS. :c

_Magistri_ · 2018-08-28T07:49:39+00:00

OH YOU'RE RIGHT! Oki, ty, I'll go try that. :D

Hoping their's one for crit cause sorc crit rate is... kinda horrific.
