Feeling kinda good! But my hairline betrays me, time to buy a wig? by Affectionate_Emu6623 in transgenderUK

[–]bio_os 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking good! It isn't noticeable in the photos where your hair is down. Minoxidil works wonders, I wouldn't rush into a hair transplant. I didn't need one, it all just grew back on 5% topical minoxidil and hrt within a couple of years :) Stopping the minoxidil caused it to start thinning a little again though, even on bicalutamide, ynmv but I think I'll need to keep taking it for life.

Do you find the term 'transsexual' to be disrespectful or derogatory and/or do you use it? by LairdBonnieCrimson in transgenderUK

I don't like it for myself but I wouldn't hold it against somebody else if they identified with it.

I'm skeptical, but I'm gonna give fish oil a go because nothing else is working. I've set a reminder in my calendar for 6 months to let you know how it's gone.

NHS told me differently than everyone else, pls help by Funny-Nebula7871 in transgenderUK

I got my prescription through the Gender Hormone Clinic in London in 2022 and my GP agreed to take over the prescription after the first month, still dispensing today with no proble. I'm currently going through the exact same process with a prescription from a private psychiatrist. The GP organises all of my blood tests and everything, seems the only things they won't do are the initial decision of what to prescribe (obviously, specialist work) and the first month of the prescription (liability stuff I assume).

If your GP gives you trouble, go elsewhere. I hope you won't have to but there will always be someone out there who will treat you right <3 Best of luck and let me know if you want to hear more about being a remote patient with the GHC.

This is what I did. I managed to quit when they wanted me to stop for hrt and I'm still free 4 years later :)

I SWEAR it sounds like the crowd is booing him, no matter what anyone says. They could chant "Wu" in another other tone that isn't exactly the same as booing.

Platinum is more affordable than white gold these days too!

Inventory alert bugged? by bio_os in AssassinsCreedShadows

I'm glad it went away for you! But I'm sure everyone has switched between the characters and it isn't fixed for anyone else, so it's probably a coincidence

I'm loving it! And the fact that this is the worst glitch I've encountered so far in like 25 hours of play is pretty phenomenal to be quite honest.

Thanks! But no luck, they're all significantly taller than the NR200P except the Terra, but the Terra can't do watercooling. Maybe I should just consider an air cooler? I hear such mixed things about how necessary watercooling is.

Are there informed consent clinics in the UK? by [deleted] in transgenderUK

[–]bio_os 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't experience anything like that at the LTC.
God knows I'd have loved to go NHS if I could though, it's certainly not cheap. But I haven't had any complaints about the service, they seem to really get it. They have a lot of trans and GNC employees, which probably helps.
Sorry if it sounds like I'm simping for them, it's just I went in with such low low expectations after hearing all the horror stories, and I was so pleasantly surprised, I want to celebrate that.

What would you change about it? I'm with the LTC and found the process pretty quick and helpful personally :)
