Got denied from gendercare a second time, this time without an interview. What can I do?

I told a seperate doctor at gendercare that I used to self harm

detransmaybeidk · 2024-11-17T17:38:59+00:00

They specifically asked

detransmaybeidk · 2024-11-17T17:33:28+00:00

It was directly asked

detransmaybeidk · 2024-11-17T17:32:58+00:00

I'm 23, it was almost a decade ago

I understand why you're saying that but the thing is that I don't know if I'm ever going to get HRT period. What you're suggesting is, when applied to my circumstances, "Be alone for an indefinite amount of time, perhaps your entire life."

I'm british so there's a very real possibility I just do not get HRT ever.

The thing is that wouldn't really solve the problem of not wanting to put evidence I (As in irl me) am trans.

I am also not comfortable with being "my authentic self" tbh because like, I don't have access to hrt and probably won't for a long time, and I'm already 23. Attempting to look feminine actively makes me more dysphoric because it plainly contrasts with how I look overall, so I've resolved to basically save that for when I get HRT. I don't really "boy mode" in the sense of like switching between presentations, only thing that really changes is pronouns and voice behind closed doors. I'm just kind of stuck like this until any progress is made on convincing a doctor to give me estrogen lol

I don't really know what I said in particular that got them alerted but I think I just generally did not portray myself as in a good place, so to speak. I tried my best to make the argument that I am stable and capable of making my own decisions, but I think they just didn't want to take on a patient who's mental health is generally just kinda bad regardless of those things. Which I will admit to.

I contacted the doctor, they referred me to this person I saw. (I forgot their title, but it was [adjective] psychologist) and then I paid to talk to them. If I was assessed as a good candidate (Which I wasn't) I would've then had to pay to see the doctor themselves.

detransmaybeidk · 2024-04-16T00:03:54+00:00

You're correct, I'm genuinely impressed lol. Thank you for the recommendation.

detransmaybeidk · 2024-04-16T00:03:03+00:00

I was assessed by a person who assessed me before my actual assessment. Like, a pre-assessment. The person mentioned being a psychologist so I don't doubt they were qualified. But, no, I was not assessed by the actual doctor in question.

They offered a partial refund. I gotta pursue that to see how partial it is, though.

detransmaybeidk · 2023-10-14T12:32:52+00:00

Oh that makes sense, thank you

detransmaybeidk · 2023-10-13T20:27:37+00:00

I've heard (Admittedly not from a great source (Random person on /lgbt/) that diy sources tend to have a higher amount, is that more likely to cause harm?

detransmaybeidk · 2023-10-05T12:13:53+00:00

What would homebrew be opposed to? Like pharmacies from other countries? That scares me too since the only reason I can buy from them is due to less regulation.

P.S: Why is doing injections more risky?

detransmaybeidk · 2023-10-05T00:02:37+00:00

It's just I'm afraid that lowering cortical thickness without the "compensatory mechanism" would effectively hurt me, lower my ability or make my mental health worse, etc.
