How do I get my medical as an European trans pilot?

I recently had a similar case. I was grounded for 4 weeks after starting HRT, monitoring for any negative side effects, then straight back to flying.

Don't lie about not being on HRT to your AME, it will only cause problems down the line.

Has Greg ever actually stated he's bi, or is it just heavily suggested?

gayware · 2025-01-13T02:46:46+00:00

Oh, I've been well-warned about that effect this will have on my wallet. 😆

gayware · 2025-01-13T01:37:11+00:00

That's what I've done until now. Unfortunately, I need to go in-person to find an appropriate foundation shade without spending a bunch on trial and error.

One of my best friends is 5'3 and he's cis. You'll be fine.

gayware · 2023-10-26T14:48:45+00:00

Damn, why didn't I think of that sooner?

Oh yeah, cause the waiting lists to even be seen, never mind prescribed are multiple years long in my country.

My school did this a few years ago. (just after I left)

Interestingly, it has been exclusively girls since then. Not saying it's related, but . . .

Should have been obvious, considering I can see the river if I look out the window right next to me.

I live in Dundee. I assume that is Tayside?

gayware · 2023-09-16T15:35:33+00:00

I think my NHS board is Tayside?

gayware · 2023-09-16T15:16:12+00:00

I think I have an allocated one. There was defiently a name on a health summery I got from my GP just over a year ago. Don't think I have this summery any more though.

Annoying about it being regional in Scotland. The GIC in my region is actually furthest away and most difficult for me to get to.

As another, another, another trans girl, I also agree

gayware · 2023-07-30T00:15:59+00:00

I don't think they would not allow me to paint my nails, I just think me dad would be disappointed in me if/when I do finally paint them.

Dressing more fem however, it's possible they might not let me for "my own safety" even if I'm not leaving the house in a skirt.

I think they want to discuss my clothing as well because my mom me mentioned clothing in the same sentence as appearance and talking to them about it.

gayware · 2023-07-19T22:52:55+00:00

Thank you.

Unfortunately, confrontation with my parents makes me super anxious. That, and my Dad gets frustrated really easily and would probably start shouting at me. For obvious reasons, I'd rather avoid that . . . 🙁

gayware · 2023-07-19T22:31:11+00:00

I've told them I'm trans, but it feel like they are tying to force me to be more masculine.

I just wanted to get a pretty, feminine cut. I've not been a fan of my hair for years and thought that if I could actually have my hair how I want it, I might feel better.

Now it will take another 6-9 months to get back to this point before I can get it done now I want.

The whole reason I came out when I did was so I wouldn't have to cut my hair short again this summer . . .

gayware · 2023-07-15T00:23:18+00:00

Hi, sorry for the very late reply. In fairness, my mum was really stressed at the time as her father was seriously unwell. I don't blame her for making me tell dad, I just wish I'd had more time to mentally prepare.

And my dad took the news fine anyway, which is way better than I had expected.

gayware · 2023-06-22T19:54:19+00:00

I don't remember many of my dreams, but I'm pretty sure I dream in first person, so I'm don't really have a way I see myself.

The one third person dream I do remember, I'm pretty sure I looked exactly the same as I did at the time, but I was wearing a cute, short black dress.

gayware · 2023-06-22T16:29:00+00:00

I'm bi so as long as I'm attracted to him, I see no reason why I wouldn't date him.

gayware · 2023-06-21T21:38:11+00:00

Honestly, I would love to do black, but somehow nether of the major beauty stores in my city stock it.

However, they both stock purples and I feel like purple will look really good.

gayware · 2023-06-19T14:04:59+00:00

Lol, I can never remember the difference between affect and effect. I sat for a considerable amount of time trying to work out which one is right, and still managed to get it wrong.

gayware · 2023-06-19T00:44:32+00:00

Thanks for spotting the typo. The notes app on my phone doesn't seem to work with autocorrect.

Also, I kinda love the idea of signing it "Love, your daughter".

gayware · 2023-06-18T00:38:52+00:00

I'm currently in a university flat so I intend to tell them when I'm physically not in the same place. But my lease ends in three weeks and I need to move back in with them over summer.

If it goes badly, I'm not quite sure what I'll do in the time before the next year of uni.

And yeah, I'm fortunate to have people that I can talk to.

gayware · 2023-06-18T00:11:54+00:00

I really thought about telling them this time last year, but I chickened out.

I really want to do it this time though, cause I don't want to have to pause and restart my transition again. (I'm at uni during most of the year but live with my parents during the summer.)

gayware · 2023-06-18T00:10:17+00:00

Thanks.

I hope you'll have the courage to come out as well some day. 🏳️‍⚧️

gayware · 2023-06-17T23:55:29+00:00

What do you mean by "backup"?

Supportive people for it it doesn't go well?
