Re: OP
(Anonymous) 2020-01-17 06:26 am (UTC)(link)Do you have any idea?
I live in the UK. If you're trans here, you'll need...
- About two to four years on a waiting list, in which time you'll almost certainly have nothing.
-Several appointments with different people with at least three months between each before a diagnosis.
-Months of trying and altering dosages to just hope you can find the right one for you.
-At least two years of HRT before even being considered for any surgeries.
- God knows how long on another waiting list, depending on the surgery you need.
That isn't special. That's the typical experience. Even in places with less severe waiting lists, it's constantly about jumping through the damn hoops and having to fight to convince someone that you ARE valid and DO need HRT, if that's what you feel you need.
HRT and surgery is NOT some first option that they hand out like sweets. It's not a "discussion" when it comes to people who desist. It's transphobes and their useful idiots abusing statistics to spin a narrative. Kids who appear to have gender dysphoria growing out of it just means they didn't really have it, or that it was brought on by something else, unlike the rest of us who just have to suffer with it.
The only way this "discussion" ever ends up going is "...And that's why you gross trans people should have to deal with your dysphoria some way we don't have to see or think about." Or the other favourite, "We just need to "fix" their brains, right? Fundamentally altering a person's brain and killing who they are is fine if they're a gross trans person, am I right?""
Re: OP
(Anonymous) 2020-01-18 01:56 am (UTC)(link)sorry but as someone who has worked with kids and teenagers, i'm gonna have to disagree with that. it's entirely possible and not even that unusual for kids to have gender dysphoria and grow out of it, especially if they're gender non-conforming and/or queer. puberty can really do a number on a kid mentally, doubly so if it happens quickly or if they're one of the first kids in their grade to hit puberty.
