For me to get HRT I need the gender dysphoria / gender incongruent diagnosis, then it would be covered by the healthcare system. So would be electrolysis, voice training and if necessary Facial feminisation surgery. It’s just that only a few places are allowed to give you the diagnosis and they do assess you for about half a year. I finally got into the place in my area and they sent me a letter that they might start the assessment in about 3 or more years. Yaaaaaaaaay…… :-(

So how has your week been?

    Same situation. After being passed between the specialist clinic, my primary clinic and a private counsellor for six months, a doctor at my primary clinic finally decided that they are able to refer me to the specialist clinic. Now it’s “just” a question of waiting for my turn, getting evaluated and then maybe being eligible for gender affirming treatment. All I want is to be able to love myself.

      I wish you all the best on your way forward. It is crazy how many gatekeeper and blocks are on the way. I get it that you need to be sure, have sufficient time pass and all but this is a tad much.
