#transfediverse — Public Fediverse posts

Hey Trans fedi. I have some JK Rowling books that I was going to destroy. But someone had the idea that I sell them and donate the proceeds to someone's top surgery or to a local trans NPO.

I feel like that way Rowling is supporting someone's transition because fuck her but I have concern that a trans person wouldn't want to receive money tainted by that bitch.

Any ideas ?

I've gotta get those books out of my garage because it's driving me nuts.

Boosts appreciated

This is a long shot, but I figured I would toss this out to #transfediverse:

Has anyone heard of any GRS surgeons doing vaginoplasty on patients with a BMI over 40? I’m talking someone who is specifically specialized in doing the procedure for fat women. My therapist believes this should be possible, but I’ve never heard of anyone that does it.

@EmanEmz Is the list in any order? 💟

* Trans men are men.
* Trans women are women.
* Non-binary people (enbies) are powerful beings, guarding this plane of existence from demonic forces beyond our comprehension, all in secret, without ever receiving praise.

Thank you, enbies :heart_nb:

@ada Hmmm. #TransFediverse maybe? 💟

If you want to know more about just how the NHS is failing trans people, you should consider watching the below video by Abigail Thorn of PhilosophyTube & reading "The Transgender Issue: An Argument For Justice" by Shon Faye.

So while I know I probably should feel grateful that I've been seen at all by the NHS, I can't help but feel loathing & anger at a system that is deliberately designed to be slow, limited & hidden behind unnecessary gatekeeping.

12/13

#NHS #trans #TransFediverse #healthcare #England #UK #HRT #GenderAffirmingCare #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #EOEGS

Returning to NHS care, please note that it won't offer me any of the following:

• Face Feminisation Surgery (FFS) ~£10-20K
• Voice Feminisation Surgery (VFS) ~£5k
• Either an orchi(d)ectomy (~£5K) or Peritoneal Pull-Though (PPT) vaginoplasty (N/A)

If I do want these, I'll have to go private 😖

I'll need a GRC to update my birth certificate & my marriage certificate.

Its requirements include:
• A gender incongruence/dysphoria diagnosis.
• Living as my affirmed gender for >=2 years.

It might take them 22 WEEKS to even look at any application 😐

10/13

Please note that I'M one of the luckier ones.

I was able to afford going part-private (GenderCare) to begin gender affirming care, including a private diagnosis for updating documents & for starting the clock ticking on getting a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC).

AFAIUI, this is all before they'll start to offer me HRT or surgical options via the NHS.

Voice coaching & more laser/electrolysis options are available, but only if I "pass" their assessments...

... & are based on funding at local levels, with further waits for approval.

So, in another ~8 months, someone else from Cambridge or Nottingham will pretty much ask me the same questions & then tell me whether they'll provide me care via their pathway.

So about ~26 months for them to tell me if I'm trans enough for care 😐

What's really bad is when you consider that I'm actually being seen QUICKLY by NHS England standards, as the EOEGS is a pilot scheme to reduce waiting times.

I've "only" been on the NHS waiting list since the end of May 2021 (~18 months).

This is speedy by NHS standards.

Please note that I have zero complaints about the lovely nurse. She was kind, considerate & empathetic, as well as openly acknowledging the NHS system issues.

However, if I were solely waiting on the NHS for gender affirming care, I'd still be waiting for basic HRT.

5/13

#NHS #trans #TransFediverse #healthcare #England #UK #HRT #GenderAffirmingCare #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #EOEGS

However, this 1st appointment:

• Was by a nurse.
• Didn't result in a diagnosis of gender incongruence / dysphoria.
• Will require a 2nd appointment in ~ 8 months' time to tell me whether they'll accept me on to the EOEGS care pathway.

😑

#NHS #trans #TransFediverse #healthcare #England #UK #HRT #GenderAffirmingCare #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #EOEGS

I was also asked typical things like:

• What I want from the NHS.
• What my transition goals/hopes are.
• My experience of dysphoria.

In other words, everything you'd expect from a pathologised, diagnostic approach to assessing whether someone is trans.

3/13

#NHS #trans #TransFediverse #healthcare #England #UK #HRT #GenderAffirmingCare #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #EOEGS #dysphoria

In terms of questions, they were pretty standard admin & diagnostic ones.

E.g.,
• Admin stuff like names, documents etc.
• Timeline of coming out.
• Memories of gender dissonance.
• Family support.
• Gamete storage.
• Mental/physical health.

So, I had my 1st appointment today with the East of England Gender Service (EOEGS).

I wrote about suddenly getting offered the appointment previously on bird site, but I want to advise roughly what happened in it while it's fresh in my mind before I forget.
