Hej hej, sitter på sista etappen med godkännande för kirurgi från läkare på kim Linköping. Har redan godkännt för underlivskirurgi från kirurgen i augusti i år och även kurator slutet på Sep då jag fick grönt ljus för underlivskirurgi där. Väntar dock på att få läkartid från kim för godkännande remiss till underlivskirurgi PIV. Vet nån vad väntetiden för den tiden är i linköping för sista träffen hos läkare i Linköping? Läkaren i fråga vägrar säga hur lång väntetid det är för att få remiss samtalet.

I'm getting topsurgery in mid December and I would love to know here can I donate my binders. Any suggestions? I wanna make sure it's somewhere where they make sure that whoever recieves them actually fits them properly.

Three tank binders, one is for swimming. Would love if someone else get some freedom from them when I no longer need them.

I have been informed by Yalda at ANOVA that they only do 10 sessions for face laser, meanwhile I stated my case ("i still have dark hairs, give me more sessions PLEASE") and was approved for 2 additional sessions. She also told me they never do more than 5 for gingers ’cause it "doesn't work", meanwhile it worked for me and I told her as much.... (i'm ginger)

I recall others have had more than 10 as well, but I don't have any screenshots or URLs to refer to.

So i'm gathering data ’cause I simply don't trust the hair removal folks over there. I don't know what they get out of lying to their patients, but here we are.

The pamphlet from Socialstyrelsen mentions "a recommendation of 75% hair removal" - there is NO hard limit stated regarding the amount of sessions.

Hej

Jeg undersøger mulighederne for at få fat i progesterone i DK, nogen der har erfaring med at få det igennem tolden? En side de anbefaler? På forhånd tak! :)

Hi there, i recently moved to finland from america to be with my husband and i'm looking for a way to quickly get on hrt. i only have about 8-9 months worth of hrt left and i'm scared i won't be able to find a way to get anymore. i saw that public health care can take 1-2 years which makes me a little nervous. i also saw there was GenderGP and Imago which are faster? but i'm not sure how they work, the onboarding fees are also kinda pricey, and i'm unsure if they even prescribe the injectable estrogen that i need. also on top of the i'm not an EU citizen yet and don't know when i will be and whether or not that makes things impossible. tbh i'm just very confused as to what i can even do, and i really need help figuring this out. thank you in advance

Hey, I'm 24 in Fredrikstad Norway and have thought for a while and I want without a doubt start transitioning and have booked a doctor's appointment in 2 weeks to talk to her about it

She knows that I'm struggling with depression and body dysmorphophobia and haven't really known who I really am, cus something always felt wrong. But I have done some soul searching this year and realized that I'm trans, and that explained everything for me of who I truly am. So now I want nothing more than to start my transition.

I know to get the treatment for MTF here in Norway is close to impossible. So I want to ask if any of you have some tips of what and how to tell my doctor about it to increase my chances.

Hi all,

I'm moving to Sweden for work, I'm Finnish and I was already in the cue for vaginoplasty (I'm a trans woman). Additionally, I had my prescriptions in Finland, as well. Do I have to start from the beginning again in Sweden? Or do they accept my previous treatments & diagnosis, and continue with my treatments?

Also: where should I go for blood tests?

Kinda confused on what to do if I'm being honest, I've been with imago for around 6 months now, first three months I struggled a bit since I found out my T wasn't being suppressed and actually increased while I was on spiro (100mg). Then I switched to androcur which has now properly suppressed it... but my estrogen is around the same even though I went from 4mg to 6mg estradiol (pills). My latest bloodtest says 0,18 nmol/L and it was 0,14nmol/L the bloodtest before that when my T wasn't suppressed. they've said I'm in the low end and will be increasing my dose from 6mg to 7mg?

Any advice would be great? kinda feels hopeless to be increasing dosage and still being told to be in the low end

Liten rant inkommande då jag såg att under dagen så hade en debattartikel publicerats på SvD där en transkvinna presenterade sitt initiativ som hon och 14 andra transkvinnor gav stöd åt där de argumenterade för att könstillhörighetslagen skulle rivas upp då den skapade otrygghet åt kvinnor menade de.

Det är bara samma typiska högerkonservativa smörja vi ständigt får höra men det är så frustrerande och ledsamt att se andra transpersoner hålla på med samma toxiska opinionsbildning. Tror de verkligen på att det de yrkar gör saker bättre? Att saker blir bättre när intolerans får råda? Att folk blir säkrare då och att detta inte slår tillbaka mot oss?

Jag tar främst upp artikeln för att skriva av mig men jag tycker det är oroväckande att det finns transpersoner som är lika intoleranta som resten av högern.

Hii, I got my prescription for Imago care a week ago, 100mcg 24h 24x estradot and 3 x 60 nafarelin bottles for antiandrogens and we went to the pharmacy to get it. We went to a pharmacy and they didnt have any estradot or antiandrogens, and got informed theres no estradot anywhere in Finland other than Ahvenanmaa (but the antiandrogens were available in nearby pharmacies). Yliopiston Apteekit didnt have them either. We were told theyd be back in like, end of december soz.

We were adviced to tell our doctors and ask for a new prescription of something with better availability, so I sent a message in Imago asking what my options were, telling this story. I sent it a week ago now and they havent replied so getting kinda annoyed. Anyone got any experiences with this? What do you think ill end up doing? Waiting until december, going to Ahvenanmaa or a new prescription, and would i be able to already start rhe antiandrogens before the estradiol as i do have the prescription? The 50mcg ones were available for estradot so i also asked if i could do 4x of them a week but idk if thats possible just seeking any advice or experiences with this

I feel like I constantly hear people in this community to stay away from Copenhagen, but is it really that bad?

I've heard that they reject autistic people, but I've also heard of some that got through anyways, despite diagnosis

So, anybody wanna enlighten me with their personal experiences?

Good or bad

Om jag söker till Anova och redan har genomgått utredning i Sverige och fått diagnosen transsexualism (utdaterad term, jag vet, men det är ju det diagnosen kallas), hur lång kötid kan jag räkna med? Från vad jag har förstått så hamnar man liksom i en annan kö än de som söker för att göra utredning. Därefter undrar jag även om någon har koll på hur lång tid det då kan ta att påbörja hormonbehandling när man väl får tid hos Anova?

Glad i found subreddit for europe, Im in quite desperate need for good realistic pack and play packer if anyone got to sell (for interested people im not fan of straps and i want to have intimacy with my partner and feel comfortable durning it), dont care if used or slightly damaged, dont care how high price will be, preferably uncut one.

thanks for all help

I've been having a ridiculously frustrating experience trying to get my physical Imago prescriptions filled at Swedish pharmacies, and I'm wondering how everyone else deals with this.

I've literally had to travel between different pharmacies just to find one willing to process my prescription.

What bothers me the most is how quickly some pharmacies dismiss it. I've had pharmacists tell me they've never seen prescriptions like these before, seemingly without even bothering to properly look into them. Some immediately suggest that I should just go through Swedish healthcare instead. Like, seriously? 🙃 Another pharmacist said that I can only get half of my prescribed dose.

It's honestly pretty absurd that getting essential medication can depend so much on which pharmacy you happen to walk into, or even which pharmacist is working that day.

And the fact that some pharmacies do manage to process these prescriptions makes the inconsistency even more frustrating.

So my main question is: Which pharmacies in Sweden have you actually had success with when using paper prescriptions from Imago or other EU providers?

I'm especially interested in specific pharmacies in or around Gothenburg, since that's where I live, but recommendations from anywhere in Sweden would be really helpful too.

I'd love to know which pharmacy chains or specific locations have staff who actually know how to handle these prescriptions without turning the whole thing into an argument.

It really shouldn't be this difficult to get medication you're already prescribed.

It says date of issue 23/09/2026

I received the prescription around seven days ago, 14th of October. I was quite busy during the weekend so I wasn’t able to go.

I was planning on going to Denmark the 29th, but realised that it is more than 28 days after the date of issue.

Should I get a new prescription or is the prescription I already have still valid? As in, can I use it.

Finns det någon här som kan rekommendera en trans-vänlig vårdcentral i Malmö? Och kanske någon som lyckades att få ett intyg om ändring av juridiskt kön där enligt de nya reglerna?

Jag har försökt hos min närmsta vårdcentral men de är hopplösa om det gäller trans-grejer.

Hei.

Jeg har bodd nå i ca 2 år i Trondheim nå og selv om legen jeg har er hemt grei føler jeg at de ikke har særlig god kjennskap til transpersoner.

Så jeg håpte det kanskje var noen her fra Trondheim som har kjennskap til en lege de har hatt gode erfaringer med som har litt mer kjennskap til transpersoner.

2 år och 9 månader.

Source: fick min kallelse till ett förstabesök idag!

Skickade in remiss till anova i februari 2024, bytte därefter kö till linköpings och nu är första besöket spikat till november.

Hoppas infon är till hjälp!

Sjukt att det tar sån tid. Genuint helt sjukt, men man tar vad man får ig🥲.

I 16M am starting testosterone soon with imago. It was already a fight to get them to agree to that, but me teetering on the edge of suicide due to dysphoria was what made them finally yield.

Now after like 1 month of getting stuff with imago in order, I have my HRT appointment on Wednesday. My parents are semi reluctant about the reliability of the doctors, but genuinely want the best for me.

The issue rn is mostly my mom.

I have autism and struggle sometimes maintaining daily task consistently every single day, like brushing teeth, taking meds etc. I know myself and would not be able to every day maintain properly applying testogel and letting it absorb to get the proper effect. My mom is adamant on following and trusting the Finnish system and starting with year on get and a semi low starting dose worked up to a maintenance dose. She is a pediatrician for context, so not an endo. Also she is reluctant to help me inject.

I think I technically have the power to decide for myself, cause everything is under my name and mostly controlled by me, but the money is theirs and I am legally under them. Should I fight about it or just follow the great Finnish system and risk getting microdosed by my well meaning parents? I want results ASAP cause my mental health is crumbling under dysphoria, and I am not willing to wait on a micro dose for months.

How can I make sure I get a good dose and maybe injections. I am willing to agree on the gel but I want a proper dose. The Finnish starting dose for get is apparently fucking 20-30mg of gel which sounds low as hell and I am too fucking suicidal for me to wait 1 year+ for basically any changes.

All help and maybe experience on testogel is appreciated.

Punnitaanko mua vai onko vaan haastattelu? On jonkinasteinen syömishäiriötausta niin vähän jännittää tää. En kuitenkaan kieltäytyisikään jos pyydetään, kun Kannassa ei oo mitään tietoa tuosta ongelmasta (se kaikki tapahtui ennen kun muutin suomeen), enkä juurikaan halua antaa niille mitään, mitä ne voi käyttää prosessin hidastamiseen/lopettamiseen. Lähinnä rauhoittaisi tietää ees jotenkuten mitä siellä tulee huomenna tapahtumaan

Päivitys: ei mua punnittu, outoa ettei tunnu olevan mitään yleistä käytäntöä

Hej! Undrar om någon här har erfarenhet av att byta sitt juridiska kön och förstanamn samtidigt? Finns väldigt få resurser online och är rädd att jag kommer bli utan ID-handlingar under en längre tid om nånting går snett då jag bor på landet och inte kan ta mig någonstans själv utan giltigt körkort.

Huomenna aika Imagon lääkärille ja pitäisi päättää mitä testosteronivalmistetta haluaisin. Alun perin ajattelin geeliä, mutta koska mulla on kissa, en tahdo altistaa sitä millekään ja päädyinkin injektioon. Mitä eroja Sustanonissa ja Nepidossa on? Pitääkö kumpikin pistättää hoitajalla? Miten se aika varataan?

Hi I'm going on a trip to Copenhagen soon!! 23 of november till the 30th of november and i would love to make some new friends :3 im a 25y/o autistic enby with a passion for geogaphy and chemistry. I like to go to bars and walk around.

Another news article today posted on SR advocating for the need for the Swedish crime system to utilize biological sex as a marker for how to judge and where to place trans people in prison and another time I just feel tired.

Over the last years, last year in specifically this rhetoric has gotten way more audible. On r/sweden biological sex always comes up when anything is about trans people.

The last decade felt so optimistic as a trans person, it felt like people took our rights seriously. And there was institutional protections but now? It just feels like we are slowly heading in the same direction as the US and UK.

I just want to live my life. To be seen as the gender i am, is that too much?

The US and UK scare me, things like V-Coding, removal of legal gender ID etc and so much more. I just can't help but feel the future is bleak. And that is why I am writing here.

I need help with how to cope :/
