Finland wanted you to be sterile before allowing you to change your gender, they literally just changed the law before I legally got the diagnosis finalized so that was great.
also if you bring this up to the doctors they're like "
Well HRT makes you sterile anyway." which is a hilarious way to miss the point. Also it definitely wasnt forceful sterilization because no one was forcing you to do it! Being deadnamed and misgendered forever is totally a cool price to pay for not wanting to be sterile. 
Are DOCTORS really pushing the hrt-makes-you-sterile lie, I'm not even shocked just really disappointed
they sure be
most of the time i feel like I have to actually diy with the hrt that i can buy cheaply over the counter now, cuz these fucknuts dont know what the fuck they're doing
OVER THE COUNTER
but ime that is usually the case, many doctors are outright incompetent.
Can confirm. I'm a med student here in Denmark and my fellow students know nothing about trans people. I know some straight up transphobes studying medicine too, but mostly I've just heard ignorant/misinformed takes, although luckily it's not something that's talked about often.
honestly as long as they keep the hrt coming and the bottom surgeon isnt a fucking intern I'll manage
once the wait times are over anyway
No that's true, and uncritical support tbh.
The healthcare staff in charge of gender affirming care in the Nordic countries are honestly wack. I heard a story from a trans woman here in Denmark at one of the gender clinics who was recommended a circumcision instead of an orchiectomy to alleviate dysphoria when she specifically wanted to get a referral for an orchiectomy😵💫
LMAO
wack is an understatement
Yaa they are truly awful. They can’t be trusted and the usual way to go about it is to never disclose anything unnecessary. Especially when it comes to the approval process here you should never disclose any mental health issues as you are then likely to be denied gender affirming care.
I was met with a threatening attitude from the doctor at the clinic I go to for DIYing. She told me that if I didn’t follow their HRT regimen it could have consequences.
That type of person is downright fucking evil. I really think
It's so fucking stupid too because of course dysphoria and such cause mental health problems, transition helps that!!! And plus people just have mental health issues unrelated sometimes, needing a clean bill of health is pure gatekeeper dogshit.
What the fuck.
Down with the cis.
Cis people are so fucking weird
I'm disappointed too, that'd be cool (for me personally).
I mean theoretically if you were to scarf really unhealthy amounts of cypro, Idk. But yeah resilient sadly.
