Cishet Norwegians love to take pride in how progressive our country is on LGBTQ rights, but either don't care or come up with excuses when you mention the fact that 70% of trans people get refused gender affirming care by the healthcare system, and that non-binary people are automatically rejected because the government doesn't even recognize their existence. :norway-cool:
The only reason I was able to start HRT today is because I went DIY and ordered hormones online instead
Congratulations on starting hrt! im sorry it isn't under better circumstances.
i always wondered, if you diy and then get access to the official system how do they handle that? logically, they should be more likely to help, since you're going to be taking hormones either way and they are better positioned to monitor things, but i imagine reality is t logical.
So, the thing is that there's only one hospital in Oslo that's allowed to give gender affirming care to trans people, and the people there really don't like it when trans people get access to HRT in any other way. They only begrudgingly started accepting people doing DIY after the government forced them to do so a decade ago, and before then they would just reject you the moment they found out. But since they don't handle trans people on an individual basis everyone still has to go through the exact same bullshit requirements before they'll actually give you any meaningful help
