reading r/transnord, getting reminded how garbage our healthcare is for trans people.
I fucking hate the Nordic countries. I feel like my sole purpose in life is to escape from here.
cw: suicide
I'm gonna end up killing myself one day aren't I.So depressed. Every time I think about starting hrt I have so many doubts of whether I'm even trans. Both hrt (diy) and laser are expensive, I don't have a job, and the little I get from the municipality is only supposed to be used on basic necessities (yes, stfu, I know these are necessary for me, but I don't think they will agree). Clothes (if I could stop boymoding) is more money. There isn't any prospect for anything to change
::: spoiler spoiler
Its roughly 100USD per year for estrogen monotherapy, and it can be administered with insulin needles, if youre doing DIY. And the mutual aid stuff here could go a long way towards helping you get that. Im not trying to say you have to do it, but just that there is a path to getting hrt (from your comment it seemed implied that you werent getting hrt from a provider, hopefully i havent misunderstood).
Im sorry that money is such an issue, it sucks
OK, that isnt as much as I had worried, I hadn't fully looked into it. I can find the money, its not as big of a problem as I may have made it seem. Also I don't want to take mutual aid away from some of the others that need it more than me.
I'm not getting hrt edit: currently
