Haven Park and A Short Hike are both pretty cute and cozy

Blahaj_Blast, good to see you again :D

I can only imagine how nice that must’ve felt, I’m so happy for you^^

At least I didn’t find another one I like better, so I guess that counts^^

I was going to comment about deliberately playing as a woman in video games after some introspection, then I realized who made this post^^

Gotta be safe, especially when you know for a fact there might be complications.

I’ll make sure to check whether there is anything in my family that could prevent me from doing it, and I hope the endocrinologist will make sure to ask the right questions concerning these things.

I’ve used that site before, it hasn’t occured to me to look for informed consent over there.

Thanks for the reminder!

I’ve also asked at a local consultation office that already helped me out by giving me a list of therapists a while ago.

They seem informed and knowledgeable, so we’ll see what they say

I’m in Germany, and as far as I know, an official diagnosis is required. Should include a minimum of six appointments/therapy session, after which they write out the diagnosis that they finally sign off on, officially recommending hrt.

Apparently, some doctors prescribe hormones on an informed consent basis, but I haven’t found much info supporting that this is true over here.

I really can’t complain as much as others, to be fair. But in some specific instances it’s just infuriating.

Thank you so much!

I hope I have at least a possible outlook on the diagnosis when I’m there for this first visit.

Most therapists that have anything to do with gender identity have waiting times of a year at the very least. The majority can’t even put new patients on a waiting list in good conscience.

If only health insurance would approve more therapists, at least I could then see a reason why they’re jacking up their prices every few months.

I’ll shoot the endo a quick email, I guess. Though their page explicitely states that they want an official psychological diagnosis.

Oh well, can’t hurt to ask

I did come across an info brochure that said that some doctors in Germany do actually prescribe hormones based on an informed consent process.

But further research was not at all insightful, so I’m still unsure whether this is an actual possibility for me or not

I’m in Germany.

Healthcare is generally pretty good, but once you need certain specialists…
Well, be prepared to wait.
