Un ami proche vient de nous annoncer la transition de sa soeur. Nous avons lu et apprécier "Appelez moi Nathan" et j'aime beaucoup les strips de Sophie Labelle. Auriez vous d'autres recommandations de BD que nous pourrions offrir dans notre groupe d'amis que cette annonce bouscule et qui se posent tout plein de questions (et pas forcément les bonnes à mon avis).
d'avance merci

Debian's Git Transition

I don't reflect upon this often enough, but I am SO stoked to live within #Australia's medical system, as flawed as it is.
Public health gender services at #RWBH in #Brisbane took a trauma-minimising approach toward my #transition. Rather than taking the intervention that my naieve 37-year-old had presumed - top surgery & breast implants - they gently educated me that maybe #hormones would be worth thinking about, and that oestrogen doesn't impact testosterone production or erectile function at low doses.
Cut to 4.5 years later and I am living joyfully and fully integrated in my #enby #trans body - no prosthetics, natural 'A' cup #breasts - taking 6.75mg oestrogen & 200mg progesterone daily. My hormonal system is that of a "normal" cis female. My sex drive was decimated in years 2-3, but I have learned to drive this new vehicle in ways that have surprised and delighted me.
Thanks, 'Straya. You're fucked up, but in this aspect you've done me a great service.
Being trans costs me about $60/mo, and if I were still just doing E that number would be halved 🤟🏻

PSA for my US trans friends: there's a Telehealth HRT clinic called QMed (QueerMed) that serves adults and minors in 47 states (excluding DC, unfortunately). They accept lots of private insurance (but not medicare/medicaid), and also offer a payment plan that covers appointments and lab tests for people without good insurance.
Their program is great for people going stealth or living in unsafe environments, as they don't need referrals or anything else from your primary doctor. They send all lab orders to a LabCorp location of your choice, and prescriptions are sent to any pharmacy. (including mail-order pharmacies and chains like Walgreens and CVS that will ship your meds for a small fee.) If necessary, the entire process can be private and zero-contact except for the labs.
They work with transfem, transmasc, and non-binary people, and many of their staff are themselves trans! They follow WPATH SOC-8 and target modern (cis-equivalent) hormone levels, while still being flexible enough to work with whatever your personal goals are. In my experience, their target seems to be "whatever makes you feel best within safe limits". With me, they've been willing to explore non-standard doses, injection schedules, and hybrid approaches as long as I can provide research showing it's effective or at least safe.
I can't speak to the transmasc experience, but I first started seeing them as a fem-aligned non-binary person who was already on oral Estradiol, Progesterone, and Spironolactone at mild doses. They had no issue with that, and later helped me increase those doses as I explored whether more "female" hormone balance would feel better. (still as part of a "non-binary" hormone plan!)
When I eventually realized I was binary transfem, they were just as understanding and helpful. They suggested changing Estrodiol forms to stabilize my levels at higher doses, and later helped me transition to injections when Spiro stopped working and other T blockers weren't an option for health reasons. (side note: they were actually willing to prescribe puberty blockers as an anti-androgen, but insurance wouldn't cover them and I couldn't afford the cost. I still think it's cool that they were forward-thinking enough to even offer that option, though!) I want to emphasize that I was not an easy patient for injections. I had severe needle-phobia, was clueless about the process, and proceeded to freak out many times over non-issues as I slowly learned how to inject. Through all that, they were patient, supportive, and never made me feel bad for panicking. Eventually I figured it out and even cured my needle phobia, for which they celebrated with me.
Now that I've finally achieved stable levels at the dose that feels best to me, they've let me transition to long-term HRT maintenance. This means 12-month prescriptions, infrequent tests, and minimal appointment requirements. This is something I was rather worried about, as my last provided never allowed long-term maintenance for various reasons. But with that, I'm now fully onboarded into the program and can speak to the whole experience. My overall opinion: QMed is the best HRT provider I've used, and the entire process has been smooth, flexible, and affirming.

I love Grand Central
#ThingsYouCantUnsay #trans #transition
I love Grand Central - the people watching, the mixture of humanity from across the globe. Women, their bodies in motion as they stride, stroll, pose, eat, sip, run, wave, sit, hug, kiss, exist. My body *loves* motion.
I’ve been in transition for about two and a half years, and every day I make choices about how to inhabit my body in ways that affirm me and that change my body to be more how she wants to be.
On the first day of my transition, I would have swapped any cis girl for her body. I had no idea what my body was capable of.
Today, I feel gender envy for some girls, but I have such a deep connection with my body and trust in who I am, I wouldn’t swap my body for anyone else’s.
I love who I am, who I’m becoming, and, with some pain, who I’ve been. Some days it’s harder than others, but it’s totally worth it.
I love me.
I love Grand Central

From VS Code to Helix
A Rustacean colleague kept singing Helix's praises. I discarded it because he's much smarter than I am, and I only ever use vim when I need to fiddle with files on a server. I like when things "Just Work" and didn't want to bother learning how to use Helix nor how to configure it.

Please boost for reach!
I just saw a few things:
∘ Psytrans, my Dutch Genderclinic is now contracted with four health-insrance providers: Menzis (mine), OWM Zorgverzekeraa Zorg en Zekerheid, CZ / Ohra / Nationale Nederlanden, and ONVZ. That means you no longer need a (non-existing) restitutie-policy anymore to get full coverage from your health-insurance!
∘ Today was one of the days where they announced whether they have space and they did not have any. This sounds bad, but it means that there is a pretty good chance that they will have space next month! (Previous period was also three months between opening the list.)
⇒ If you have Genderdysphoria in the Netherlands and need an official diagnosis for access to care, you have a real chance to get a pretty reasonable offer, if you sign up on their website, on the 6th of october at 09:00:00 (sharp!!!), since it’s first-come-first-serve to get on their rather short 3 month waiting list!
(Seriously though: when I say “sharp”, I mean it. This is competitive and pretty much the only official place in NL with this kind of deal, do not be a minute late or there is a very real chance that it will be too late!)
