sadge, trans healthcare or lack thereof, dysphoria
Devastated atm. Not only am I feeling ugly and dysphoric today but I just found out that I am unlikely to get the actual healthcare support that I need from my local GIC anytime within the next few decades.
In early 2023, they said that they were seeing referrals from Jan 2019. As of the 5th June this year they have said that they are seeing referrals from JULY 2019.
It's taken them TWO AND A HALF HEARS to get through 6 months of referrals.

@gothodile I'm already on a small diy dose of estradiol and it's helping mentally, but I think I'm gonna up my dose soon.

At this rate it'll take decades before I get to my turn and I can't wait that long... when it was listed as five years I felt I could wait but now... I don't know anymore. I'm glad that I've at least been doing DIY but I can't deal with these negligent waiting times... I'm gonna have to go private... which isn't something I can easily afford.
Real fucking sad right now.
