Resources for an elective hysterectomy please
Dysphoria and rant want an obgyn that is trans friendly/JUST LET PEOPLE DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH THEIR BODYYY Rant: resources for elective hysterectomy So I realized in 2018 I wanted a hysterectomy. I got turned away three different times and it was tough and embarrassing. The nurses all looked at me like I was batshit crazy. I googled and googled and googled but barely anything pops up for elective hysterectomies OR for trans friendly OBGYN. Getting the diagnosis of gender dysphoria was a huge deal for me in terms of hysterectomy. Iāve been on testosterone for about a year now but wonder if I made a mistake. A hysterectomy could have helped all this. I found Dr. Luikenaar but the crazy part is if I wasnāt on a trans guyās Instagram I would have never found her! She is a trans AND non binary OBGYN. Why is it so hard to find names of doctors and resources?

These are redacted scans of my testosterone letter from May 2017 (I started T in June 2017), my top surgery letter from September 2017 (I got top surgery in October 2017), and my hysterectomy letter from May 2018 (Iām getting a hysto in July 2018) if anyone is curious about how they can look.Ā Click on the image to make it larger.
The recommended content of the referral letter for feminizing/masculinizing hormone therapy is as follows:
The clientās general identifying characteristics
Results of the clientās psychosocial assessment, including any diagnoses
The duration of the referring health professionalās relationship with the client, including the type of evaluation and therapy or counseling to date
An explanation that the criteria for hormone therapy have been met, and a brief description of the clinical rationale for supporting the clientās request for hormone therapy
A statement about the fact that informed consent has been obtained from the patient
A statement that the referring health professional is available for coordination of care and welcomes a phone call to establish this. For providers working within a multidisciplinary specialty team, a letter may not be necessary, rather, the assessment and recommendation can be documented in the patientās chart.

I hope to get the same letters one day!!

New concept: Lets support all trans people and not just the ones we find attractive.

Iām writing this from my own perspective; not to speak for the transgender community as a whole. This is MY experience being female-to-male transgender.
Ā Ā A couple years in, the excitement fades. When your surgeries are done, when your hormones are stableā¦all youāve got to look forward to now is the rest of your life as a man. Something that used to excite me now scares meā¦.. There are these unspoken expectations you feel like you have to live up to as a man. The stereotypical muscular, tall, thrilling gentleman who females drop to their knees for and society deems strong, capable, and promising of success. I am none of those thingsā¦& while somedays I am jealous of this, I donāt hate myself for it either. I know who I am is something this world has never seen and needs to open their eyes to. Maybe there are more like me out there, just waiting for me to tell my story so they can be free too.Ā
Ā Ā My fingers are bruised and bloody from climbing the walls people build before letting me in or trying to understand me. All because I am transgender. Iāve shed so many fuckin tears over people who I genuinely love and would walk to the ends of the earth for; just for them to refuse to step an inch in any direction to see the beauty in me. I act like it doesnāt hurt but there have been nights I laid awake in my bed with the worst ache in my chest or standing in the shower letting the angry tears outā¦.. Because in case you missed it, BOYS CRY TOO. Stop making them feel like theyāre a āpussyā or āgayā just because they arenāt afraid to feel. I feel everything.Ā Iām just someone who is tired of acting like I donāt. Being transgender is so fucking beautiful and I want to share that with the rest of this fucked up world. There is so much more happiness in me and my lifeā¦Iām so grateful or my transition and all Iāve been able to accomplish in three years. However, I thought that by transitioning people would finally see me for who I truly am and they just, donāt.
Ā Ā I got my heart broken, bad, 7 months ago. I had a perfect life, perfect fianceā (as in, someone who loved and accepted me without even a question in their mind and made me feel like I was a king) and a son. Something I always wanted in life coming from a broken family. I spent my first two years of transition so loved and accepted that I was clueless that the rest of the world wasnāt going to hold me in their arms the same way. When I went through that breakup I learned just how cruel the world really was. Maybe it was because I lost my protector and I was on my own for the first time in my male lifeā¦maybe it was a hard lesson the universe thought I needed to learn to survive. I was met with the occasional person who would tell me I would never be aĀ ārealā man. That being trans was a mental illness, despite the fact that living as a female there wasnāt a single day I wanted to be alive. I didnāt even know days without depression or anxiety existed until testosterone was coursing through my body. I was met with people who would fall in love with me just to say that the 16 inches of scars across my chest or what I didnāt have behind my zipper was enough to make them forget the fire they felt when they saw a glimpse of my soul. I would have many public outings where Iād size myself up to every man around me and compare everyĀ āflawā in my mind or every possible way I would never be good enough or societyās idea of what a man should be. Itās exhaustingā¦living up to every expectation of everyone who believes you must fit a check list of traits in order to be man enough.
Ā Ā This summer, I went from 500 facebook friends to about 5,000 just from a specific profile photo I had and a few public stories about my transition. I went from being lonely at night flipping over an empty phone to hundreds of messages in my inbox I couldnāt even keep up with. People acted like I was something to be praised when in reality my sense of fucked up humor they all loved and my so-called strength in sharing my story came from trying to heal some of the worst pain imaginable. Every day I am told how brave and how incredible I am for transitioning, but Iām not. There was no other choice for me but to be the man I knew I needed to be..just to survive. But brave? It was the easiest thing Iāve ever done. I never second-guessed a shot or surgery. Iād never take it back. Going through my transition wasnāt the hardest part of it allā¦other human beings were. Their expectations, their judgments, their fake love, their comparisons, their ignorance.Ā
Ā Ā So here I am. Almost 27 years old, 3 years into my transition, and I still feel like nobody knows me. I am more than being the guy thatās transgender and who ādoesnāt even look like he is.ā I am more than the humor I use daily as a band-aid. I am more than you will ever know. I can write poetry like you wouldnāt believe⦠I canāt go more than a few hours without listening to music and half the time itās some āgirlyā shit no guy would be caught dead listening to but I vibe with itā¦Iām emotional, Iām vulnerable. I cry over the sad parts of movies. I believe inĀ āthe notebookā type of love even though everyone claims it doesnāt exist. I care about my appearance and stand in front of the mirror for 30 min in the morning taking care of myself. I have OCD and hate being dirty and love a clean house. The best part? Iām a STRAIGHT man who also loves UFC, sports, my beard more than most human beingsā¦big trucks, saying the word fuck as a form of expression for everything and wearing my timberland boots with every outfit even if it just isnāt meant to go together. I am not this cocky, untouchable guy everyone makes me out to be. I am a walking contradiction in the best way possibleā¦and I refuse to hide it or change who I am just to fit in this fucked up worldās idea of what it means to be a man. To me, being a man is being fearless in the pursuit of life. Very few will understand me, very few will dare to love me, but everyone will know Iām not fucking ashamed of the body Iām in or the soul that inhabits it.Ā
I want a hysterectomy and doctors in America hate trans people and thatās just a fact
Dysphoric Dungeon
I went on birth control because I do not want to bleed anymore, but I still spot every now and then I feel dysphoric and trapped on my own body.
Vlog Squad Gossip
Matt is a dog. He seems like the kind to act innocent so that he can appear a certain way but is a douchebag behind closed doors. What a poser
Low key felt that Matt was slut shaming Tana when heās basically doing the same thing
if anyone in that room was a slut it was matt king lol
Itās crazy how slutty Matt is and how he plays people. I NEVER would have pegged him as that kind of person he seems to sweet and innocent. My first impression of him was that he was a happy go lucky flower child who would never hurt anyone. Thatās so far from the truth he treats girls like toys
Iām over One Direction?
I guess this all started when I heard about the break one direction was going to be taking this year. I wasnāt actually devastated upon hearing the news and this surprised me. If I am ever asked who the very first love of my life was I would diffidently say these five boys. I used to stay up light with my iPod under the covers reading fan fiction under their hashtag on Instagram and I would randomly google their names to see what they were up to. I would make up fantasies and scenarios that were completely bizarre and my head and they would be so well thought out that I actually felt as if I truly did know them. I had one where I was a remember of the team and Niall fell in love with me. I ended up getting in an accident and being paralyzed from the waist down and he took a year off to take care of me. That was one my darker fantasies and I didnāt even know fourteen year old me has such a side to me.
I would even feel weird when others spoke about them. Itās sort of like when someone speaks of your best friend so fondly that they make it sound like theyāre best friends with them as well. I always felt like that when One Direction was brought up. I felt like someone was trying to take my best friends from me. It felt weird and wrong and I never really told anyone about it because it seems deranged and physitic, but I always felt that way. I felt like anyone else who ever thought they could possibly be a bigger fan than me was only kidding themselves. I went through a faze when I was fourteen when I decided I over them and I donāt know why. I think I was so obsessed that it was beginning to concern me and I decided to move on.
The thing was, I just couldnāt. I still thought about them all the time and I still ended up watching countless hours of their interviews or funny moments. It was like a toxic relationship that you refuse to walk away from. It was when I was content and not really looking to get over them that it happened.Ā
It was when Zayn left that I knew I didnāt have the love for them that I should. There was a time where news like this would have devastated me, but it was petty and annoying to me as all the otherĀ āgroundbreakingā news that the media feeds us. Iāve seen many tweets saying that they still have love for the boys, but itās like loving different people and I agree and I hate how saying this seems like such a negative thing because I have grown to and sometimes I kind of miss myself because I know I can never be that starry eyed little teenage girl loving someone so blindly and innocently because just as they have grown, I have as well. I know better to act like that now and I donāt think my guarded attitude comes from pain or some sort of harsh reality so much as it does from my understanding of how the world works and you canāt love someone like that from only seeing a version of them on a screen. Itās hard for me to let go still because I feel like I am letting go of a portion of myself as well. Five years is such a long time to love someone. Iām letting go of the portion of myself that loved blindly and that fantasized about things that would never occur and that lived vicariously through five teenage boys. I feel like I am letting that little girl go along with letting the boys go too.Ā
