Not feeling trans anymore?

Lately I’ve been feeling almost like I’m not trans anymore. I don’t feel cis sadly, but I don’t feel like that stereotypical trans guy anymore since having phalloplasty. Before chest surgery and bottom surgery I always felt like I had to explain myself to close friends and girls I dated or were interested in. I felt like I had to tell them that I’m trans to explain why I couldn’t take my shirt off or why I didn’t have a bulge. I constantly felt like I was the elephant in the room because my body was different than other guys. I felt like I was in this inbetween phase of my life for so long where I had this foreign body. When I meet people now or go out in public it’s not like that anymore. I don’t have this constant voice in the back of my head that tells me that I have to out myself or else they’ll find out some other way. I don’t sit in a room full of people and feel like a person who is transgender. I feel like I am finally able to navigate the world as I’m supposed to. Before surgeries I felt like girls that I was interested in always had to know I’m trans beforehand because I didn’t want to have to tell them after they were already interested in me and then it would be this huge thing and they would think I’m disgusting. Now that I’m post op, I don’t feel the need for that anymore. (I’m in a very happy relationship), but if I wasn’t, I wouldn’t feel the need to do this anymore. Not that I would lie if I was asked if I was trans, but I feel like I’d just be able to get to know someone on any sort of level, even just a friendship, and my trans history wouldn’t even be relevant. I don’t feel like holding that information back is lying anymore. Before it really felt like I was, and now it just doesn’t because my body feels so normal to me now. I don’t have to worry about all these tiny stupid fucking details of my life that medical transition has forced me to feel. I finally feel so free and aligned. I just feel like me. I wish I could put this into words that made more sense

News regarding my own specific part of GenderCare: I’m afraid I’m not taking on any new patients at present.

This is a temporary measure to allow me to concentrate on providing a high quality service for those already in my system. Internationally, demand for gender services is overwhelming and the other reason I’m having a break from new patients is to take time to consider the ways in which my area of GenderCare might adapt to meet this ongoing challenge in the future.

Updated information will be available, in due course, here and via Twitter (https://twitter.com/GenderCareDrL).

Depending on your objective, you may wish to contact other clinicians in GenderCare (http://gendercare.co.uk/how-to-use-gendercare.html) or you might have your GP refer you to an NHS gender service, such as Charing Cross GIC (https://gic.nhs.uk/referrals/).

Those who already have appointment dates will be seen and treated as usual.

Existing patients (those who have already been seen or offered an appointment date) should add “EXISTING PATIENT” to the subject line of email correspondence. GP and other urgent medical queries regarding existing patients can also be directed to [email protected] or telephone 07805 150909 (please leave a clear name and return number).

My apologies if you’ve been waiting for an appointment date or other definitive response; I appreciate this isn’t what you want to hear right now. Do watch this space for updates, though.

Spectrum outfitters is a new UK BASED company that is about to start selling binders

I know this damn website is so Americanised but PLEASE reblog this! Transmasculine people in the UK have to pay a ridiculous amount of money for shipping from America. This could change all that.

Support your UK trans community. Reblog this. Get the word out.

Transphobia

SJW: Male privilege is a thing.

A trans guy: As a male I disagree with that.

SJW: You’re trans, you don’t have male privilege.

Can’t you see how saying that is basically saying “you’re not really a man”? By telling a trans guy he doesn’t have ‘male privilege’ you’re telling him he’s not a male. And y'all call transmeds transphobic but then turn around and say shit like this. Ok.

Gender clinic: “you’re trans and want to transition? Ok, there’s only 1 year waiting list, 1 year of hormone blockers requirement and 6+ appointments that will be an additional 1-2 years waiting and additional appointments if you’d like top/bottom surgeries” Me:

Announcement from Transhealth

Dr Curtis of Transhealth made an announcement regarding the closure of Transhealth yesterday which may be of some interest for some of our followers who may be under his care or thinking of doing so.

Dr. Curtis announces today, Monday 5th June 2017, that after 12 years of operating Transhealth his intention is to discontinue the business.

This applies to the London Gender Clinic as well as the Hair Removal Clinic.

It arises due to a number of personal, professional, and business related reasons.

The clinics will continue as normal until:

The last date for the acceptance of New patients is 31st August

The last date for Gender Clinic appointments is Friday 15th December 2017

The last date for Hair Removal Clinic appointments is : Friday 22nd December

Care will be given to follow-up patients and hair removal clients as per the usual protocols.

In respect of the gender reassignment pathways, the same criteria will apply for referrals, follow up schedules and prescribing.

video game creators: it’s a wonderful time in history where games bring people together! multiplayer is in demand and the way of the future! co-op is the only way to go!

me: i’m begging you…….. please…….. give me back my story-driven single player games……………

prionailurus

This. So much this. Also, I refuse to play games that force me to group up with strangers to have access to and complete quests. If I can’t solo your game, it ain’t gonna happen. I’m fine with the *option* to work with others, but many outright require it and…nope.
