From your first visit to a doctor saying you want to be referred to a gender clinic to getting top surgery, how long was that? I’ve been referred to sandyford a year ago and I’ve heard nothing :(

GIC referral from my GP was in may 2016, my initial GIC appointment was april 2017, top surgery referral September 2018 then finally top surgery January 2020. Unfortunately I believe the waiting lists for GICs are currently years long, although I’m not sure about Scotland. Might be an idea to give them a ring or email just to check you’re in the system.

2 years post op 🥳

Terrible lighting, dirty mirror and a messy room but today I’m 1 year post op. Finally feel like I’m getting somewhere 🥳

The first pride was a riot, more specifically a riot against police violence. Trans women of colour like Marsha P. Johnson paved the way for the celebration of pride today. You cannot celebrate your pride this month, or any month if you aren’t also supporting Black Lives Matter and the riots going on against police violence right now. Us white LGBTQ+ need to stand up for our black siblings and their rights, their struggles. We need to amplify their voices and show any support we can.

Pre t vs 1 year on t - and it’s only just the beginning!

Start of 2018 vs the end of 2018 (and 9 months on testosterone). Reminding myself that change does happen.

6 months on t and feeling good 💉

1 day vs 6 months on testosterone voice comparison. It’s fair to say I’m one happy man ☺️

I got my top surgery referral!

So today I had my second opinion for top surgery at the GIC and they are more than happy to refer me for surgery! I’ve picked Mr Rubin as my surgeon so now I’ve just got to wait 6-12 months...
