Cicada Man temporarily delayed I was looking through fabric while trying to figure out what colors I wanted to use, found this fabric, and now I gotta make a disco toad (a discoad)

The discoad begins!

[tj-crochets]

so like I make a lot of plushies, and a lot of them are kinda weird, but sometimes I sew something and it's so delightfully strange I find myself cackling like a cartoon mad scientist while sewing it this was one of those times lol

[mortalityplays]

This is a dangerous sentiment for me to express, as an editor who spends most of my working life telling writers to knock it off with the 45-word sentences and the adverbs and tortured metaphors, but I do think we're living through a period of weird pragmatic puritanism in mainstream literary taste.

e.g. I keep seeing people talk about 'purple prose' when they actually mean 'the writer uses vivid and/or metaphorical descriptive language'. I've seen people who present themselves as educators offer some of the best genre writing in western canon as examples of 'purple prose' because it engages strategically in prose-poetry to evoke mood and I guess that's sheer decadence when you could instead say "it was dark and scary outside". But that's not what purple prose means. Purple means the construction of the prose itself gets in the way of conveying meaning. mid-00s horse RPers know what I'm talking about. Cerulean orbs flash'd fire as they turn'd 'pon rollforth land, yonder horizonways. <= if I had to read this when I was 12, you don't get to call Ray Bradbury's prose 'purple'.

I griped on here recently about the prepossession with fictional characters in fictional narratives behaving 'rationally' and 'realistically' as if the sole purpose of a made-up story is to convince you it could have happened. No wonder the epistolary form is having a tumblr renaissance. One million billion arguments and thought experiments about The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas that almost all evade the point of the story: that you can't wriggle out of it. The narrator is telling you how it was, is and will be, and you must confront the dissonances it evokes and digest your discomfort. 'Realistic' begins on the author's terms, that's what gives them the power to reach into your brain and fiddle about until sparks happen. You kind of have to trust the process a little bit.

This ultra-orthodox attitude to writing shares a lot of common ground with the tight, tight commodification of art in online spaces. And I mean commodification in the truest sense - the reconstruction of the thing to maximise its capacity to interface with markets. Form and function are overwhelmingly privileged over cloudy ideas like meaning, intent and possibility, because you can apply a sliding value scale to the material aspects of a work. But you can't charge extra for 'more challenging conceptual response to the milieu' in a commission drive. So that shit becomes vestigial. It isn't valued, it isn't taught, so eventually it isn't sought out. At best it's mystified as part of a given writer/artist's 'talent', but either way it grows incumbent on the individual to care enough about that kind of skill to cultivate it.

And it's risky, because unmeasurables come with the possibility of rejection or failure. Drop in too many allegorical descriptions of the rose garden and someone will decide your prose is 'purple' and unserious. A lot of online audiences seem to be terrified of being considered pretentious in their tastes. That creates a real unwillingness to step out into discursive spaces where you 🫵 are expected to develop and explore a personal relationship with each element of a work. No guard rails, no right answers. Word of god is shit to us out here. But fear of getting that kind of analysis wrong makes people hove to work that slavishly explains itself on every page. And I'm left wondering, what's the point of art that leads every single participant to the same conclusion? See Spot run. Run, Spot, run. Down the rollforth land, yonder horizonways. I just want to read more weird stuff.

[octobersfeast]

Do you have any suggestions for letting go and improving WITH your weird shit? I'm in university for Creative Writing and I haven't been taught SHIT other than how to engage with a text and how to continue to write at my highschool base-line level. No teaching, no instruction, only critiques of mine and my peers work that doesn't inform us of much in the long run.

I'm desperate for help, if you have Anything it's much appreciated. I'm asking because I felt seen in this post

[mortalityplays]

1. READ. Read widely, read deeply, read slowly when a text demands time. Seek out work that seems strange or challenging. If/when you need to pick up something that's deep in your comfort zone, read consciously. If a passage hits you as dense and difficult, ask yourself why: word choice? complex nesting of concepts? are you distracted, or did you misinterpret something a few lines back? If a passage feels easy and fun, ask yourself why: satisfying rhythm? clear set-up and follow-through? Look for experimental texts, read more poetry even if you don't want to write poetry. The more experienced you are with the vast flexibility of the written word, the more confident and natural your own experimentation will get.

2. Try things out. You don't have to show them to anyone. Sometimes a stylistic idea will get stuck in my head and I just have to write freeform for a couple of thousand words to see how it feels on the page. One time in college I was possessed by the urge to write the vilest, foulest, most unsympathetic and filthy first-person narrative just to figure out how it would actually read, so I scribbled out a couple of pages until it was out of my system. I never did anything with those passages, but they're in my repertoire now, I know how that material hits. I'm always comparing writing to chefing - not everything you cook is a restaurant meal. You can experiment with flavours in your own kitchen, where you are free to make something completely unpalatable and then toss it right out with a better understanding of the process.

3. Be less scared. This isn't just directed at you, it's directed at everyone, and at me. Someone I know once brought a personal piece of writing to a writer's group, about the way her mother's death affected her. Someone in the group was absolutely scathing about it, because they felt that the way she reacted to and wrote about the bereavement was inappropriate. What a horrible experience! What an awful, unhelpful critique. But it didn't shake her, because she knew what she had felt and was steadfast in her right to express it. Sometimes (often, even) criticism will come from angles that are literally just not relevant to what we've set out to do. Like I said in the original post, a lot of readers are kind of ambivalent or hostile to weirdness at the moment. But if weirdness is your goal, those people are simply not your audience. It's a lot easier said than done, but have faith in your own intentions and your own taste. Listen to criticism, but always ask yourself 'will this help me accomplish what I want this piece to accomplish?' It is not the end of the world to be temporarily misunderstood.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

wait. do terfs not know that feminizing hrt causes breast tissue to grow. do they think that every single trans woman with any sort of chest got implants. do they not realize that literally anyone with breast tissue can induce lactation. what. huh

well the thing about terfs is that they don't know anything, so jot that down

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

I'm learning that it is in fact news to many people that taking estrogen can cause breasts to grow and I really have to wonder... besties What is your understanding of hrt what do you think it does

[definitely-not-lordenglish]

Actually I’m adding my tags to the main post. Regardless of whether or not someone “should have” already known it, this information is important and people deserve to have a chance to learn (obviously this is aimed at people who are Actually looking to learn, not TERFs)

(Comic by xkcd)

Transcript of tags under the cut

If you didn’t know: HRT (both T and E) also redistribute the fat in your body to give it a more masculine/feminine frame.

E can cause erectile dysfunction. T can cause vaginal atrophy. There are ways to treat those things!

E unfortunately will not heighten your voice like how T lowers it BUT if I’m remembering and understanding correctly there are surgeries to alter your vocal cords to give your voice a more feminine sound

Transfem people on E experience a menstrual cycle! No blood obviously but emotions and cravings and even cramps can become present for a week or so each month

On E you may start sweating less. On T you may start more. Both ways your body odor can change

The texture of your skin and body hair can change too to become either softer or coarser depending on if you’re on T or E

T might cause your head hair to thin. If I’m understanding right I THINK E can help prevent that. E can thin out your body hair too. Unfortunately it won’t completely stop facial hair from growing and that’s why a lot of transfems get laser hair removal.

T MIGHT stop your periods but it’s not a gurantee

And also very important: T WILL NOT MAKE YOU UNABLE TO CONCEIVE. E WILL NOT MAKE YOU SHOOT BLANKS. HRT IS NOT CONTRACEPTION. What else uhhh

People on E are at higher risk for things like breast cancer and people on T are at higher risk for things like heart and blood problems, but that just comes with the territory. Cis women are at higher risk of breast cancer by virtue of having more breast tissue. Cis men are at higher risk of blood and heart problems by virtue of having thicker blood. So if anyone tries to scare you out of HRT by using those statistics: don’t let them. Again, it comes with the territory. (I actually don’t know if E thins out your blood and I couldn’t find anything at a quick search so if anyone knows I’d love to hear it!)

Oh yea kind of NSFW but T can cause your clit to get big (pretty damn big sometimes from some images I’ve seen) and E can cause your penis to shrink. Unfortunately I’m don’t know by how much, I’m sure it varies from person to person

All these effects can take different amounts of time to take place. I might be forgetting some things but this has been your crash course on effects of HRT.

And of course do your own research into these things! This is just a 101 for people who may not know. It’s funny sometimes to make fun of people for not knowing something we might consider basic knowledge but it’s more important to inform (as long as they’re acting in good faith obviously.) where’s that lucky 10,000 comic strip.

Aaaand I’m out of tags. Phew

[gneumatics]

Estrogen reduces atherosclerosis (hardened arteries) which is one of the reasons why people with more estrogen than testosterone have a lower risk of heart disease¹. This also means that post-menopausal people no longer have that reduced risk and need to be on the lookout for artery hardening and heart disease - this includes older cis women and trans masculine folks on T!

¹ White RE. Estrogen and vascular function. Vascul Pharmacol. 2002 Feb;38(2):73-80. doi: 10.1016/s0306-3623(02)00129-5. PMID: 12379953.

[lowpawly]

looking at any kind of trans supplies focused online shop is depressing because there will either be a complete absence of anything for transfems or like. a really sad transfem section with 5 items at the end of a list full of binders and packers and harnesses

[lowpawly]

on a queer sex positive online store. depressing

[xenasaur]

"nonbinary bodies" HMMMMMMM

[croifox]

My transfeminine body can be as nonbinary as any transmasc I'll fight any motherfucker who says different

[assortedinsanities]

thebreastformstore.com For breastforms + care, shapewear, wigs, shoes and jewlery

enfemmestyle.com For clothing, breastforms + care, shapewear, tucking and wigs

translife.uk For clothing, cosmetics, breastforms and tucking.

I get the frustration, but ultimately if you want stores that do sell things specifically for trans feminine people, searching for them and sharing them is the way to go.

If you are looking for lingerie style bras for a flat chest, those are marketed towards cis woman, who had cancer related breast reduction surgery.

And I get that it is frustrating that a lot of these thing are also marketed towards crossdressers, but the reason for this is the same as to why a lot of binders are marketed as "sports bras": sellers put every (vaguely) related term into their website in the hopes of selling to more people. Which obviously isn't great either, but at least I can better tolerate it, knowing it is marketing bullshit and not misgendering me for the sake of it.

[gemstonenostalgia]

Been a long time since I did the legwork of finding places but here's all my bookmarked lingerie brands that make lingerie for transfems and have transfem models.

Carmen Liu Lingerie - trans woman owned lingerie company that makes bras and panties specifically for transfems, also has plain cotton kids' underwear.

Juniper & Eve - cis woman owned from what I can tell but her starting point with the company was "make lingerie for a trans woman friend" and underwear types are sorted by style (flat front, gaff, or pouch front) rather than by gender.

Origami Customs - I kind of think of OC as more transmasc-focused but since I last checked their site they've added the option to select gusset width on non-gaff undies which I'm pleasantly surprised by. They also do custom sizing at no extra cost.

TomboyX also does breastform bras and tucking panties now but idk anyone who wears them so I can't comment on that specirfically. Just buying their underwear over the years I feel that the quality has dropped off while the prices have doubled. I get stuff on sale only. YMMV.

The only super specifically transfem

[rootscorrode]

Theres also Cantiq, which is a independent lingerie brand local to Los Angeles. https://www.cantiqla.com/

I learned about them when a friend invited me to a fashion show they were participating in that was catered specifically to trans women

[mxactivist]

Germany have just passed a law that allows trans, intersex and nonbinary people to change their names and genders with a simple admin task.

Congratulations, Germany! :)

Hi! Would it be possible to share my experience with binderme here, so it reaches a bigger audience? I bought a custom binder from them, because as they claim "sized binders won't fit bigger bodies" (which I know isn't true, many other offer binders up to 5 or 6 xl and they fit). A tailor took my measurements based on info from the website, yet when the binder came it was loose. I planned to use it for unofficial occasions like a walk since you can't send back a custom and get a refund. 1/2

The back of binder was made of not very elastic material, with a thin elastic band (similar to one in fem underwear) at the bottom, instead of good elastic panel for the whole back. That's what made it loose I think. Moreover, after three months it got even more loose - all was falling out of the bottom, when binder stayed above. I paid almost double the price of sized binder and it went to trash, cause it was unusable. Yet another brand trying to make money off of plus-size and queer people.2/2

That's awful, I'm sorry. Let's hope your warning can help someone else!

[transineurope]

Hello! I had top surgery in Aalborg a couple weeks ago and I was wondering if anyone knows how long I need to wear the compression wrap? I can remember if they said it's 4 or 6 weeks

It was six weeks where I had it done

Du skal gå med et stramt elastikbælte (binder) omkring brystkassen i ca. 6 uger (3 uger døgnet rundt og 3 uger i dagtid).

[transineurope]

Hello!

From Lithuania there!

I'm a new trans person (FTM)

I was wondering if you knew where i can buy a binder without the shipping costing a lot?

Or just where i could buy a binder!

If possible maybe a little explaining about the sizes and stuff?

Hey! Mod Emil back from the dead due to the Lithuanian anon lol;

My personal favorite is currently Spectrum Outfitters! I recently bought another one and the total cost was €52,90 EUR (including shipping, which was €7,95).

Spectrum Outfitters may be more on the expensive side, but the quality is really good.

Another option is GC2B. They're around the same price range as Spectrum. Last binder I bought cost £45.55 (with a £5.25 discount for Pride Month). There's also costs for the custom's office (muitinė). For some reason, my Spectrum packages never get stuck there though.

There's also BinderMe, they're based in Europe and their binders cost around ~€30 EUR. I haven't personally bought from them, but have a few friends who have and they say the quality is good/binds well.

There's also Underworks, Fytist & TransMissie.

For the sizes, I suggest getting a measuring tape and measuring your chest size & shoulder width. Both GC2B and Spectrum Outfitters have sizing guides: link & link.

Hope this helped!

Hi I just had an appointment to talk about top surgery in Aalborg, but I am concerned with retention of nipple sensation as I know the surgery they do won't allow that. Does anyone know if there are other places in Denmark that do the T-anchor type of top surgery instead of double incision with a nipple graft?

AFAIK only double incision and keyhole are performed in Denmark. During my communication with surgeons at Riget and at Odense Universitetshospital, only those two procedures were mentioned -- and once they'd measured my breasts, only double incision was offered. Here is Rigets information on top surgery.

Unfortunately I'm fairly sure that if you want another procedure, you'll have to go abroad and pay out of pocket. The public surgeons are only trained in a certain set of procedures so they tend to be slow to adopt new methods and private clinics still aren't allowed to provide gender affirming care.

It's worth noting that some people do regain a significant amount of sensation a while after double incision. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any numbers. Personally one of my nipples has more sensation than the other, which I suspect is due to some factors during the healing process. It is true that it's not at all the same as prior to surgery, although I do think it varies a lot.

-mod siggi

EDIT: If you want to go abroad for a procedure, it might be possible to get the state to cover some of that. If that's something you want to pursue, I'd contact LGBT Danmark for advice. You can also take a look at some of these links and see if there's a useful group in your area

[transineurope]

hej siggi! jeg skriver på vegne af min ven fra tyskland som bor hos mig og ville gerne transitionere i danmark. han har været ca. et halvt år på T gel (fra Tyskland), og har et dansk gult sygesikringskort, samt en dato for et møde med CKI til denne december (booket siden i sommers). p.t. er han meget depressiv omkring sine mulighed for især top operation i danmark. hvad kan du fortælle om dine oplevelser, ventetid, evt. muligheder?

Mit forløb hos CKI København startede med en række samtaler med en af deres behandlere, hvor hun spurgte ind til mit liv, min dysfori, hvordan jeg generelt havde det og hvilke behandling jeg var interesseret i af modtage. I mit tilfælde var det T og top operation.

Jeg kan ikke huske hvor mange samtaler der præcist var tale om, men efter disse samtaler blev min sag taget op i plenum, altså til et møde de forskellige faggrupper på CKI har med hinanden regelmæssigt, hvor de diskutere forskellige patienter og hvorvidt de mener man skal modtage den behandling, man har bedt om.

Dette er ofte hvor der forekommer en del ventetid, da de der fællesmøder enten ikke bliver hodlt så ofte eller de bare har så mange patienter at komme igennem, at det kan tage en del tid.

Jeg fik lov til at komme på T og til at komme på ventelisten til top operation. Det er min opfattelse at hvis de giver en lov til T giver de også en lov til top operation. Det er den samme vurdering der ligger bag begge dele så vidt jeg ved (selvfølgelig medmindre der ligger noge helbredsmæssigt i vejen). Jeg vil derfor ikke tro din ven skal være ekstra bekymret ift at få lov til top operation.

Selvom din ven har fået T gel i Tyskland, vil han nok stadig skulle igennem samme proces som mig, da de danske myndigheder foretrækker at lave deres egen vurdering. Dog vil jeg dog gætte på, at det kommer til at forbedre hans chancer.

Det skal dog også siges, at der er enorm stor forskel på behandlerne på CKI i København. Jeg var heldig at få en af de nyere behandlere, men jeg hører stadig skrækhistorier om nogle af dem fra den gamle skole, som stadig arbejder der. De historier jeg hører i dag kommer dog stortset alle sammen fra transkvinder. Jeg tør ikke fortolke for meget på det, men det er dog mit gæt, at de i dag er mindre stride over for transmænd sammenlignet med transkvinder.

Jeg har dog nogle diagnoser, som jeg tror hos andre behandlere end hende jeg havde, ville have spændt ben for mig. Min behandler nævnte autisme som den eneste diagnose, der ville være relevant, fordi CKI har en mærkelig idé om hvad autisme og specialinteresser er. Hvis din ven er autist eller har mistanke om at være det, ville jeg derfor foreslå at holde lav profil med det.

Hvis der er tale om CKI Aalborg skulle de være betydeligt bedre generelt, da den afdeling er åbnet for nogle år tilbage og altså ikke har nogle af de gamle tudser man finder på CKI København.

Ift top operation var jeg til en forsamtale på Riget og skulle så derefter selv sørger for at benytte det frie sygehusvalg, til at komme på venteliste i Odense i stedet for. Riget laver meget sjældent top operationer, mens ventetiden ved Odense Universitetshospital fra jeg kom på listen til jeg blev opereret vist var omkring halvandet år. Man kan også vælge Aalborg og måske et tredje stede, jeg lagde bare vægt på at Odense var tættere på hvor jeg boede.

Jeg har desværre ret svært ved at huske den præcise ventetid jeg havde i det tidlige forløb, men mener den overordneede tidshorisont er noget i den her stil:

Henvendelse til CKI sent i 2017 eller tidligt i 2018

Samtaler og godkendelse i løbet af 2018

Medicinske undersøgelser Marts 2019

HRT startet September 2019

Top operation November 2021

Tænker det meget vel kan være, at din ven kan få tiden cuttet lidt ned ved f.eks. ikke at skulle undersøges medicinsk forud for T, da han allerede er blevet undersøgt for det i Tyskland, men der sgu meget forhippede på "forsigtighedsprincippet" så hvem ved.

Det skal også siges, at jeg i første omgang var tilknyttet sexologisk klinik, inden CKI København blev oprettet i 2019 og der forekom noget rod fra deres side, der betød jeg mistede en tid og altså måtte vente ydeerligere 3 måneder eller noget i den stil.

Generelt er de tider man får hos dem ikke til at lave om på og der er lang tid i mellem dem.

Håber det hjælper! Hvis din ven gerne vil snakke med nogen om det personligt, har LGBT Danmark vejledning til rådighed.

[psychoticallytrans]

Hey. Large chest people that want it to be smaller and flatter. I have a tip for you.

I am a trans man. I have an h cup chest. That is not a typo, not a brag, and not an invitation to sexually harass me. This means I have about 4 pounds of breast. This means that binders do not work for me. There’s not enough structure in the compression to keep that much weight in place.

I wore a sports bra under my binder, for a time- it kept things in place, and the binder flattened. This isn’t really safe and I recommend against it. It also never actually got me looking masc- I tended to look like I had between a c or b cup. TransTape I discarded too- it’s just not sturdy enough.

Enter Enell. Specifically, the Enell Sport High Impact Bra.

I want you to look at the construction of that sports bra. It clasps in the front. This flattens the chest. And since it’s a sports bra designed for busty people, it LOCKS everything in place. When I wear my Enell sports bra, I do not bounce. It also gets me looking like I have an a cup at worst- and at best, when I layer, I actually look masc.

Admittedly, they’re not cheap. That one’s 66$. But I’ve tried even custom binders, and they don’t work as well as Enell. I was actually contemplating a custom built corset before I found Enell. Enell is also much, much safer than layering compression, since it is being used as intended (sort of). As a bonus, you can actually exercise in it- it’s a sports bra!

I will note that they use their own sizing system, so you will have to measure yourself.

Happy binding!

[psychoticallytrans]

I’d also like to note that you can ask for this even if you’re closeted and scared without raising a flag. Just say you want to take up running, or if you’re already sporty, that it’ll help with that. It’s technically not a lie- it’s a great sports bra.

[ruffboi-mags]

hell if you’re busty you don’t even need to be getting active, you can just say that you’re having back pain and want to try something new to keep them in place.

[transineurope]

Hi I’m live in Funen Denmark and I’m potentially not getting the surgery that I want (double mastectomy) what are the best private surgeon options for me outside the UK and Republic of Ireland?

Reportedly Reformklinniken in Malmö is willing to do top surgery without getting a note from a psychiatrist so they might be worth looking into.

The recommendation for private top surgery for Danes used to be at St. Josef Hospital in Troisdorf, Nothern Germany, but I don't know if that's up to date and I believe they do ask for a note from a psychiatrist.

These are two options close by, but I don't know if it being close by is a priority for you. It's difficult to say what the "best" private surgeon is for you without knowing more. That said, if any followers feel they can recommend a good surgeon, I encourage you all to do so in the notes!

If I were you, anon, I'd also contact the Funen LGBT org Lamda for advice more specific to your situation/where it's easier for you to have a dialogue about it:

Rådgivningen har åbnet hver mandag kl. 19:00 – 21:00

Du kan chatte med os ved at bruge chatfunktionen i højre hjørne, her på siden.

Du kan møde personligt op hos vores frivillige rådgiver i Lambdas lokaler. Indgangen til lokalerne er til venstre for Lambdas bar, gennem opgangen i Brogade 3. Der står Lambda på dørtelefonen og det er hér vi lukker dig ind.

Du kan også ringe til rådgivningen på telefon [phone]

Alle henvendelser behandles selvfølgelig anonymt.

If you want to do it digitally anyway, LGBT+ Danmark is another option.

hi! do you maybe know where in Poland (like when ordering stuff online, signing up for things like library cards etc) can you use your actual name instead of your deadname if you haven't changed it legally?

Hi :) Generally, you can use your name anywhere you don't have to confirm your identity with an ID card. So when ordering online you can fill your profile with any name, but the shipping address should contain the name that's on your ID if you're using the Polish Post (chances are you'll have to pick the item yourself and they check your ID). Couriers never check the name as long as someone's home to pick up the parcel and for InPost (paczkomaty) you can use any name. Although some couriers never show up with a parcel, just a note that they missed you and you have to pick up the parcel yourself. If a library is asking for your ID to sign up, I think they'll want your legal name, but maybe it's a case-to-case situation and some libraries may be able to put down your name - not the one from ID. If you're looking for a job you can put your name in CV - deadname will be needed only for signing the contract.

Hope this helps! mod Adam

Okay so I just got off the phone with them. I talked to a trans girl named Aurora & she was super helpful! She gave me a few doctors to talk to & encouraged me to seek therapy instead of just rushing to get my pills.

Hi. I'm an enby transmasc persons and for many reasons I do not want to go on hrt. I do however want to get a top surgery. Is it possible somewhere in Europe? Where would be the cheapest?

Hi, it's absolutely possible! Most clinics will still want an official diagnosis. Even in Poland we have at least three clinics that do top surgery without requiring patients to be on HRT. It might be the cheapest here, but with varying results.

Followers, please let us know about other countries where you can have top surgery without being on HRT.

hi!! I'm thinking of buying a binder, do you maybe have any reccomendations where to buy from in Poland? preferably from within the country or at least the EU so the shipping isn't too expensive haha

the ones I've found so far are iguanatrend and binderme, are these any good?

Hi, the only Polish producent of binders is iguanatrend - binderme gets their binders from iguana. They're generally recommended. I've checked https://www.trans-missie.com/en/ (Amsterdam based) but the shipping to Poland is crazy expensive. I used to buy my binders from gc2b (US). Gc2b and Spectrum outfitters (UK) are in the same price range (including shipping).

hey jeg er en trans nonbinær person, og der er nu kommet hjemmetests til hvis folk med en livmoder ikke møder op til livmoderhalskræft undersøgelsen. tænkte at det kunne være fedt for andre trans masc personer at vide, da jeg heller ikke selv synes at det er særlig fedt at skulle til den undersøgelse

Tak! Jeg sætter også lige linket ind her

Jeg gad godt vide, om de udelukkende indkalder baseret på juridisk køn. Jeg har været juridisk mand fra omkring da jeg blev 20 og har personligt aldrig fået en sådan indkaldelse i min E-Boks, så jeg vil gætte på, at der skruet sådan sammen.

Derved kan dette også være en opfording til folk som mig, der har en livmoder men pga juridisk køn ikke bliver indkaldt, til selv at tage intiativ til at blive screenet.
