I got this letter from the hmm.... I don't know what to call it in english but it's the only place in stockholm where they "investigate" you and then they determine if you will get hormones,surgery etc.

And my appointment is 12 march , that feels like a hundred years from now, most of the guys here seem to be from the states or britain i just wanted to know how long this stuff takes where you are from becuse 3 months dosen't seem like fair to me i mean there aren't so many ppl like me in sweden so what's taking so long. :angry:

Hi Victor,

Well, I can't speak for the waiting lists in Sweden, but here in the UK a three month wait for ANY kind of referal for medical assessment is pretty good! Usually a lot longer unless it is an actual emergency or life threatening. But as far as general referals go, 3-6 months is more of the norm here.

it will feel like ages, but these things take time and three months isn't long to wait for the rest of your life :D

if you were in the uk and on the nhs, you could end up waiting four years for charing cross gender clinic (that's probably the term you were looking for) :blink:

every day it gets a little closer, so enjoy it ^_^

Kia Ora Vic,

:rolleyes: Humm lets see pretty soon you will be geting a bit nervous thinking wow I have to see the specialist tomorrow...You have around 12 weeks to research all there is know about who you are...explore your true feelings meditate, relax and enjoy the moment...Concentrate on being comfortable in your skin so when you finally walk into the 'Gender Identity Clinic' in Stockholm the specialist will not only see a young man standing before him but will also feel/sense the maleness that flows from within you! Victor FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT......BE A 'VICTOR' NOT A VICTIM ! Time flies...Before you know it it will be the 12th of March and you're sitting in the clinic's waiting room CONFIDENT AND TRULY COMFORTABLE IN YOUR MALE SKIN...

That would be really hard to wait that long... I just went to my GP last week to get a referral to mental health to be assesed to start testosterone and my appointment is tomorrow. Maybe it's bad that they moved so quick. Although, with our local hospital, that only took a week but if I went to the emergency room and my arm fell off, I'd be waiting for 6 hours.

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.

      So, yesterday's epiphany was that girl jeans fit me much nicer than boy jeans. Well, duh! So this girl is switching over to wearing girl jeans pretty much full time. I'll keep my others for work jeans. We went out to dinner last evening and I was in androgynous mode...wearing a pair of Bandolino Amy straight leg denim pants. Score!

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!
