    Congratulations on starting hrt! im sorry it isn’t under better circumstances.

    i always wondered, if you diy and then get access to the official system how do they handle that? logically, they should be more likely to help, since you’re going to be taking hormones either way and they are better positioned to monitor things, but i imagine reality is t logical.

      So, the thing is that there’s only one hospital in Oslo that’s allowed to give gender affirming care to trans people, and the people there really don’t like it when trans people get access to HRT in any other way. They only begrudgingly started accepting people doing DIY after the government forced them to do so a decade ago, and before then they would just reject you the moment they found out. But since they don’t handle trans people on an individual basis everyone still has to go through the exact same bullshit requirements before they’ll actually give you any meaningful help trans-sad
