  • as far as menopause thats not really a feature of our biology so much as a flaw

    Absolutely. I know it’s a sample size of 1 here but my mom almost died because of menopause and didn’t want to take hormones. (My entire family is heavily against external hormones like with hrt and hormonal contraceptives because “too little research”)

    She’s taking the same meds that I do now tho and she’s doing great.

    I will not be simulating menopause lmao



  • To quote my SoundCloud bio: “If the music is loud then I can’t think and if I can’t think then I can’t sad ;w;”

    Sooo mainly extreme high energy stuff like Zaag Uptempo or Rawtempo, sometimes Tearout too. I should watch my tinnitus tho…

    Producing music also is an insane mood helper since I feel like I can express myself way more with making music (or just noise sometimes).

    Honestly, it isn’t as bad at all. With no discounts, a night train (especially Mon - Wed) from Vienna to Hamburg is like 80€ in comparison to a flight that only goes as low as 120€, and that only if you book half a year in advance.

    In all fairness, Hamburg probanly isn’t the cheapest destination by plane but I chose it because it’s somewhere I sometimes go.

    Sure you can dm me, I just have a terrible track record of not staying in contact with any of my friends qwq (also I’ll probably be moving to Germany soon)

    Buying hormones is cheap, 7,55€ per bottle/package/whatever you have. Technically, if you have medication prescribed then you get them for free, just with a general fee. There are also systems tho that you can use to get around paying that too. The expensive thing is really getting a quick doctors appointment. If you go to a private doctor for everything then you can expect a 100-250€ bill ;-;

    If you have a stockpile of HRT that lasts you for 4 months then you are probably good, considering that, if you’re fast, going from having no diagnosis to having estrogen in half a year. If not then you can always just DIY until you’ve got the prescription. Also, I think as long as you have some sort of F64 then you should be fine regardless.

    For where you should move to, I would recommend a smaller city around Vienna that is easily accessible with public transport. If you wanna learn German too then going to the Graz area is a bad idea because of the accent there qwq

    Austrian here, coming here is a good idea :D

    If it’s about continuing from DIY then you’d need to get it prescribed, but getting to HRT through official means really isn’t too big of a deal, especially if you don’t have to jump through hoops like “too depressed, other undiagnosed and untreated mental health issues, former wrong diagnoses, …” that I had to go through.

    I was at Courage Vienna (courage-beratung.at) for psychological counseling and they helped so much with everything.

    For HRT you’ll need a few, what we call “stellungsnahmen”. Basically just from different people a paper saying " yes, you’re trans and yes, you should get HTR". You’ll need that from

    • a psychologist (with Transgender diagnosis)
    • a therapist (courage can do that)
    • a psychiatrist (usually with another diagnosis)

    With all of that, you can get an appointment at an endocrinologist and get HRT.

    Keep in mind tho, while there is free healthcare in Austria, there are also private doctors that you have to pay, but in return you get way shorter waiting times. You can also send the bill to your health insurance and get some of the cost back.

    If it’s about continuing from an existing prescription then it should be as easy as sending your papers to your health insurance, but i’m not too sure how exactly what they need and if you need to do more…





  • Back in the day I’ve always just identified more as homoflexible in that regard. Like yea physically I more tend towards feminine people but I am flexible enough to have a boyfriend now.

    I think to actually find what label you’re comfortable with, or just to accept to ignore labels, you kinda have to try around. For me, i’m at a point where I’d consider myself just Bisexual since in my experience there are reasons both for and against someone based on their gender (or lack there of).
