    The self contradicting madness of nordic trans care is really something 😵‍💫

    There’s a risk they’ll ignore it, but you might be able to find a guide for clinicians on your gender clinic that explains what a referral must include. I’m danish, but that helped my clueless (but friendly) doctor write a proper referral.

    Had a feeling I related more to girls at school, at some undefined level.

    Then when I was 16 I panicked while playing as Zoey in Left 4 Dead because I realized I should have been a girl, but I wasnt and I didnt know what trans meant so I threw those feelings back into the box of things to ignore.

    Then 10 years later I found r/egg_irl, yay!

    Been taking a break from my job search, for my mental health. I get fairly many interviews, but generally just “we have decided to go with someone else” kind of responses. I found a report saying 43% of trans women have work in my country, compared to 85% of cis women, and now I wonder…

    I managed to go alone to a trans event that I didnt know anyone at. Wow I hate going to events alone I do not function well alone in loose social situations in rooms I’ve never been before, but how else are you suppose to meet people and not go alone next time…

    Started sending job applications. It’s kind of hard to figure out what I’m good at, especially since it’s almost impossible to find local golang programming jobs, and the tech job market is kinda weird right now. And then theres the whole “being visibly trans at a new workplace”-set of worries! Would also be nice if they could reply to my applications.

    Decided that I rather be visibly trans than hide my fem looks at home. However, I kinda hate standing out among others, which is already impossible not to do when Im 2 meters tall, even more so when I dont pass and likely never will.

    Any tips on gaining the confidence to continue, and getting into the mindset of not caring what others think? My local area is not that dangerous, but also not 100% friendly, which makes me over think this a lot.
