    Norway is even worse! Didn’t stop until 2016.

    Also there is exactly ONE hospital in all of Norway you can get help from. If you’re lucky and if you have the strength to go through several years of nonsensical interviews and gatekeeping. Also make sure you can afford the plane tickets to and from the hospital, because they will not do meetings over the phone and they sure as shit don’t cover your expenses. Oh, and if you’re depressed due to your dysphoria or you know, one of the million other things to be depressed about, they won’t help you. If you’ve been diagnosed with with autism, they also won’t help you. Because autistic and/or depressed people can’t possibly know their own gender identity. Right?

    Spread the word, folks. Norway is transphobic as shit. It’s a shithole country and it deserves to burn.

        I’m sorry. I’m just so fucking sorry. It shouldn’t be like this. You, my gf and every other trans person deserve some fucking dignity, not to be treated like you’re criminally insane. To be worn down and presented with hurdle after hurdle after hurdle, and to have LITERALLY LIFE SAVING TREATMENT WITHHELD for NO GOOD FUCKING REASON.

        It makes me so fucking mad. It’s not remotely okay.

          The insane thing is how Rikshospitalet talks about how they are so understaffed and how it’s horrible, but then get HKS shut down which means they will force even more people to go through their shit so they will be even more understaffed INSTEAD OF LIKE GETTING MORE STAFF OR DECENTRALISING TRANS CARE.

              They have made it so HKS legally can’t give people HRT anymore, they can only offer therapy and nothing else.

              this literally happened like a week ago or so.
