Hi Everyone! I'm planning on adding stuff here but first enjoy your new weekly mega <3


Join our public Matrix server!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

Are you currently in the process of getting treatment at CKI?

Nope. Didn't say the right things for the referral letter.

but generally electolysis seems quite hard to come by depending on where in Denmark you live.

Yea. I live on Sjælland, so I'm probably going to have to look at what is available in Copenhagen.

Ah yeah, it's truly an awful process. I hate Denmark so much honestly. Have you tried getting a referral to one of the other clinics? They are slightly less strict from my understanding. Also if you need some pointers to help being approved I'd be glad to help though you might already know of them.

Yeah Copenhagen is a good option, they should have lots of options for hair removal.

Also, you might already know, but if you want voice training sessions they are free through your municipality (at least in most IIRC) and you don't need a referral through CKI for that.

oh, that was for Odense. So.. yea, I probably don't know. Do tell me.

I haven't checked with mine, but yes I do know that many have voice training for free.

I think the best one is the one in Aalborg.

Generally, you just want to show and tell them what they want to see and hear. You basically have to portray a binary (possibly heterosexual) trans person even if you aren't. For my first appointment I showed up in feminine clothes, nail polish, etc. and I had practiced what to say when asked different things. E.g. when they asked about my mental health I lied about basically everything except for my awful dysphoria. You really want to bring up dysphoria and how it affects you, but not other mental health issues. I also implicitly stated that I would likely kill myself if I had to continue living as a man, but I didn't explicitly say that I was suicidal as that could be used against me. If you have any mental health diagnoses that could negatively affect the process as they like to deny care based on frivolous reasons.

In regards to my family situation I lied and told them I had a good relationship with my family (like it's decent, but they weren't great parents, kind of emotionally neglectful, but I did not mention this). I also came out to my family between first and second appointment which seemed to be seen as positive. Other than that I think being on DIY HRT is also a benefit as it shows you are serious about transitioning (and my personal theory is that they want to control your transition so they want you off DIY).

Idk you might already know all of this, but this was how I went about it and I was only forced through the minimum of four appointments before being approved.
