Iâve posted this before but here goes.Â
Here in Denmark transsexualism has been removed from the list of mental disorders (nice job on that one Amnesty) and transgender individuals are having consultations about medically transitioning with doctors specializing in things like pedophilia or sexual disorders and let me tell you it does in no way, shape or form work.
Here are no such things as gender clinics, gender therapy, etc. Most transmen choose to leave the country to get top surgery because the alternative is to wait 5 or more years to be considered for the surgery here as a result of the government closing private facilities who offered it.
To get testosterone (legally, I know a few getting it illegally from friends in Germany) the doctors need to have a consultation with your parents even if youâre legally an adult, and their opinion on you being transgender can affect whether or not youâll get a testosterone, you have to answers over 300 questions some even involving whether or not you think about your parents when you masturbate and other very personal and irrelevant information about how you masturbate, have sex, who you have sex with, how many people you have had sex with etc. Apart from all this, it can take over a year to finally be granted testosterone.Â
In Denmark, we have a law that reassures that people only have to wait a certain amount of time before getting treated in our health care system, but guess what THAT LAW DOSENT FUCKING APPLY TO TRANS PEOPLE BECAUSE IT LEGALLY ISNT AN ILLNESS. We wait years for treatment.
This is just a few examples from a place who donât categorize it as a mental disorder, Itâs so fucking humiliating to be transgender in the Danish healthcare system donât let that happen to you.
Having it de-medicalized or recategorized fucking sucks. When do yâall start listening to us and stop this fight?Â
YOU ARE LITERALLYÂ FIGHTING FOR A WORSE SYSTEM.
