I recently decided to cut my crap and admit that I was trans. Since then I’ve started on the waiting list for gender counselling for which there is a 3 month wait.

After that I’m supposed to get a referral to a hospital at the other end of the country who have a national monopoly on trans healthcare. They will then (after two to three years of living as an out woman without hormones) will test me for all manner of mental and developmental issues and deny me care if I exhibit any problems with my mental health.

If by some miracle I don’t get rejected by them I finally get referred to an endocrinologist who will prescribe a dose of estrogen in patch form low enough to be safe for a hamster to use. (Not to mention that transdermal hormone preparations aren’t great in a house with kids).

So my options are private (which I can not afford) or DIY. Socially and financially, DIY is really the only option. Regrettably the nanny state has a problem with ordering unprescribed hormones and confiscates around half of the packages that enter the country. So much so that the people I reached out to don’t even post to Norway any more. So my option is basically to get it sent to Sweden or Finland and pick it up at a post office there. BUT MY CAR IS FUCKED AND I CAN’T AFFORD TO FIX IT NOW!

I’ve possibly got an NB friend who can pick it up from Sweden and send it from within the country, but they aren’t the most reliable person in the world and I want my lady juice now god damn it! I’m fed up of sitting here letting testosterone gradually turn me into the horrid lovechild of groundskeeper willy and Shrek. I need to find a reliable way of getting estrogen. It’s legitimately the only thing on my mind and it’s preventing me from doing anything else. The waiting is driving me insane and I’m a couple of days away from trapping wild animals and eating their raw ovaries.

HELP!
