Well, my brain seems to be affected by it according to that test (difference score of 11) if I interpret the scale correctly

But well, I also got autism and quite a few other mental conditions and learned all my life to cope quite well with all my disabilities; that’s why I specifically outsource direction question to a visualization that make the answer more tangible for me than listening to my intuition.

But well, what works for some doesn’t necessarily work for all. And probably my other conditions have some influence on it as well. We’re all different, after all; even if sharing a few traits.

That’s why I explicitly stated local.*

I don’t care which country I’m in and how they are driving there. I obviously visualize cars I grew up with.

E: well, I see how local can be interpreted as exactly the opposite of what I mean… oops

I get that. My intuition often mixes both up, too.

That’s why I trained myself to say “driver-side” and “passenger-side” in my head when left or right come up. To a point where I don’t even have to think about thinking about it. I just visualize which side of car is meant instead of the rather abstract concept of left and right

Might not help you; but it helps me

To prove your point, please dox yourself.

I’d be interested in your full name, address, your phone numbers, your email adresses, birth date and credit information (which is probably in the order details)

I always imagine a (local) car, and remember which side the driver sits on

I don’t disagree with the point that it shouldn’t need to be this way.

But it is what it is; and it’s live saving medication that has to come from somewhere.

People are fighting to tackle the problem officially; but they also have to somehow live in the meantime.

Almost all trans people would prefer a prescription and medical supervision above having to pay themself and guesstimate the doses without proper bloodwork. But some just don’t have any alternatives.

And to be clear: I will always recommend people to try the official way first. local transpersons that asked me for advice all got a “I can help you get therapy; I can help you to skip therapy and go the indication route; I can reluctantly help you skip indication and go the informed-consent-route without psychotherapists but still medical supervision, even tho I really discourage that unless your transidentity is obvious since many years; but I will not help you to get DIY (without medical supervision) unless you tried the official approaches, sorry”.

But for some people, there is no other option than DIY. Getting a place for therapy can be really hard, and some countries have no alternative routes to get a prescription with medical supervision without going through years of therapy first.

(Btw, I don’t know how the laws are in the UK. I’m from germany. But the problem is the same everywhere. I got lucky to be able to get a prescription, tho; but I know a few people that weren’t)

Yes, but it’s a bit hard to get; even in countries that try to improve trans-care rather than reduce it.

There are just so many therapists; the waiting lists are sometimes simply closed because they stretch years.

For many people, these hormones mean the difference between a livable life and extreme dysphoria, depression and suicidality.

If they could get them on the regular way, they would. But the regular way is often full of problems. So some people have to fall back to just do it themself.

I even heard of doctors who do some medical checks under the counter to ensure everything is done as safe as possible (but aren’t able to prescribe hormones themself without prior psychotherapeutical indication)

So; your point would be valid in theory, but unfortunately for many trans-people, it’s the only way to get their possibly life-saving medication.

Sorry, was high and missed the point

Because the US taxes it citizens. Regardless where they live

If you wish so:

I’m not the only one who ran around the fountain in the courtyard 128 times to try to get Luigi in my game

And it can also burn people.

Someone tried to convince me to lemmy in 2022. And until the Reddit-thing this single message was the whole reason I didn’t even thought about joining lemmy. It was weird to me back then.

One could say it’s wonderful

You sleep on that mat.

Dunno if better or worse than a pod.

As a former fan of ulefones:

They’re great as long as they work, but I already had two ulefones where something broke internally physically and the IR-blaster blasted non-stop, even after the phone was off. Never had other significant problems, tho.

Thanks.

I love derivate-browsers; using vivaldi (based on chrome).

As much of the site seems japanese and I don’t want to dig deep this morning: can you please give me 2-3 reasons what makes floorp so good?

Not even a month later and said company rebranded itself without checking trademarks. Now we have “X”, a brand that non only risks infringement of quite a few registered eu-trademarks but didn’t even apply for an own eu-trademark…
