I feel like rambling, which I suppose no one missed but I'm bored as fuck so here we go. VENT TIEMS. The thing is, I'm not satisfied with transgender healthcare in this country. But it's like, I feel like I shouldn't complain considering Sweden has government healthcare so it's basically free and, well, that's fucking awesome. So I guess I am a bit privileged compared to trans people in like, the US or some other bastard countries. However, our healthcare is very bare bones. I used to be balding, which hormones fixed in the last moment but I didn't know that at the time, so I was asking if there was treatment for that but they were just dismissive and offered that I wear a wig instead and frankly, wearing a wig would be humiliating as fuck for me so thank fuck I don't have to wear that. Face feminization surgery is also not a thing here, which means I was one of the lucky trans women in how I was already born looking female enough to pass. Fuck me, trans women here shouldn't be forced to pay all that money just to look like a goddamn woman. Then there's also the whole bullshit about how you're not allowed to start transitioning before you're 18 in this country. Fuckin' 18, when puberty has probably already fucked us up pretty badly. And right now I'm being salty because despite four years of hormones I still have fuckin' chest hair I need to shave or epilate so things won't be awkward when I'm dating or whatever. There is no reason things have to be like this and I'll call the doctors today and yell at them about it but with my luck they'll probably just shift blame to those politicians just like they do to explain how I gotta wait a year and a fuckin' half just to have surgery. Last time I brought up the chest hair thing the doctors are like "that's normal lol" and I'm like, so is women with facial hair so you can't fuckin' use that excuse to deny me some goddamn treatment. I'm legally female now but sometimes I'm still left feeling like some kind of genderless mutant rather than a normal, healthy woman. Or, I dunno, maybe this is just my anger management issues again. Whatevs. And don't worry, my life is actually pretty damned good right now but I don't wanna rave about private matters so this rant is what y'all fuckers get.
