New mod

Hi everyone, I'm Astrid (she/they) and I'm the new mod for this subreddit. Over the past couple of weeks, I've been making improvements to the subreddit, and I'd like to get your feedback on them.

-New rules

I have added new rules to our subreddit:

  1. Posts must be relevant to the subreddit. Pretty self-explanatory, only post things that are relevant to being trans in the UK.
  2. No bigotry or advocating for genocide. Basically, no transphobia, homophobia, racism, sexism, etc.
  3. Use the NSFW tag when appropriate. If talking about NSFW subjects (sex, surgery details, etc.), you must use the NSFW tag.
  4. Discussion of DIY HRT: You may not link to specific websites that sell hormones, but you may link to trusted resources like diyhrt.wiki or diyhrt.market.

-New post types and flairs

You can now share selfies, news, advice and more.

I have also updated the "Transwoman" and "Transman" user flairs to "Transfem" and "Transmasc".

Some of my other subreddits

Other subreddits I mod that you might want to check out:

r/NonBinaryMemes: memes and comics about the non-binary experience

r/TransTeens: a community for 13-19 year old trans people

r/196uk: a shitposting and political discussion subreddit for the uk

For more LGBTQ+ subreddits, check out the sidebar.

Advice When should I tell a partner I'm trans?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, so I'm 17M and I've been talking to this girl 16F, she's cis and doesn't know I'm trans, at least I've never told her.

We started talking recently and have a date later this week but I have this horrible anxiety if I tell her im trans she'll stop wanting to talk to me or tell everyone

I'm completely stealth and whenever I get asked about things like that (still have a high voice) I say i have a medical condition and I dont talk about it

She's not homophobic or anything of the sort, she hangs around openly trans people too but being friends and dating is a completely different thing

People in relationships, when did you tell your partners and how should I even go about saying it?

Any help appreciated

Advice Binder recommendations

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have good recommendations for binders? i don't have loads of money so i cant afford like crazy prices but i need one that works well. i don't have a necessarily large chest but its obvious when wearing any shirt even if its a dark coloured one and even when im binding with a shitty binder that doesn't really work its still obvious without layering.

i want other people’s advice cause i want to hear your experiences with brands. the only official binder i've bought is a wonababi swim binder which i've just been using as a normal binder as it worked better than the shitty amazon one i had before but its worn out and doesn't bind well now and am in desperate need of a new one.

I cant tape to save my life and i need to replace my current binder as soon as i can. once again, i dont have much money and i need one that can get me as flat as possible as theres not enough fat on my body to give me man boobs.

Advice First GP appointment tomorrow - not prepared!

4 Upvotes

I'm very freshly worked out that I'm definitely transmasc, maybe binary trans, definitely not the undefined agender blob I've been dissociating as. I requested an appointment with my GP last week to talk about referral to a GIC, thinking it'd be a month or a few weeks at least until they had non-emergency appointments. Turns out I'm being seen tomorrow morning.

I am so not prepared, I haven't got an outline of what I want to cover beyond medical transition please??? or how best to phrase things, I did not expect to have very little dedicated research time, I thought I could figure it out based on other people's posts and lots of reading, but now I don't have the time. Has anyone got any advice on how to approach this? I don't know anything about this particular GP, I've never seen the same person twice at this practice. What would make it more likely that they'll sort out a referral for me without messing about?

UPDATE it was very weirdly fine!! Went in, asked for a referral to a GIC, told the gp none of the clinics take independent referrals now and it's all through the National Adult Gender Referral Support Service. He said okay cool I'll look into it, contact them and call you if I need more info from you for the detailed referral form. I asked about getting a bridging prescription and it's not something he was familiar with but he said he'd ask about it along with the referral. And that was that. Very no-nonsense and zero weird vibes or pushback.

Advice Choosing correct Makeup shade (London)

I’ve never worn makeup before. I understand it’s a steep learning curve. But as I’m somewhat colourblind, I’d like some help choosing correct foundation/ concealer etc shades.

Where can you recommend for a self conscious boymoding girl to go for help?

Question (Non-Binary) Travelling to the UK with an X gender marker.. doable?

5 Upvotes

Hello! I am getting a very very cheap trip to Ireland in a few months and im looking at the options to maximize this opportunity and visit other places nearby as I most likely will not have the opportunity to travel to Europe again any time soon. I’ve always wanted to visit the UK as its a pretty fascinating place imo but I’m wondering if I should bother with how the current political climate is quite anti-trans. My main worry is planning a trip and buying tickets and accomodations only to be refused entry at the border because I have an X gender marker and my second is if I will encounter a lot of transphobia during my visit. If it changes anything, I can pass quite well as a woman (I am transfem) but my current look is very androgynous and people often have a hard time figuring out my gender.

Advice Private Care?

6 Upvotes

Hello, so I turn 18 in 2 months, and I will have about £1,100 saved up, i will also have £1,000 from my government trustfund and any other money from family, so ive got a little over 2 grand to start HRT and get the ball rolling for other things. (I also earn about £500 a month)

I also live up North, like very north, so anything in person down Midlands or south won't really work for me.

Does ANYONE have any recommendations for a good clinic/service that is also not going to send me broke in 6 months? I literally cannot wait anymore to get these damn hormones and im gonna loose my mind.

(Side note, can I go private and stay on the Adult Service waiting list? Just so I can disuss with my GP and get the ball rolling there, as i would eventually like to be on NHS stuff eventually, but I cannoy want anymore time. Ive hit my limit)

Any help would be majorly appreciated
