Hell, I didn’t even have a chance to start transitioning even at 16. I was born into a horrible family, when they found out I was a trans girl, my father beat me, my parents disowned me.
The worst thing is that now I can’t get trans healthcare, because Finland doesn’t allow transitioning even for adults without the consent of a special commission. The treatment is in a special hospital, which this hospital refuses to treat me because of the traumatic experience. I haven’t been able to access treatment for over a year, and most likely won’t until I’m 30, since access to treatment is getting stricter every year due to the influence of Finnish anti-trans doctors who are promoting a new form of conversion therapy.
I have friends who haven’t received treatment in 5 years. I have to self-medicate and order hormones from gray sources, I’m 21. I don’t understand why I don’t have the right to change my body as I want.
