Hormone therapy through your GP

Received a 'no'?
It happens, and it's not your fault.
- Try a GP who accepts non-local patients (passanten).
- Check the wait times for gender teams; sometimes you can get an appointment quickly outside the UMCs (University Medical Centers).
- Try a private option like Anne Health.
- Visit a safe DIY meeting of TRREX or TRENY.
