I had an electrolysis appointment this past week for hair removal on my face. While there, I complained about the whole MediDerm situation (I've been going to this place for my face for well over a year now)
The electrolysis tech's response was "hair removal before surgery in the Netherlands isn't really a thing anymore, can you find a second opinion?"
So I'm now really curious if gender clinic will require hair removal in advance or not. I guess I'll find out if/when I finally have an intake there.

I had my electrolysis appointment in Antwerp today, with local anesthetic. The anesthetic injections aren't pleasant, but I tolerate them well and they made the rest of the process very easy. The tech also strongly recommended finishing with electrolysis before the operation, which really contradicts what the tech in the Netherlands said. Finishing hair removal first makes more sense to me, and the idea of hair growing internally invokes feelings of body horror, so I'm going to be continuing these treatments in Antwerp. I wonder if burojij has sent the psychiatrist referral I got last October to gender clinic yet. My next appointment with them is in 3 weeks, so I guess I'll ask then.
