Hey Guys and Girls

[Noah]

Long Shot here, but I live in SA
But wondering if any where in Australia does Top surgery with out needing to be on T or a psychs letter.
Damn waiting times here, I really need to get something off my chest

Hi from Sydney! Sorry, don't know the answer to your question - I suspect a letter will be required but you never know.

This is from another posting:

Where abouts in NSW are you from? If you visit http://www.ftmaustralia.org/publications/health-and-service-providers-listing-hsp, they have a regularly updated list of Heath/Service Providers in Australia who are all transfriendly/experienced in meeting the needs of the Australian trans community - it includes GPs, endos, psychologists, etc. for the majority of areas in Australia.

The list is free to anyone who requests it - just read through the page and at the end there will be an email address you can contact. Just explain that you are looking for a counsellor near your area and you'd like a copy of the list to look at.

They usually reply quite quickly. I messaged them in the morning and had an email back with the list by the early afternoon. 

Hope this helps.

You might contact them, they might be able to answer your questions...
alternatively you might have a look at their list and ask docs directly...

another alternative would be to look for a thai surgeon and ask there...

here is a map...
http://www.topsurgery.net/surgeons/

there are more than on the map... for example quite a few surgeons do both mtf and ftm surgery...

Hello Noah and welcome! =)

I'm sorry but that was a really good pun (and a funny one) in this situation. I feel ya, bro.

But yeah, I wish I knew the answer to your inquiry. Keep asking around though and whatever you do, never give up!

Hi Noah

So I asked my friend who is a transman and he said that it's possible to get top surgery without being on T but you will definitely need a letter from a psych. I think it's protocol for all gender related surgery in Australia.

Thank you for that

due to waiting lists

I'm still trying to move you forward on the list.
