To prove your point, please dox yourself.

I'd be interested in your full name, address, your phone numbers, your email adresses, birth date and credit information (which is probably in the order details)

I don't disagree with the point that it shouldn't need to be this way.

But it is what it is; and it's live saving medication that has to come from somewhere.

People are fighting to tackle the problem officially; but they also have to somehow live in the meantime.

Almost all trans people would prefer a prescription and medical supervision above having to pay themself and guesstimate the doses without proper bloodwork. But some just don't have any alternatives.

And to be clear: I will always recommend people to try the official way first. local transpersons that asked me for advice all got a "I can help you get therapy; I can help you to skip therapy and go the indication route; I can reluctantly help you skip indication and go the informed-consent-route without psychotherapists but still medical supervision, even tho I really discourage that unless your transidentity is obvious since many years; but I will not help you to get DIY (without medical supervision) unless you tried the official approaches, sorry".

But for some people, there is no other option than DIY. Getting a place for therapy can be really hard, and some countries have no alternative routes to get a prescription with medical supervision without going through years of therapy first.

(Btw, I don't know how the laws are in the UK. I'm from germany. But the problem is the same everywhere. I got lucky to be able to get a prescription, tho; but I know a few people that weren't)

Yes, but it's a bit hard to get; even in countries that try to improve trans-care rather than reduce it.

There are just so many therapists; the waiting lists are sometimes simply closed because they stretch years.

For many people, these hormones mean the difference between a livable life and extreme dysphoria, depression and suicidality.

If they could get them on the regular way, they would. But the regular way is often full of problems. So some people have to fall back to just do it themself.

I even heard of doctors who do some medical checks under the counter to ensure everything is done as safe as possible (but aren't able to prescribe hormones themself without prior psychotherapeutical indication)

So; your point would be valid in theory, but unfortunately for many trans-people, it's the only way to get their possibly life-saving medication.

Why are people so surprised?

There is money to be made, and we're not used to seeing cashcows beeing left alone

Unrelated small businesses, sure.

But the one that just fired you?

I think that's a justified amount of work. Alao you were just fired, you've got a surplus work-budget anyway

It's a (opt. Co-Op) Pokemon Survival Craft Base&Factory Building Game with Guns.

While sometimes buggy and rough around the edges, and without offering many original ideas, the ensemble of everything they threw together is really good.

Sure, it's far from perfect, and every other moment, you can see the quite heavy inspirations they got from popular franchises.

But it's quite good.

While not surpassing any of its inspirations in the field they got inspired in, it offers all these other things the inspirations missed.

It's parts may not be that good, but overall, it's the combination of those parts that make it.

Defnitely at least half a wheel

FTFY

If a credit card is involved to get the result, the test is boolean:

If you get the results, you've failed.

(At least for online tests. A proper IQ test may cost something if it's not done for psychiatric/psychological reasons.)

The important parts are paint and maintenance.

Give a commie block a fresh coat of paint every decade or so and they can look good (though I just don't like flat roofs. But that's personal taste.)

But while a somewhat run down european style house can still have some charme for longer (guess I'm biased here) a run down commie block in gray and with cracks in the facade will quickly start to look depressing.

And as they are often chosen for cost reasons inside capitalistic environments, they are often neglected.

So, the problem is not commie blocks, but how they are maintained. And as often we tend to search for the extreme examples if we (dis)like something.

Sure, but in this case, most of the lemmy-clients (FOSS or not) are bad.

I have problems logging into my accounts (seems like some instances want my email as a username and many clients cannot handle this after I switched accounts), some clients don't feature editing or deleting your posts, some clients don't show my saved content, some clients don't allow to see what you posted

Sure, much of this is because they started from scratch and will maybe surpass sync some day; but right now I couldn't find something that isn't worth. (didn't try infinity yet, tho)

it's not necessarily "FOSS is bad"; it's just that the current lemmy-ecosystem is in it's child shoes (I have the feeling this proverb doesn't work in english?)

That said: I use Sync4Lemmy since 5 minutes and this is my first comment; so let's see if/what it will deliver
