Yea I'm from a rural village in the Netherlands. Tell me about it 😭

You sound like a modern shaman

Sometimes I wish the earth did that

Interesting question.

You'd have to cancel out the sideway movement of the earth, and it's going roughly 85000km an hour.

Once you cancel that out, you'll simply fall down to the sun. But you'd need a very powerful rocket. It's way easier to get to mars, as comparison.

It's more realistic to do gravity assists from venus and other bodies, and in that case it'd take years. Just a rough guesstimate would be 10 years I guess? But maybe you'd have to even sling past jupiter or something to really slow down, so then it might be decades.

Dang, we'd have to wear ear protection all day!

How so? I only tried it a little

I'm sorry

He's the ceo of a kids drug, ofc he's delusional. I just ran into another roblox addicted kid a few weeks ago. Good luck getting that shit out of their brains!

Sounds like the way to go

Then you'll also be surprised to learn that I am insulted constantly and laughed at. Don't get me wrong, there are lots of great people, but it is naive to think the Netherlands is a tolerant place. When you go through the medical system you face the same attitudes.

The issue is, if you believe in the system, you'll give it a chance to traumatize you. This is added on top of other traumas such as losing your family, becoming homeless and so on. The trans thing itself isn't actually the biggest part of it, it's the culture and the society.

Sure, you could get lucky and have the right gp and meet the right psychiatrist, and then you have to wait 5 years before you get any medical support. I've tried. I mean I've literally been at a gp that I knew was trans friendly and I told her I was at risk of suicide, and she was OK with that.

And about the medicine, well you can compound it yourself. I honestly can't live without it, because it is night and day for my mental wellbeing. Without it, it is extremely difficult to live. It's like you're in a state of dissociation and it's painful. It's quite a complex thing to describe, but you are effectively disabled and are at risk of suicide.

Hmm, considering your religious upbringing you might want to try some absurdist literature to break the mold.

• The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
• The Cyberiad
• Discworld
• The Little Prince

These are accessible too, as you're not used to reading yet.

I can also recommend subscribing to a monthly magazine and making a point to read it from cover to cover. That way your skills will improve. You can also buy a whole stack of old national geographics cheaply. This will expand your horizons.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm just grabbing this out of thin air, but have you ever considered medical tourism?
