What if I am not comfortable with the gender I was given at birth?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are not comfortable with your gender assigned at birth, you may be transgender or non-binary. One way to explore your gender identity is through gender expression, to find out what makes you feel most comfortable. In this way, you may learn what feels good on the outside and better understand how you feel inside. Sometimes, other people&#8217;s experiences can help you understand what you are feeling and experiencing. It can also help to talk about it with <\/span><b>someone you trust<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. And of course, you can always chat with one of us to process your thoughts and feelings or just to tell someone your story.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. What do gender identity, gender expression, transgender, and non-binary mean?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Gender Identity:<\/strong> Your gender or gender identity is about how you feel inside. There are different gender identities such as: man, woman, non-binary, agender, demigender, androgyne, genderfluid, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Transgender:<\/strong> When your gender identity does not match the gender you were assigned at birth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Non-binary:<\/strong> You do not identify with either the binary genders, such as boy\/girl or man\/woman. You may fall outside of them, in between, or feel like a combination of both. Or you may experience non-binary as a more fluid form of gender, flowing between two or many genders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Gender expression:<\/strong> Is the way you express yourself to others, like what you show the world. It can be pronouns, the name you use, what clothing you wear, how you behave or act, hair style or voice. Gender expression and gender do NOT have to match, and even if you express yourself one way, it does not mean your gender identity has changed or isn\u2019t real or valid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/gender.fandom.com\/wiki\/Gender_Wiki\">Gender Wiki<\/a> to read more about these, and other words related to gender.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. How do I explain what non-binary is?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It can be difficult to put into words what being non-binary means for yourself, let alone explain it to someone else. We have a book recommendation\u2014 and who knows? You may learn something about yourself. Alok Vaid-Menon wrote a book called \u2018Beyond the Gender Binary\u2019. In the book, Alok challenges the world to see gender not in black and white, but in full color. Taking from their own experiences as a gender-nonconforming artist, they show us that gender is a malleable and creative form of expression. The only limit is your imagination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do you have any tips of your own?

The best way to come out is different for everyone. No matter how you come out, it is important to choose a way that makes you feel comfortable and safe. When you come out is completely your choice as well. For example, you could choose to tell them in a letter or with a video. We are here for you if you\u2019re not sure how you want to come out, and will help you figure it out. You can reach us by chatting or calling or emailing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3.

What is a social and\/or medical transition?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Social transition<\/strong> is the social process in which you, as a transgender or non-binary person, start living as the gender you really are. For example, think about what name and pronouns you would like to be addressed with, hair style and clothing, use of restrooms and locker rooms, and so on!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A <strong>medical transition<\/strong> consists of medical treatments that help a transgender or non-binary person align their body with their gender identity. This is a process that always goes through such things as a psychologist and other health professionals. Examples include hormone inhibitors, hormone therapy and surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Which healthcare providers can I register with?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can use the \u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.transgenderwegwijzer.nl\">transgender wegwijzer<\/a> (wayfinder)\u2019 (only in Dutch) to see which gender-related healthcare providers there are in the Netherlands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition, gender-related healthcare in the Netherlands is rapidly changing. New clinics or treatment options are always in development, so please ask ahead of time with a practitioner what treatments are offered and what you can expect.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. What do I need to do to register with a healthcare provider?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In order to register for treatment, it is important that you have a referral from your GP or from a mental healthcare specialist. When you register, make sure you are well informed about waiting times for consultation\/treatment, because they can take a long time and change quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. What happens once I have signed up with a <\/strong><strong>healthcare provider?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you have registered with a practitioner, there will always be an intake interview. Then a treatment program will follow that consists of several phases (diagnostics, hormones, operations). Many practitioners have different procedures and may not perform surgery themselves. Check with the doctor whether they have a contract with a hospital that will perform an operation, or whether you will have to re-register there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also, the treatment plan depends on how old you are. To ensure you understand the process it is best to look at the website of the practitioner or contact them directly. The process can also be different for each person and depends on your own wishes, and the time needed to make the right decisions. For example, you can see what treatment at the Amsterdam UMC looks like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vumc.nl\/zorg\/expertisecentra-en-specialismen\/kennis-en-zorgcentrum-genderdysforie\/informatie-voor-patienten-kennis-en-zorgcentrum-genderdysforie\/de-transitie-stap-voor-stap.htm\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. The waiting times are very long, can I get my turn earlier?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unfortunately it is often not possible to get to your appointment any earlier. What you can do is contact different therapists to find out what their waiting times are. In the meantime you can look at what possibilities there are to at least start a social transition for yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. What are the effects and side effects of hormones?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When taking hormones there can be different effects and possible side effects. It is difficult to estimate what and when the effects will become noticeable to you. Everyone&#8217;s body reacts differently and the possible side effects are also different for each individual. You can find more information about the effects and possible side effects on the website of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transvisie.nl\/transitie\/volwassenen\/hormonen\/#1596306610709-a74674e0-42a1\">Transvisie<\/a>. And, of course you can always discuss the possible side effects with your doctor or pharmacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>7. Where can I buy binders, tops, panty liners, (breast)prostheses, swimwear etc.?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the Netherlands you can find these products at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trans-missie.com\/nl\/\">Dana\u00eb<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/paxsies.com\/\">Paxsies<\/a>. See the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transvisie.nl\/transitie\/volwassenen\/transitie\">Transvisie<\/a> website for more information. When buying these products, it is very important to inform yourself about what you are buying, what the quality is, and especially how to use it safely.<\/span><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/li>\n                  <li class=\"faq_item\">\n            <div class=\"item_inner\">\n              <div class=\"item_title\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/genderpraatjes.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/02\/love.svg\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\">\n                <h3>Dating &amp; relationships<\/h3>\n                <hr>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"item_text\">\n                <h3 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>1.
