    Thanks for your reply. I didn’t realize the Netherlands had it so bad: I assumed they were open minded about lgbt stuff. My condolences, and I hope your conditions improve.

      Yeah, it’s not as bad here as in many other places. Healthcare covers at least a few things, but it takes years before someone can even take a look at you and there’s still discrimination there too. I pay 250 a month for healthcare plus ‘own risk’ every year, yet I pay my own medicine and have private healthcare from the uk in addition. I use home compounded medicine, otherwise I can’t function. I am close to homelessness and receive 0 support from the state.
