I have serious concerns regarding an individual closely associated with this space ("Fynn" B.) Reports of inappropriate and predatory behavior have been made, yet no meaningful action appears to have been taken. As it stands, I do not consider this a safe environment—particularly for vulnerable minors.

Serious concerns about a person ("Fynn”. B.) who is closely associated with the space. Inappropriate and predatory conduct was reported, but no action was taken. I do not consider this a safe space, especially for vulnerable minors.

I came here for a consultation about HRT (hormone replacement therapy). It was the very first time I'd ever officially contacted such a counseling center, which took a huge amount of courage. The welcome was friendly, but that was unfortunately where the positives ended. The consultation consisted solely of a recitation of general information about the effects and side effects of HRT. This is standard information that anyone can easily find online at home in minutes; there's no need to travel across Hamburg for that. There was no concrete, individualized help. Instead, at the end, I was simply handed a list of various doctors, and they told me I should be grateful if I could even get an appointment with them, essentially saying, "Good luck figuring it out yourself; we're not here to help." They could have just sent me that information by email beforehand to save me the trip. The absolute low point, however, was the advice given at the end that I should "try out being a woman in the meantime." To hear such a statement from a professional counselor these days is almost an insult. As if transitioning were simply a matter of throwing on a dress and conforming to stereotypes. Empathy and deep understanding are nowhere to be found here. Anyone seeking genuine, individualized support during a vulnerable phase should steer clear of this place. Thanks for nothing.
