As many of you know I have been trying to get the VA to provide me with Gender Therapy. They are refusing to do so and are instead giving me all kinds of other diagnosises and saying I need to work on these first. BPD is the worst, but they also say I suffer from dysthimea, and Major Depression. Those couldn't possibly be related to my intense Gender Dysphoria could they? Their inability to give me the right diagnosis only proves how ignorant they are. Anyways, I am in the process of taking them to courtand so I need a "Real" GT to make an evaluation of me and testify why it is important that I have GT now rather then later. Today, I was able to make an appointment with aTransman who does GT. He considers himself a feminist and believes in dismantling oppressive systems. He comes highly recommended and I understand he plays an active role in advocating for our community. I am so excited to meet him. He seems to be not only someone that I can trust as an ally, but someone who has walked our path and is playing an active role in changing our culture and giving back to our community.
The best part is I can afford him even if the courts rule against me.
At least for a little while.
