My gender therapist:
- Told me "the proof is in the pudding".
- Wrote my HRT letter and my carry letter.
- Helped me celebrate the excellent pudding.
- Got herself certified so she can write a DMV letter for me in my state.
- Heard my first poetry in decades.
- Celebrated my coming out victories.
- Helped me through the frozen emotions that were no longer frozen.
- Treated me for my PTSD and other stuff.
- Let me save up my angst and pain and unload it once a week.
- Is still there for me.
I was lucky to find a specialist in my other stuff who is also experienced with gender transitions.
