Visiting gender clinic: Preparation?

Hi all,

   I'm off to the local gender clinic on Thursday to see what they can tell me.  As I understand it, it won't therapy so much as an 'orientation' to figure out what my deal is and where to send me next.

   I confess, I'm a little stressed about the whole thing.

   My current plan is to bring:
   - My GP's referral letter
   - An annotated copy of WPATH7, with all the bits pertaining to me highlighted. I'm aiming to transition to intersex, so that will probably confuse them and I want to make sure they know the relevant standards.
   - A copy of the Genderbread Person 3, since it will help explain my presentation/gender/sex situation quite well
   - A set of bullet points highlighting key events and indicators that have brought me to this point
   - Courage

   Does anyone have suggestions on how to prepare for such a thing?  Obviously, I should take the time to introspect and figure out how to explain myself clearly, but are there any thoughts on what else I should bring in order to smoothen the whole process out?
One day they woke me up; so I could live forever.

Currently I am writing on:

History, what has happened in my past life that made me convinced of trans*
Medical, whether bloodwork, brain makeup, modulators, hormones, etc, have a say in this
Your view on the transitionprocess and what it will mean to you.
Assesment of mental health, physical presentation, (I don't yet) companionship and financial stability.
How I view myself in society and which class vs. where I want to be in 'x' amount of years.
Sexuality
