I'm starting my second attempt at transitioning.
My first attempt fell flat when just as I was to attend my first GIC appointment I fell ill and I was also dealing with disability discrimination at work.
After that the discrimination at work became so serious that it took priority and the topics I was discussing with my counsellor I had started seeing regarding my gender dysphoria, changed solely to dealing with the problems at work and the relating anxiety.
Move on two years and the work issue is finally resolved now I have a new boss. I now get a lot of praise and my work often gets top marks when audited.
I'm now in a fantastic position at work, albeit part-time, with fantastic colleagues. So I've now turned my attention back to transitioning. I booked an appointment two weeks ago with the sole intention of getting re-referred to a GIC. My GP is fantastic and has dealt with my complex and large array of health issues fantastically and is amazing to talk to. He listened when I first asked for a refferal to a GIC...
...However, I bottled it. Instead I used the appointment to discuss one of my long term health issues and a neck injury I got from two days previously.
I was always going to talk to him about my neck injury after I got it but I'm annoyed I wasted time talking unnecessarily about a previous health issue and not transitioning.
What I'm leading on to here is, are there any GIC's I can self-refer to to get round this issue of talking to my GP?
