hello! i have something SUPER annoying to talk about.
so, when i first came out as trans at age twelve, i had a therapist. she was a rude, disrespectful woman, who would laugh when i told her things, misgender me and constantly turn conversation back to my brother (i'd mentioned ONCE that my brother was rarely in the house as he works and goes to uni. once.) so i couldn't talk about stuff that actually bothered me. after a few months, she asked me if i wanted to continue seeing her, and i told her very politely that seeing her made me feel worse and i did not. she, a therapist seeing a trans child, actually started crying, which really didn't make me feel better at all. i moved on from that and almost forgot about her.
now, a couple of years later, i need a letter from a doctor to get my passport changed. i got in contact with her as she knows i am trans and has done for years, and will be able to confirm that i will most definitely be trans for the rest of my life. she got another therapist to call me to tell me that she does not want to write this letter for me. her reasoning? she 'does not know my gender situation well enough'. this is a lie. she has pages of records regarding my gender situation. she has attended meetings to discuss my gender situation. knowing her character, i know for a fact, as do my parents, that this is out of the pettiness of her own heart regarding the truthful comments i made about her attitude when i was 12/13. she is well within her rights to refuse me, but it hurts.
what she cannot refuse me is the set of files mentioning my transness, which i will use to help get a letter from another doctor. but even still, the fact that she went out of her way to get some form of 'revenge' is awful. my parents will be complaining, but there's nothing we can really do.
