Thursday I met with the psychiatrist who oversaw my transition and a few months of my re-transition. It was interesting–very brief, and anticlimactic; at this point, I'm not really in transition in either direction. She also clearly saw it as a one-time deal. She asked some questions about how I was, and what it had been like to come back. Her main focus was on why I thought I started transitioning in the first place (more on that later): what created a need to do something like it, and what made trans masculine transition so attractive in particular. And I do understand why she would be most focused on prevention as opposed to cure.
