Title: CAMH Second Meeting
Post by: April S on January 22, 2013, 08:49:48 AM
Hi everyone.

My name is April and my second CAMH appointment is coming up soon. I have met the requirements of living full time for a year, changing my name etc.

I have been told I need to explain the surgery and my plans for recovery in this meeting.

I wonder if anyone could tell me about their own experiences in this second meeting?

Hugs,

April

I also have a blog:

Hi April!

I was just curious of what CAMH is like? When I was transitioning in the late 90s and early 2000s I heard some unbelievable horror stories about mis treatment of transgender people coming out of there.

Anyways welcome and enjoy!!

Hi Tessa i would rather not go but don't have the money for SRS.  When i was 14 i was sent to the clarke. 1982-3 not sure of the date my memories of that time are blocked right now,my therapist says it was my minds way with dealing with what happened.   they denied that i was me and said my mom was behind it all.  to much time with mom which was bull but it is the old zucker game.  i forgot alot of who i was until 14 months ago when things started to change i can only remember fragments but i have pieced enough to figure out everything.  i will start HRT outside of Camh my therapist will sigh my letter in the next few weeks,i am doing on my terms not theres.   a friend is taking in me to see her  endroconologist to meet him then i will have my gp send me there and so on.   its taken 30 years they harmed me.  and they owe me the money for the operation.   lucky i don't have to deal with zucker.  i have heard some really bad things if true he could one of the worst monsters canada has ever seen but i have no evedence only stories from others.
