Title: First Gender Clinic Appointment (UK)
Post by: Peacebone on September 13, 2015, 02:11:50 PM
    Hello...

    I have my first appointment on Tuesday at Nottingham GIC... I've booked a hostel as it's cheaper to stay overnight than go on peak from my city (the joys of Virgin East Coast pre-booking!) and I'll be heading over in the morning.

    I have the following:


    • Letters from work and university confirming my name change
    • Tax refund and bank letters confirming I have changed things
    • A timeline of coming out to friends, work, uni ect
    • Some things I remembered from childhood feeling wrong in my body
    • Smart clothes to wear/stuff to smell nice.

    Is there anything else I need to bring? Any tips on what to expect?

    P.S. I'm FtM... I have a bipolar 2 diagnosis, but I manage it pretty well and I am very self-aware of it. I don't really drink, smoke nor use other drugs. Not sure what else to mention.
