Well after heavy debating and lots of irrational fears coming to the surface I broke down and finally went to see a therapist. I almost chickened out and did not even tell her about the gender dysphoria but I eventually caved and let her know. She was really supportive about it (figures since she is a professional) and pretty much told me straight to my face "I am not a gatekeeper". She proceeded to ask me if I wanted hormones and srs/grs which I said yes to and she wrote some fancy stuff down for my insurance.
I told her that I take an Individualized approach to a lot of things and if I could be honest I was really there just to get letters for endocrinologists and surgeries. She said she totally gets that and said if I wanted to save on some of my expenses then we could just meet once a month.
After 3 months I am expected to get my referral.
Long story short my therapist was/is awesome and I got lucky.
How was yours?
Mine went well.
I had 3 sessions. On my 4th visit I will get my letter. 8 days left. :)
I got really lucky with mine because he is also trans!
Ive only went 2 times and next meeting we are going to start writing the letter.
That is awesome that both of you got the letters so fast. Mine is pretty strict in regards to following the Standard of Care. I don't suppose I will get it quicker than 3 months. Sure would be nice if I did though of course.
