Title: I need opinions on this clinic
Post by: Bird on October 12, 2010, 10:37:21 AM
Please if you have any opinion to give me, do reply,  this is to me a "10" on the scale of important things.

So, just so everyone who's reading knows where I am coming from: I am seeing a therapist (a pyschiatrist), no-HRT yet, I don't know if he can send me to HRT somewhere yet but I will bring the issue up next week. I am in Brazil and we don't have many gender therapists here.

I was speaking through e-mails with an american doctor, who is a mtf tg, and she sent me this link:

I am considering using their services, but I am unsure of it because of a few issues. First of all, the clinic ins't run by a doctor but a gender therapist with degrees philosophy and sexology. I'd think you need to go through the medical or psychology route to be a gender therapist. It can be just my biased opinion, since I am a med student... anyway, their website has a link to translate it to english, and I wanted opinions, mostly if it seens like a place that is safe to start HRT or if they don't seen professional.
