Title: Have my appointment!
Post by: Serra on March 21, 2011, 12:33:50 PM
Finally!  My current insurance has no trans specialists in-network anywhere near my area, so I had to set up a single-person agreement to see the therapist I wanted to (Dr. G in the Chicago area for those who are curious).  They were being really annoying about it, insisting that I had to look at all the specialists they DID SO have in network, except all those people only deal with GID issues or are GLB specialists, not trans specialists.  Finally she and I managed to get them to agree to set us up, so I've got an appointment tomorrow at 6pm!  /pose
Now to see about HRT...

The most important thing in transition is to have a therapist you get along with and feel comfortable around.  Once you find the one you like, the doors shall open for you.

Congratulation, Serra.
