My therapist just sent me the draft of my HRT letter for comments and corrections. It's the first one she's ever written since I'm her first transgendered client. I'm including it below with identifying info redacted. I know she refers to me as "he", I'm OK with that at the moment as I present as male. What do you think?

of his identification since therapy was started with me.
The <redacted>'s are parents of a 29 year old who is pursuing a career in medicine.
