Ok so here's some what of my story. I've been seeing a therapist for a month or so now, and I really am open with her and she's easy to talk to, she understands me( it's also part of their job I know) but I really enjoy talking to her. My only problem is I'm already diagnosed with gender identity disorder but the endocrinologist I had in line won't see new patients unless it's through a certain counselor or therapist. I'm stuck in a rut and I'm very down about it. Like everyone else here it's just that silver away from actually getting hormones I'm so close I can almost reach out and grab it. It was such a slap in the face when my referrals from not only my therapist but also my doctor to go to this endo for hormone treatments fell through. So I guess what I'm asking is, do I hang in there find another endocrinologist? or do I go through my original endo I had lined up? And start therapy all over again? I don't want to leave the therapist I have now :( and I feel like it would be such a waste of time!

Time for a new endo, hon. Someone that inflexible isn't worth your time or money.

Try for new endo.  Check on new psych as you will eventually need one anyway.

To move forward is to leave behind that which has become dear. It is a call into the wild, into becoming someone currently unknown to us. For most, it is a call too frightening and too challenging to heed. For some, it is a call to be more than we were capable of being, both now and in the future.

Agreed. You need to find a new Endo, along with an additional therapist. The level of inflexibility you describe is ridiculous, and almost reeks of gatekeeping to a small extent.

Best wishes! :icon_bunch:

Thank you everyone very much. It honestly crushed me when they wouldn't take me but I will definitely look for a new endo, the only thing that bothers me is that I was told he was one of the best in my area. But I'm trying to keep my head held high :) thanks everyone!
