Hi! I joined this site a while back but didn't post anything. Today I had a bit of a realization. Let me elaborate a bit.
For the past six months or so I've been feeling quite stressed around gender stuff, though I rarely did research about it. It was the kinda thing where...I felt like if I just waited things would sort themselves out. (I'm physically male but I strongly identify with being Transgender and going by female pronouns. However I'm still rather confused and believe that I may possibly be more gender fluid.) and I've always been very...distant. I've talked with my parents a bit (The most accepting people I know) and they've helped me find a clinic to go to, the CAMH. (In toronto. I live a few hours away)
I literally just arrived home an hour or so ago and feel rather stumped. They didn't seem to do much more then ask about my history and such, wanting to know how I came to discovering my gender stuff. However after arriving home a very close friend (Who's trans. MTF. She lives in the US) sent me some articles about the CAMH and how the doctors there had pushed Reparative Therapy on some of the younger kids that went in for help. That and their wait time is outrageous.
Basically...I was wondering if anyone on here had any experiences with the CAMH or perhaps know's a little more about the clinic and how they do. I definitely don't want to wait months to start figuring my issues out when I can find someone else who's faster and more reliable who can really help me come to terms with what's going on, and perhaps help me get started with HRT.
Thank you!
Tessa.
