I'm not entirely sure, honestly. The Pysch I spoke with doesn't know. She is looking into it but as far as she can tell me right now it might be something that can get me separated if I can "prove" that I actually have the Dysphoria. The one thing I'm most worried about though is how will I be able to start the transition, and finding a job that will be accepting of it. I know it's an issue everyone faces but the Military is the only life I've known. Would I be better of admitting during an interview what I plan on doing, or should I establish myself there first? I still need to look into VA, I have heard that they will help with almost everything save GRS itself.
That is, if it's something that will even get me separated. I'm not sure if that's something I even want though. Like I said, it feels like I'm having to chose between the "honorable" thing and serving my country, or breaking a promise/contract just to be happy. I've always thought of myself as an honorable person and if I make a promise I try not to break it... If I hear from the Psych and she says I can separate... I don't know what I'm going to choose.
But, to answer the question, Dodie, the Psych is only required to report substance abuse or suicidal/homicidal thoughts. This is something that the Psych isn't required to report and she said that if I decide to stay in then nothing will come of it, though I'll still be more than welcome to talk to her about any other issues that crop up, or if I'm having a bad day or whatever. It's actually really nice, knowing that there's someone out there that knows my "secret" that I can talk to.
