Thanks everyone, I'm going to try to look for another therapist... It's going to be a bit tough though, just due to the small window of time I have for appointments - my dad thinks I'm going grocery shopping with my mom. So I have to factor in travel time and time spent there. As horrible as he was, he did do one good thing - I realized that I should stop rejecting myself and just act regardless of what people like him think about me - I'm not going to change my mind, that is in fact me, my soul, myself. Why should I change ME?

But erm, even though I'm all pumped up now, I'm unsure, and more importantly I'm still short a therpist... If anyone lives in the San Gabriel/Rosemead area...

Sweetie, I'm glad to hear that you rejected this particular Therapist, they are not all like that and can do much good. It is good that you are evaluating the gender you believe yourself to be. You are young yet and that is working in your favor. You do have time and while I know you are all pumped up about it, you still have to realize that anything really good is worth waiting a little bit for. Take your time in all this and you will come out better in the end.

I wish I could help you with a Therapist but unfortunatly I live half way across the Country. Hugs and wishing you well in your journey.

Wendy
