I saw my psychologist yet again on Wednesday just last week. He noticed the definite change in my emotions, as I went from upset (last time we met) to mighty happy just through changing schools and attending as my preferred gender We talked about surgery and hormones! We talked about how they would work, and he showed me a bit of female and male anatomy...surprisingly it took an hour to get through

After it all, he mentioned that he had been talking to an endocrinologist he knew! And said he would refer me to this endocrinologist! My psychologist wasnt too sure whether I would be allowed to take testosterone, due to my age and legal stuff, but he says that talking to the endocrinologist will help. That way, we can get to know each other, and it will be the endocrinologists decision from there!  It made me very excited! Even if I dont start taking testosterone for a while now, hormone blockers could be a huge possibility! Yay! Convincing my parents to pay for this stuff might be the hardest step Although they do seem to listen to what the pros tell them 

Sounds like you are having a great week, really happy for you!  Hope all works out well with the parents

That is really great news. Good luck!

Haha woah! thats expensive! 

Blockers for under 18s are still practically banned over here in England as of course all the medics think a person has to grow to maturity before they can know themselves. 
There are reports that one or two doctors will prescribe blockers to youngsters but if anything went wrong the legal problems would be massive.
So for most people its still the suffer GID until 18th birthday.
The sooner the medical system sorts this emss out the better.
