Hi Brook! Thank you for sharing! And congratulations on the confirmed HRT! 🩵 I'm so anxious, because I'm having a phonecall with my family doctor this Thursday and she is supposed to decide whether or not to send me to a gender identity clinic to determine whether I have dysphoria or not. I feel quite ready to cast off everything that is societally, culturally and biologically considered male thank you... 🥺 what if my family doctor says "no" for whatever reason. 😭 I'll get a second opinion, of course, but the anxiety...!!! 🤣 aaaaaah I'm sorry. I just needed to vent and for now this is the only place. Which is to say, we'll MAKE the future bright! Together! 💪🩵🩷🤍
Oh i was anxious all the way to telling her, and even after. I dont think the fear and anxiety ever stops honestly at this point. Its all about taming that fear and anxiety, and sending that shit regardless.
Im so happy i just have to walk in, tell them "hrt need, give now" and thats it ill have it. Being in oregon and an adult ig has its perks lol
I think her saying stuff makes more sense now relieves me in a way? Like, if SHE sees it too then im not faking it right??
Honestly, it's quite a struggle to come to terms with it yourself. I can't even imagine a professional telling me that I'm not, unless they are a terf and don't want to be taken serious.
i went to my family physician completely unprepared, stuttered that I dissociate with my agab and he just looked at me confused and printed the required papers to forward me to a therapist. It's not their job to determine if you are trans, it's their job to forward you somewhere more specialized to make the call (decision).
You can do it, girl! 💪
