anthonystarkSo. New therapist, finally, since the previous one was as useful as tits on a boar hog. The new one sort of specializes with transgender issues. I'm also not the only transguy she's helping right now, which is another plus. Apparently she wants us to meet because he too is doing this mostly alone, and doesn't know any other transguys. I said I was all right with meeting him; what could it hurt?
She asked me about transitioning and stuff, and I told her that I do want to do hormone therapy and have top surgery. She said there's a MetroHealth clinic in Cleveland that works with that sort of thing. I told her that's a plus but, with no insurance or anything, it's damn near impossible for me to afford anything at this point. So she said she'd make a few phone calls and see what she could do. Awesome. She's also going to help me work on the Benjamin Standards of Care, which is awesome too.
Baby steps, but it's a start!
