Hi Denita,

First, honey, I am just so happy at the reaction you have gotten from your brother. That is so awesome. I can only imagine how great that must have felt.
I am confused though about your dealings with the psychiatrist. Maybe I missed something in the thread...I am pretty dingy, lol...but my take on mental health professionals is to just be as up front and out in the open as I can so that they are better able to access and assist. So I am confused. Why not just tell your cute shrink right at the outset that you are TG? Seems like the elephant in the room...lol

Hi Samantha,

Thank you. He is awesome and it was a massive sense of relief. My brother is the only acceptance that I needed or wanted.

I think the elephant is in a pink sequin jumpsuit and is doing somersaults. Just not to be missed. lol
I totally agree with you and I will bring the subject up when I see her this week.

My main reason for putting myself forward was to sort out my depression, anxiety, rebuild my confidence and hopefully sort out my social isolation. This is the weird thing about it. I have not deliberately hidden that I'm TG but at the same time I've not offered the information.

It might work out to my advantage as she might be able to directly refer me for a gender dysphoria diagnosis through my GP. Saves me from trying to convince my GP to do it.
