I like to pop back and see how you are all doing from time to time. I stay away because I have little to contribute. My viewpoint is totally different from most of you because my objective is so different, but I like to see how people I once interacted with here are getting along.

Why are you so worried about it?
If they refer you, go see the shrink and tell him you have Gender Dysphoria and this is how you are dealing with it. Tell him that this method works for you and that you do not wish to transition and you do not want a GIC appointment. He will then update your records to indicate you have GD and no doctor will bother you again. However at future GP appointments they will note from your records that you have GD and it means that they will not ask embarrassing questions and because you know that they know you would be less embarrassed.

Take your black hat off and burn it. Doctors even care for Heroine and Cocaine addicts. You think they will boot you out for herbs?

That is just rationalising - finding reasons to support your beliefs. No one really knows what is in the capsules. However I can offer one thread of hope - when I had my initial blood panel done for the GIC I was on PM and nothing showed up in the "estradiol" section so whatever they put in is not estradiol. Who knows? It might even be PM ;-)

Yes, I bought some from Tescos yesterday

Well enough thank you. My social transition is complete and I am just getting on with life whilst my body catches up with me. My former self is gone forever and I am happier. I have kept my old friends and made many new ones. Life is good, better than it has ever been.
