It has been a while since I did an update, lots has been going on.
Tuesday 5th
In the UK I had a psychiatric assessment, and they have suggested I go to the Charring Cross Clinic for monitoring in addition to having my program here in Switzerland.
The whole assessment was weird, the psychiatrist turned up an hour late for my appointment, and seemed morbidly obsessed with suicide. Either way she has referred me to Charring Cross just because, so it can't be at all bad.
Thursday 7th
Had first session with Gender Therapist here in Zurich, it was very odd. Not at all what I had expected to be honest. I was expecting a normal starting session then arrangement of whatever needs to happen next. No, it was simply cards on table then into a discussion about my past relationships. I really like my Swiss Gender Therapist. She is a Brit from the old school, but liberal old school. Agreed to meet this Wednesday to complete the paperwork for referral. Had no issue with that at all.
Wednesday 13th
2nd session with Gender Therapist. I laid down the list-o-fix, my wishlist of issues and insecurities to address. Apparently I am going to need quite a bit of time to get through it all, which is fine. I have the rest of my life, lol.
After some chit-chat got down to the serious business of my sexuality, that was a very odd discussion. At the end she agreed to call and write my Endo. As he is only back on the 25th from Holiday, I have to wait until then. Progressing well so far. Next session on the 28th.
Ballet
Ok, so now people you can laugh it up at me. I decided at the beginning of the month to try ballet.
So why am I mentioning it here, well actually poise and grace. I am completely amazed how much my posture has changed (yes that was why I mentioned it while at the airport), since the beginning of the month. I had a session today and I am sure my teacher was trying to break me. It was nice to be stretched.
Next Steps
The HR people at work have an appointment with a Trans Man to learn more about the needs of transsexuals. Obviously actually get my scrip would be nice. Actually the main thing on my mind apart from setting the timeline, is how to come out to certain people at work. My job can be somewhat sensitive so that is certainly going to be interesting. Does anyone have any advice on how you should approach this at CEO level?
