About Mental or whatever Therapy before Hormone Therapy?

wuzzuh? asked:


Ok, I guess that I’m stuck with being a guy with testosterone flowing around for 3 more months at the least (and i pray that is the max)

However, I was wondering…

1) If I could take Anti-Androgens during this time (least I could do)

2) How to find a gender therapist in the Orange County region? (my psychologist is just a clueless dude)

3) What I am required to do during this time?
will I have to dress as a girl 24/7 during this time, do girl stuff etc?

Because I already do dress as a girl and do female activities, but in a limited fashion as to not bring attention from others.

4) I’m 17 and a Month old, 5′ 7″, and 140 lb. My greatest fear is that in these 3 months, i could suddenly drastically change and no longer seem viable as a woman.

Would that happen? (and is my height too tall?)

5) How can I ensure the therapist I go to is legit, would help me, knows what he’s doing? I would ask him his degree, but he could lie about that ><

    (1) Not without a prescription, and medical supervision. We’re not talking about aspirin here.
    (2)You could look here; or search this site;
    (3) You’re not “required” to do anything; it’s all down to you. Do whatever you feel comfortable with.
    (4) It could happen. But if you’re transsexual, it doesn’t matter if you’re 5′3″ and 80 lbs, or 6′3″ or 200 lbs; you might just have to work a bit harder to look passable. Being transsexual is about who you are, not whether you look like a supermodel.
    (5) You can ask to see the qualifications of any therapist, and check their validity with the issuing authority. It is illegal to pretend to a qualification you haven’t earned.
