2019 was one of the hardest years of my life but woah I'm just remembering that I had a therapist who was insistent that I didn't transition and that I follow a one year program of proving to her that I was trans.

that wasn't even why I was going to see her in the first place, but the moment she found out she wanted me to stop hrt immediately so she could 'properly' diagnose me with gender dysphoria. she went on this long rant about how back in her day people had to spend years talking to doctors before they were allowed to transition and she has trans clients from the 80s and 90s who were made to prove to her that they were trans for a whole year before she would prescribe them anything.

#[static]#it was wild too cuz i used to go to her when i was in my late teens early 20s and I went back to her because i trusted her insight #but the moment she found out i was transitioning she no longer wanted to talk about the horrifying trauma I'd just gone through #like .... being transgender and transitioning after years and years of being in the closet was such a big step for me and my healing #it was (and still is) one of the best things i could have ever done for my health and happiness and its wild to me that #because i used to be a woman so many ppl were like 'are you just doing this to get out of your shitty marriage?' like .......... wtf??#she basically believed that none of the decades worth of gender dysphoria and trans issues were related to me just being transgender ...#and instead it was a way to get my abusive and clinging ex husband to leave me alone fdkjghf #i transitioned late because he was one of the ppl who trashed my self esteem and would spend days screaming at me if i mentioned dysphoria #i get shivers just thinking about how awful that was lfkghfd but me finally transitioning was a way for me to finally be myself #despite other ppls ideas or wishes of me and boy howdy im so glad that i finally stuck up for myself despite the fallout of all my relation #if you read this you get a kiss on the cheek ... just ranting because wow i forgot about that! so much shit had happened all at once lmao
