Being a man, woman, or in-between is interpreted differently by everyone, cis or trans, so what defines "living as my chosen gender"? Is it the clothes I wear? The way I talk and act? Asking everyone to use a new name and pronouns?<br /><br />How does a therapist measure if my combination of traits is satisfactory to them, when the point is for me to be satisfied with myself? It seems so arbitrary.<br /><br />/rant =PViviBluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008502109989589868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999570460832692491.post-72241246514184003892010-02-11T14:10:12.364-07:002010-02-11T14:10:12.364-07:00Sending a hello your way and definitely digging th...Sending a hello your way and definitely digging the blog. :]<br /><br />With your doc, that sounds obnoxious, but maybe (s)he's just trying to be careful and making absolutely sure your lab results are in before proceeding? Hopefully?<br /><br />With the standards of care, I agree with you that not having them would be a big problem. Before they came along, it was hard to find a country that offered any safe or legal medical options for trans people. A lot of places even outright criminalized cross-gender behavior.<br /><br />BUT, I'd personally prefer if the standards of care would upgrade with the times more quickly. The requirements are way too strict and not applicable to a lot of trans-people, especially those who are genderqueer. <br /><br />Or that "real-life experience" shindig, where you're supposed to live in the "role" of "man" or "woman" (wtf?)? It often ends up being both mentally harmful and physically dangerous for people. :(Dexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11789518319932340646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999570460832692491.post-2804279836822725562010-02-05T02:39:57.556-07:002010-02-05T02:39:57.556-07:00You really should find a new doctor.
