My hrt appointment did not work out. Yesterday I did it online and the therapist was great. She was an ally, said I wanted hrt, and she set me up to see another girl who was a psychiatrist for today. Total stark difference in attitude. She tried to get 50 questions out of me and in the end I'm like I'm not telling you shit if you aren't even going to prescribe me hrt. Then she clapped her hand to the beat of "no one here prescribes hrt" and I'm like okay then I guess we're done here. I hung up then messaged the original girl about it and she was like "yeah it's not going to work out here". So I'm pretty sad. I almost had something only to be taken away in the end. I can't believe an establishment would hype me up only to pull the rug out under trans people. If we want hrt to better ourselves, medical professionals have to take us seriously. At least I did this online and didn't have to embarrass myself in an office. I feel so stupid but at least I tried to help myself. Please share your thoughts and head pats I'm too depressed to know where to go from here but I'm learning.
This is weird? This is eerily similar to "alternative" family planning places (like planned parenthood but not) that only exist to steer women away from abortion. Ive never heard of this happening with trans stuff. I dont know where you are but i urge you to get a second opinion/doctor/appt whatever. If it doesnt work out then diy is always an option
Im so so sorry it didnt work out girly that really fucking sucks ๐ญ๐ญ
Edit: ima DM you, might have some help for you
This absolutely exists. It's a form of conversion therapy like "gender exploratory therapy". Basically what these clinics try to do is figure out the root of why somebody is trans and deal with that instead of actually giving somebody real treatment. These sorts of "treatments" are endorsed by groups like the Society of Evidence Based Gender Medicine (SEGM) and aren't real treatments
