How beat psyc level boss ?
You are currently reading a thread in /lgbt/ - Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender
help me, tomorrow I have an appointment with a psyc, and I need to convince them in this first meeting that I am ready to start hormones and I won’t regret it etc. Going through the system to get hormones where I live takes at least a few months, and so I am seriously considering self medding until then. Should I tell the psyc this to show I am serious? Or would this hurt my chances of her agreeing to write the referral I need? Also right now I am very confused about my sexuality… should I tell her I like men if she asks, or tell her the truth that I am fucking confused about who I like right now? Also I am not particularly feminine, and see myself as more of a tomboy. I don’t really buy that whole woman in a man’s body crap, should I admit this? Or just avoid giving a definitive answer if it comes up?
Tell me how to get through this shit! I want to make sure I don’t get fucked around by psycs forever…

Just be honest. If your psych is competent on the field he will wave you through assuming you are transgender. How you view what transgender is and means won't matter. If your psych is not competent he might just have read books about trans and not know how different interpretations are all viable.
What really helps is being nice and sympathic. Some psychs mention YAVIS. Young attractive verbal intelligent sympathic. YAVIS pstients are believed to easier to therapate and are more likely to get waved through.

calm down lass
I think if you say that you are considering self medding that they'll try to get you in faster BUT there's a HRT general and trans help general that will get you more informed responses

this makes me feel validated :)
i actually lurk in HRT general a constantly since the first one went up,so i am pretty well informed about the best drugs and dosages etc. To me that survey data is a gold mine.
