Expanding on the title: I got my first prescription for hormones today (a SERM and an antiandrogen!) and while there is great hope and joy, I also find the prospect daunting. I am wondering what types of photos, physical objects, etc. other people have appreciated having for themselves. Maybe they mark how far you’ve come, where you hope to be, or what it means to be you through it all
Thank you in advance and I love you
I have a psychiatrist report circa 2008 from a “Dr Wolf” the guy was a general psychiatrist for the NHS and I was sent to him in error by my GP rather than begin referred to a GIC.
It’s an incredible document of pure insanity and colonial transphobia, Dr Wolf was the strangest man I’ve ever spoken to, absolutely obsessed with my transgender body and it’s transformation, the whole document describes akin to an SCP. stooped in transphobia transmedicalism he openly cites the HBS and Kinsey scale he spends pages of the document voyeuristically describing my appearance in empirical detail weighing and measuring me with chest and waist measurements I have photos of what I looked like then I assure you I was passable cute geeky girl but this man was wild in his details. The most crazy part is he says all of it completely without malice and I think he liked me despite begin a crazy transphobe.
Referring to me as <Deadname> <Deadname> “Real name” <Surname> although I’d already changed my name via deed poll. Mentioning my chest demonstrates significant “Gynaecomastia” “Despite my BMI height and build begin ‘optimal’ and within feminine norms” and that while he is aware that I’m a “Caucasian male age 21” he also says “Their outward appearance is convincingly that of an unobtrusive young woman” “their voice is somehow of feminine pitch and resonance. Definitely not that of a male. How they have attained this effect is unclear.” “Their mood euthymic, friendly and polite. They are calm and direct in answering my inquiries.” “The only abnormal belief I can ascertain is that they believe themselves to be a woman.” Just insane shit like that as it gose on.
The final part cracks me up. “I believe This pleasant 21 year old student fulfils all diagnostic criteria of Transsexualism ICD10 F64.0 Sex Orientation Scale Group-3 Class-5 Transsexual (True type) Sexual orientation Kinsey scale (4)” I can only picture like an agency operative saying this to his guards as they try to contain me. I guess I’m not pretty enough to be “class-6” :P
Proof transgenders are shapechangers and must be reported to the Church immediately
Also that’s a giant W to have some weird quack marvelling at your feminine wiles like he just discovered a new species
