I was looking over the gender therapists list again, and took a closer look at http://www.gendertherapist.com/

It seems like a good enough idea, it's a lot cheeper (easier to convince mom) and I'm a lot better at talking over text than phone or in person. So, I was just wondering if anyone's tried it before or if they had any advice or what.

I've been kinda curious about this too.

I really don't think that an online therapist is going to replace a real life therapist, but for those of us who live far away from specialists of this nature, it might have some use? I'd really love to hear if anyone has any experience with this site.

I don't have any gender therapist in my area. So I am forced to go to an online therapist. I contacted one today, to ask more questions, at "[email protected]", but have not heard back from them as yet. There fee was $35.00 per session or 4 sessions for $100.00. I let the forum know what I find out if any are interested in this route.

I would be veeeery interested in this. I find face to face therapy very stressful when talking about more personal topics -- this would be a epic alternative.

I spoke with one of the online therapists today and although he is abroad he is registered with the American therapy associations and works with many in the USA. His fee is paid through Western Union and said that after 12 sessions he would provide a letter for HRT therapy. His sessions are about 50-55 minutes once a week; and if paid monthly the charge would be a total of $300.00 for the 12 weeks. I know that there is a need for two letters to achieve the HRt and any changes to legal documents such as social security, drivers license, etc. I don't know if he is allowed to do both or if another one is required to achieve the latter letter needs.

Sounds like a start anyway.

Actually you only need one letter for the HRT and the RLT you need a second letter from a PHD for the SRS!

Was that enough initials, that is from the SOC! :D

You only need the letter for HRT, and 2 for SRS at most surgeons.

No letter is required for RLT, only the will and confidence (or a good mental kick in the butt like I did to myself).

Thanks for putting this out here :)

I've been scouring my whole area for therapists, and none of them have a gender background... I'd have to take a 5 hour drive to find an actual gender therapist :wacko: . If they don't work out, this'd be a helpful alternative! :D

I just posted a thread asking the same question in FTM forum...

I am inclined to use this therapist. However, I wonder if his letters would be accepted in the US and would there

be any problems since this overseas and online therapy?

Please share any info you have!

I started using the online therapist Dr. Graham Peveller at [email protected] several months ago because I could not find a gender therapist close to where I live. He listened to my weekly online chat asking questions along the way. Now he has told me that he is satisfied that I am ready for the SRS surgery that I have been wanting for so long and has agreed to issue the letters required for the surgery. I plan on going to Thailand as it is cheaper and they ahve done thousands with great sucess. I would recommend him for any who are in need of a gender therapist. One one thing that he would like is for payment by western union because he can receive the funds faster to his bank. A whole months sessiosn with him are cheaper than one session anywhere else.

By no means do I want to throw cold water on the idea of online therapy, but I'm a suspicious person by

nature. I'm just wondering, how do you verify the credentials of the therapist you're "seeing?" And vice

versa, how can he/she verify who you are, or the veracity of what you say, without looking you in the eye?

The concept just seems strange to me. I would be very careful. The idea that someone would approve

major surgery without ever having "seen" the patient is just plain odd.

Maybe I'm just too old fashioned.

Time to get back to my knitting, don't ya know. B)

Quick question, if your therapist you are seeing has their PHd do you need to worry about getting a second letter still?

yes you do need to worry, the SOC is clear that you need two letters from two independent practitioners

      HRT has little effect on me, misgendering

      By Nonexistent · Posted

      Hello, I'm new to the forum.   I'm a 22yr old trans guy. I've been on T for 6yrs, and I have both top surgery and a hysto. I have meta scheduled for next January.   Despite being on hormones for so long, I still don't pass well. I'm 5'1" which I can't change, no matter how much I hate it. I try and work out every other day, but I can't afford the gym so I just do bodyweight. I have a little muscle on my arms and shoulders, and pretty muscular thighs. I'm skinny overall but I do have a big butt.   The only facial hair I have is on my chin, and it's slight. My face is feminine, though my partners tell me it's not. If it was masculine though, then I wouldn't get misgendered. I think they have a bias from knowing me well and liking me. I have been told by a stranger that I have a feminine face after they misgendered me and my partner asked what made them think I was a girl (which was embarrassing, I prefer to just lower my gaze and walk away and sulk).   My hair has not made a difference in the frequency of misgendering. I had it natural color (brown), but my partner wanted me to dye it silver on the top so I did. This time it came out kind of dark and has a blue tinge to it, which I dislike, but it will lighten up. But all the advice I've heard is 'don't ever dye your hair!' Which makes me think it's why I'm getting misgendered, but in reality the frequency is the same. The sides are short, top is longer and swept to the side. Basic trans guy haircut #01. It comes in the trans guy training manual (lol). But if a cis guy had my haircut, nobody would misgender him. So it's not the hair. And bangs look awful on me so this is all that works. I do also have rounded glasses, which I have heard not to do, but square ones look awful on me (trust me, I've tried).   I wear basic clothes, nothing special. I don't have a washing machine or dryer, so I have to go to the laundromat sporadically when I can afford it. So I have to rewear the same thing multiple times. I just wear a t-shirt and shorts usually. I have 1 pair of jeans, the only pair I could find that fits me (I had to get them from the kids section). I feel like I should dress like guys typically do around here (I live in Texas), maybe it will help me blend in. Though I don't blend in with dyed hair. It makes me self-conscious, but I would feel bad changing it now since my partner just dyed it for me.   I live in a conservative state, obviously, being in Texas. So I don't know if that changes anything regarding passing.   I'm just so sick of it. I was given the hopes that I would pass easily on T if I was just patient, but that's not the case at all. I don't regret going on T, because I do like the changes that I have, but I wish it would do more to help me. People try to tell me I pass well, but I don't think I can trust them when strangers misgender me. It's contrary evidence. It seems like they are lying to me, and I don't appreciate it. I'd rather have my feelings hurt than be lied to.   There's always cosmetic surgery, but I'm schizophrenic and mentally disabled so I can't make enough money to afford that since I can't work.   If it's unfixable, then how do you cope with knowing you will never pass? Is there even any way to cope? How do I deal with getting misgendered? It just makes me so depressed every time, even though I don't care what random people think about me. It reminds me I hate how I look and that I look too feminine. And that I'll never look the way that I'm supposed to.   (Please no toxic positivity)

      I am a little confused about the word in your title there.    Defamation is a variation I know about, and it is akin to Libel and Slander in meaning, and could be the object of a court action or a couple of types.   If you are referring to the act of denying or taking away your feminine gender, ie. they keep using masculine names and pronouns or referring to you as  a "man" or "man in a dress", then yes it happens to me on rare occasion and if it is online, I simply block the moron doing it or leave the group where they are doing it, and may or may not come back if the person is there.  When people are willing to learn about Trans Folks I do give what are jokingly referred to as Trans 101 or even more in depth classes to the receptive and accepting audiences.  I DO NOT however try to teach a pig to sing, which as they say sounds like hell and annoys the pig.  If someone is invalidating your gender, get away from them safely and FAST.

      Well, this last post brings my trans life up to date.  What happens from here is anyone's guess.  The next big milestone will be retirement, probably next year some time.  I don't think that will change things much for Sally because as I have stated previously, I am in a mostly happy place where she is concerned.    I do have a few more posts planned, as I would like to write in more detail about a few occurrences that were memorable to me.  Hopefully they will be of interest to others.    Hugs,   Sally

      By Vidanjali · Posted

      Yes, this is very therapeutic. You are able to see different aspects of your own personality. There is the part which has survived life thus far through decision making and lots of trial and error. That part of you is your wise and capable parent. When you feel strongly identified with the scared child in you, you can turn to the wise parent part of you whom you trust to guide you. You have faith and trust in that part of you necessarily because it has gotten you this far. Naturally, we all have room for improvement and advancement, but you can only start where you are and try to do your best with what you have to work with and deal with. But by adopting this attitude, you see that wise parental part of you become stronger, wiser, and more steadfast and skillful. Then the child in you increasingly becomes more trusting and carefree.

      You want to hear coincidence? I just posted that and my neighbor just texted me and said she has been up early because there were Northen Lights outside. Then 2 seconds later I get an extreme weather alert. “We are experiencing Extreme Geomagnetic conditions observed and continued severe geomagnetic storms expected to continue through the weekend”.
