Huh?

[Carolyn Marie]

LOL! Inside joke, Tori.

You posted and I replied late at night (PDT), and then the topic languished overnight and fell onto a back page.

So Donna Jean replied in the early morning, "bumping" it back onto the front page where more people would see it.

We do that from time to time.

I will repost the relevant information from my reply to you in another thread:

As I have only seen one Kaiser therapist, I cannot verify what he has told me or anything like that, but what he has essentially said is this: 'Kaiser doesn't follow the SOC. It just doesn't work out like that. Just work with your PCP (if they're supporting; if not, find another one who is) to find an endocrinologist or the like who will work with you to get you want you want. No letters or anything like that.' As I said, I do not know if Kaiser is actually like this, but it's what I have been working off of.

As it seems you are still looking for a therapist, I can offer you a little advice.

People in Kaiser are there for you. Most of them want to help you.

Ask around. Ask for lists of trans-friendly doctors (as ReginaRenea suggested, though I personally have no experience) if there are any. Ask your PCP (or someone else if you have someone better to ask) to try to find a therapist for you with experience or to refer you to an endocrinologist or whoever. Ask them to ask around themselves, send letters out or whatever to try to find someone with experience if you can't.

There are always people who do. Or at least people who know of people who do.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Or should I say, annoying patient gets the help they want.
