Some confusion on my part

[Guest Elielyn]

There is one thing I don't know myself if it was a case of denial or what but when i came out to my parents in the hospital about being transgender, the next day i tried to smooth it over by taking it back. Truth is i had always felt that way but just never said anything, as i said in my intro the last thing i thought of every night before going to bed was wanting to wake up a woman the next day. I also have a genuine disgust of my genitalia, and never liked the appearance of body hair. Also for whatever reason this week i was told to get a hair cut but i was dreading it every day because i had been thinking about growing it out, avoiding re-alerting my parents. I guess my question is im not really sure what i am, If i have the capability to figure out what it is i want and get some drive to take it.

Taking the Cogiati i scored 495, and the SAGE test i scored a 1070

Well as you mentioned in your introduction, you have started seeing a gender therapist, That will be the most helpful in helping you get through all of this and help you start transitioning, hrt etc. It is hard too if you are trying to fly below the radar with your parents, wanting to grow out your hair. Day to day struggles and reminders are never easy.

The cogiati and s.a.g.e can't be relied on to be accurate anyway, hun, so don't even worry about what your scores were. The best thing to do is keep seeing a GT, they can help you sort that stuff out.

I'm glad that you are able to see a Gender Therapist ... this is a big step and it will help you sort things out. There are so many people here who understand what you are going through and although we do not have the answers, we can support you on your journey of self-discovery.

Hugs,

I am not entirely sure some of the tags therapists use but what does MA, PCC-S stand for generally

MA usually stands for Master of Arts, it's a kind of school degree.

no idea what PCC-S would be.

[Guest Amanda Whyte]

After an internet search I found this:

PCC stands for Professional Clinical Counselor, which is a license in Ohio. The “S” means that he is a licensed supervisor in Ohio and can supervise less experienced counselors who are still training or just starting out.

had my first session today, she told me she believed my struggle at this point is not with myself that i knew who i was, its going to be a road of acceptance by others and that she would be there with me to help me on my road to transition

[Guest Elizabeth K]

That last post makes sense. It seems she accepts you as you are.
