@Abigail GenevieveSomewhere in the Forums here, we have a link to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health's Standards Of Care, now at revision 8 but it is available in plenty of places. https://www.wpath.org/soc8. These are the canons for the allied medical fields that deal with Trans people and are the guidance for those professionals. I personally know members of the Association and have toyed with the idea of becoming an associate member since I am not a medical professional but because I like to keep on top of what is going on medically. There are a number of Trans people who think they are overly oppressive as far as the gatekeeping goes, but the medical / psychological profession members who follow these guidelines for there patients WILL NOT be forcing their patients into unneeded or harmful surgery or medications. I read my first pitiful and heart-rending "detransitioning" story 60 years ago when I snuck a tabloid newspaper behind a comic book down at the neighborhood convenience store when I was 16 years old and reading it off the rack which should have been adult only. I am afraid that it was the first thing I ever read that told me about Trans and Transsexual people, it would be another 30 years before I actually figured out my own story. The story I later found out, was NOT written by a Trans person, but a well known Porn scribbler who wrote many fantastic and gory stories about what he thought Trans people were. We are not anything like his imagination, but he was a "press agent" for Trans people of the time. We do have some well known and noisy, negative view Detransitioners who have been found to have gone to multiple psychologists and lied their way Transitioning, one of the most infamous actually hid Dissociative Identity Disorder, right therapist wrong Identity that was being counseled. It is a messy story. The public, like my first encounter, was NOT getting their information from the scientific journals of the time, they were getting it from Adult Entertainment and Tabloids We need to be careful of where we get some of our ideas from. Evidence is good that the person at the heart of this thread gets most of his information from us from the slanted and non-scientific sources most people get theirs. OOPs, I( may have sent this off track here, but but but. -

Yet another failed attempt. Glad to know that we are more important than education or health care to them. -

Well the VA tried setting me up with another appointment with laser even though they won't cover it? This just doesn't make sense. Back to the waiting game on electrolysis. I'm in a area that doesn't do much of that. There is one place that covers face only. There is another one that looks like they do it in their home. Other than that it's it for nearby. I don't think they are wanting to do it due to how expensive it's going to be. Typical VA stuff dragging their feet. -

'right-wing playbook'? I have read detransitioning stories in which the detransitioner felt they were pushed into transitioning. My point is that people should neither be inappropriately kept back or inappropriately pushed to transition. I looked for the story but in the time I had I found this interesting article https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-transyouth-outcomes/ If someone detransitions they should not be rejected. It is hard enough to transition once. I hate to think what these people are going through, and the reception they get from the TG folk. Need to do a better job. -

Good afternoon and welcome to Transgender Pulse Forum @mattie22 @VickySGVcovered the best advice, so the only thing I can add is you're in a safe place here to be who you really are. Look around and join in on any of the conversations that interest you. Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated, Mindy🌈🐛🏳️⚧️🦋 -

Welcome to TGP. Conflicting feelings are normal for many, most, perhaps all of us especially during the questioning phase. Vicky offers great advice. Finding people who understand what you are going through will help tremendously in answering your questions and finding your own reality. Best of luck as you move forward! -

One of my first suggestions here is to find a nearby LGBTQ Center and join a support group for Non-binary individuals which is going to have a wide base of people in your position although some who have been doing it for a while. It will be a safe environment that will be non-judgmental toward you however you present around them. Next issue is going to be finding counseling on Gender Issues, the same LGBTQ center with the peer support groups may also know of therapists who are Gender Therapists, and who, if they cannot use your insurance will deal with you on an "ability to pay" sliding scale. -

Who is encouraging people to transition? This reads like something out of the right-wing playbook. Who is railroading people into transition? I agree with allowing people to be who they are, regardless of how they were or thought they were.
