I totally just watched your intro video since you mentioned it - love the voice, he he he. Are you going to the Philly Trans Health Conference in June?

[DominoAyeJae]

Unfortunately no, I am OUT of vacation time. And if i do manage to squeeze out some vacation time I'm going to Jamaica again this summer.

how long are FTM suppose to use T? Is it every week in a year or is it more?

[DominoAyeJae]

forever

I realize you're not a big fan of the HBSC but... I live in a country where they would be a HUGE improvement over the current situation. Transpeople in Denmark are working really hard to get the Danish system to even adopt them b/c now the system is:

1 yr therapy with doctors who don't believe in transitioning

PLUS

2 YRS living in role

All before you can even get a name change! Hormones, surgery or anything. And MIN age of 21!

So most of us go through private physicians.

and is a violation of the federal HIPPA law...I have contacted GLBT about this fact and they have not responded...I have even contacted the ACLU in reference to a hate crime that was commited against me in a hostpital ...but am finding it rather sadly humorus that all these groups that are supposed to protect LGBT and civil rights have their hands out wanting donations but when it comes down to the nitty gritty they are no help whatsoever...

I love how you completely shredded HBSOC...LOL...I cannot stand it man....You would think that being trans would be protected under HIPPA law...like for the fact that when receiving a court ordered name change you have to place an ad in a local news paper stating your old name and new name....that blows...and is a violation of the federal HIPPA law...continued....

What is the informed consent method? I'm looking at T and I have a counselor but Idk if she's a LPC. Can anyone help me answer on how I am to go about this. I have 5 months of counseling and my counselor hasn't dealt with transsexuals before. HELP??? btw I am MTF (can't figure out how to change profile name on Youtube)

Isn't the "sixteen year old" thing the same with just GID?

[transgaur]

Wow thats harsh! An I though the system here in Iceland was behind, but it's actually better than this shit!

[BoyzenberryK]

At my clinic I just had to see a psychotherapist one time. She asked me some questions to make sure I wasn't crazy I did my bloodwork and about two weeks later I got my T prescription.

They really need to update the standard of care... they change so many other things, why not this?
