I think she sounds like a good T and your relationship has deepened now that you have been more open with her. She seems to be trying to learn about you and your issues. So far, so good? If you feel you might need more of a specialist, could you discuss that with her too? She might have some good insights on that.

You're right. I see her tomorrow so we can have a conversation about the phase idea. I personally don't see this as a phase, and I've mentioned that to her. I know that she is reluctant to diagnose me as GID because she has no experience, that's mostly what makes me think she's thinking this is a phase. But of course, as time continues to pass and this continues to stick, I'm sure her opinion will change.
