Well... It's kind of a long story... some of which I may tell in a later thread someplace. But the short of it is I just I quit my last therapist a few weeks ago. She was very nice & I liked her allot. She was also experienced in working with people who have trans issues. She had also started a group with some of her trans clients.

Unfortunately our individual sessions were more like meeting a friend over coffee than they were like therapy & I just couldn't justify the cost. So, at this point, I don't have anything like that. And I don't know who else I would see. I've had a number of therapists in the past... most of whom were dreadful! I've looked around but can't find anyone else.

Actually I know quite a few trans individuals as a result of having been on YouTube for a couple of years or so. And, over time, I've had many discussions with them. But the reality is that at my age & with my life situation at this point, there's really nothing of consequence that I can do about my "trans-ness". Also, I've had mental health issues all of my life too. And it's not clear to me which came 1st, not that this makes much difference at this point.

I have done a fair amount of reading with regard to the transgender phenomenon. You are correct. The current thinking is that there are hormonal imbalances that occur in utero that cause this. There's no real proof of this that I'm aware of. But that's the current thought.

Thanks for commenting on my post!
