It sounds like your psychologist perhaps considers that body dysmorphia is involved, and that the surgery is part of a bigger issue for you. He definitely could have put it in a more delicate fashion. 
For what its worth though, psychological issues surrounding decisions about surgery are precisely a psychiatrists business. That's something they are almost uniquely qualified to opine about. |
I agree, but if that was what he was thinking, he should have told me. He has never udder the words gender dysmorphia to me. I am only being treated for GAD. When I told him I hate them in my long explanations of reasoning, he also blew that out of proportion. I don't hate breasts, I hate my large problematic ones that get in my way physically and are sore all the time...that's why I hate them not because I wish I had no breasts and or vagina and wished I had a penis. Has nothing to do with me. Sure I am questioning if I am a lesbian, but I would be what they call a "lipstick lesbian" or one who looks straight and couldn't be gay. I love breasts, on me or on any woman.
