Kraken1851: Thanks so much for the reply and the response. It was really rough, especially since I wasn't in a good place to begin with. I do want to talk with her and tell her that she made me feel really bad and that it felt like she was invalidating my gender identity. The weird thing is that she was chosen to be my therapist BECAUSE she has a lot of experience with lgbtq individuals...So...I don't know why she's been treating me like this. I admit, I have a hard time explaining things but I'm tired of people invalidating my identity. I may talk to her, but I think I may just need to get a new therapist at some point because she clams up when I talk about certain things...But I will try my best to talk to her. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate the advice. I like the letter suggestion. =)
