Do you see a therapist trained/experienced in gender dysphoria?

Some areas/regions have clinics available for gender-related issues.


As you have found out, binders are often not enough to hide breasts. Please be careful with binding/binders as using them for prolonged periods, without a break, can run the risk of doing some serious damage.


Gender Dysphoria needs to be taken seriously. Please seek some professional help with this struggle.

I talk to my psychologist about it. He’s not too experienced with the issue, and apparently their clinic is going through a gender training course at the moment to learn how to help transgender people.

I’m in a very LGBTQ+ area, and so there is a lot of things to do in that regard.

I asked my pdoc about looking into top surgery things for me, and she said she would, and I meet her on Monday so here’s hoping.

For my binders, I am unsure if I ordered a size too big or not, as it doesn’t make it uncomfortable for me to wear, so I do tend to wear it for like 12 hours or so.

Thank you for your response.
