I'm about to start seeing a new T, my last one was male, this
one is a female. Okay, so the problem is she said she deals most with womens issues.

gggrrrrr that sucks...the reason why is, I sort of am a female...but not really. Not mentally anyway. I don't want to be treated like a female (and if asked specifically in what way...I really don't know lol!) I just do not wanted to associated with as a female. I think I would die if I told her this and asked me "why? you have some feminine qualities." No offense to other females out there-I apologize in advance...and besides, I'm in a lesbian relationship. Although she is butch too.

Also, I took psychology of women...yeah they don't get paid the same as men, yeah they are always subjected to submissive positions and are pressured by society in many ways. I'm sorry, but I don't relate to any of those pressures; We had one chapter on psych of men-that was what I related to-pressures to not cry in public, pressures to be the bread winner...and stuff I wish I could remember.

This is really kicked up by the fact that I had to by bras the other day....I have never wanted to be a male so badly in my life (but, to clarify, I am transgender-not male or female-I really don't fit in as a male either...I'm freakin' 5'0, not assertive, whatever-just constantly feel like I've got something to prove.)

so that be my vent lolz

hey, objtrbit - I started with a new therapist 8 months ago. I walked into my first session with a list of issues written down and read them off. Then, I asked bluntly, "can you help me?" You might consider doing the same. Also, do not be afraid to ask a new T what their specialties are and the modalities they employ. Also, consider stating what you want to achieve in therapy. If she waivers, don't be shy. Ask if she can refer you to someone who is more familiar with your issues. All the best to you!

lol I was day dreaming about that! I also thought of wearing a hoodie and on the intake report- marking of to the side, or inbetween the gender question haha...let insurance figure that one out lolz.

Man I think I really want this T though-found her on psychology today, she is slightly educated in psychodynamic therapy, but specializes in rogerian and a bit of gestault too, whcih means I might be able to pick up some techniques off of her (cuz I want to be a T.) Now that I've taken the time to think about it too, I think all that fear that she "treats me like a female" is actually a wish-because I'm pretty sure I want to pick a fight lol.

Oh boy lol, you know what? Thanks, I will do that list lol.

Take care,
