if you feel like they're stalling you and you're worried about getting more masculine, buy test blockers, 100mg spironolactone every 12 hours

Was self medding for 5 months when I went in. They asked my pronouns and I obviously picked opposite gender (female) ones which never got used anyway.

Psych asked me to tell her my story chronologically then asked a few questions about my relationship with people and how I feel. Normal stuff like 'do you have access to guns?' and 'do you hear voices speaking to specifically you on the radio?' to screen for psychos. Appointment was gonna take 1 hour and a half but she finished it at 40 mins and ran through the DSM-V with me and concluded I had gender dysphoria.

40 mins and got my diagnosis. 4 days later had my letter of referral to the endocrinologist. This is the kind of speed self-medding gets you.

How do you behave? Whats your fashion sense like? Do you like boys or girl? Are you happy in your body?

The moment you suspect they're a religious therapist, christian counsellor, or not a gender specialist you should just leave.

Protip: A good therapist wont tell you that you're trans. They just listen and guide you to lines of inquiry that help you find yourself before formally handing down a diagnostic when you understand and identify with the DSM-B criteria. You may want to self-med.
