Right well, i woke up this morning from a phonecall from my counsellor telling me she had asked my GP for a copy of the letter from Leeds GIC which i said i knew cos the receptionist rang me yesterday to ask my permission to send it,i obviously said yes. Apparently my counsellor showed my pysch report to her boss and they were both disgusted with the psychiatrist so they are going to put a letter together and send it to Leeds for me which i'm really happy about. I think they are going to complain about Dr.Khan (the pysch) too which is good.
I am going to be ageist now but i honestly don't care. Dr.Khan is old, i'd say 50s/early 60s with an old way of looking at the world,he was very patronising which i found really annoying. I really think there needs to be some kind of assessment on doctors when they get to a certain age to check that they are mentally fit to practice. He is the second doctor that has prolonged my transition, the first being the GP i orignally saw who has now retired.
After i came off the phone with my counsellor, the lady from PALS rang to say my funding to Leeds has been approved so that will be on going when i get mt referral accepted!
This is a blog about my transition. I hope it helps you if you're struggling with your feelings and what not. Please note my experiences are my own and not that of other trans people.
