    Today I received a letter marked "Private and confidential". Ominous, right?

    Turns out it was the copy of the letter the mental health professionals I saw some time last week have sent to my Doctor.

    The letter is full of glaring errors, some I can see happening because I might not have been clear (I was freaking out and scared at the time) others I just cannot fathom! (Apparently I moved house the first time 5 years before I actually moved). It's really really bad.

    BUT, it had good things. Apparently I 'walk with a feminine gait' whatever that means. My hair appears feminine apparently. But most importantly I have been recommended to get a referral to the gender clininc! YAAAAAAY! I'm one step closer to the goal!!!

    So your eventual goal is surgery then?

    Yep, eventually. Fortunately at the moment surgery isn't a desperate thing, hormones and other bits and pieces definitely are though. :slight_smile:

    Thanks guys <3

    @silver_sparrow I probably COULD go over the letter, but I really don't dare just in case it takes even longer to get to the gender clinic. I can correct it once I get there ;D
