    My husband (MtF) and I (bi-gender?) may have finally found a counselor. Now I'm completely anxious to actually SEE someone and get an actual diagnosis - not what "I think I am." I need to move forward with my life, whatever it will be. I still have no clue what it is I want, what paths forward are available to me.

    Unfortunately that counselor is three hours away. Actual face to face visits will either have to be monthly or even less often, and/or by phone/Skype. The good side to that is not having to worry about being outed before we're ready in a small community by being seen walking in or out of a trans counselor's office.

    We live in a very remote rural town/small city, and our primary care provider has urged us to avoid the handful of local counselors, who are apparently not exactly of the best reputation.
