    I got a psych assessment earlier this year and finally got the interpretation or whatever they call the results back. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ They suggested that:

    1. I have severe gender dysphoria and should be notified of this to potentially explore the matter (Except I was already transitioning during the time of the assessment. Hmmmmmmmm.....)

    2. I have mild androphobia.

    I mean it seems to make sense; apparently I expressed a lot more anxiety and did tasks with less accuracy and far less efficiency when part of the test was conducted by a male, and I didn't even know that I've been doing things like crossing roads to avoids crossing paths with men. They said it could likely be a result of past abuses, but to be honest I got about equally abused between the genders in younger years. The men were more physical, the women were more psychological. Hard to tell which hurt more. I'm not sure I know what to make of having this phobia... :/
