trans Howdy howdy howdy.
I recently relocated to Fort Myers, Florida. It was definitely an adventure and much needed fresh start, unfortunately there were sacrifices. I had to leave my therapist behind. I've known her for probably over a decade and it was refreshing to have someone whom I trusted completely and was totally open with. She was very supportive of LGBT issues and is the one who has diagnosed me.
I also left behind the medical doctor. That, I have mixed feelings about. She was supposedly "The" gender doctor in the area but I won't miss her. Horrible manners, quick to judge, et cetera.
Unfortunately, that leaves me a bit high and dry in the professional support area (I have local friends for the personal support).
Is anyone in here familiar with TG services in the Southern Florida area? I have no qualm traveling up to Tampa or even over to Miami or Orlando if I have to. I'm definitely looking for a medical doctor for hormone prescription and possibly a therapist for unloading emotional baggage.
A moderate amount of Google resulted in a few support groups but I wanted to check her for personal recommendations.
Also, hi there! I have a Tumblr detailing my transition. I had to take a break from my TG life to sort out other personal disasters but I should be much more contributive in the next week or so. :)
