A question for non-ops in the community about HRT, therapy, and timelines...

Cross posted to mtf, transgender, and transseattle.

I self identify as a non-op, male to female transgendered woman. After doing a lot of research, I am looking to begin anti-androgens. However, I am not about to go forward without a doctor's supervision. So far, I have only found one doctor in the Seattle area that will prescribe them, but she requires the letter from the therapist.

My question for the other non-ops on HRT who have chosen this route for reasons other than money (or a lack there of) is: Did this notion of not getting SRS come up in your sessions? How did you respond to this and how did the therapist respond to this? If you are in the Seattle area, would you recommend this therapist to other non-ops that are seeking HRT?

Thanks in advance!

How do you feel or what do you think when another trans person of the opposite gender says to you, we should switch bodies (or something similar)?

Would you say this to another trans person?
