we have all heard about this murder but this is the first i have heard of the ruling. Im sad that this happened but it being tried as a hate crime has set a precedence to try any hate attacks against us.

Perring or Curtis? (transition in the uk)

[bloginthelifeof.livejournal.com]

After counseling and psych sessions, I have finally been referred for Charring Cross. However, after always hoping of going private this news didn't exactly thrill me.

If I can convince Dad to fork out the cash for a private specialist, I'm currently not too sure who I should go to. Initally, I wanted to go to Dr Curtis after having spoken to some of his patients. However, the internet now has quite a few negative reviews popping up about him. Many people are favouring Dr Perring. I'm really not sure where I stand and would very much appreciate some thoughts from people who have been in either of their care.

Thank you in advance.
