Yesterday I got my letter to go ahead with a trans-related medical procedure.

To get my letter I had to sit down with a certified psychologist over multiple sessions & convince that cis professional that

a) I am sane enough to understand what I want & what the pros and cons of doing such a dramatic medical procedure are, AND

b) I really am suffering from DSM reference #302.85 and meet the WPATH Standards of Care criteria for the mental disorder that I am trying to obtain treatment for.

So that’s a hilarious little catch-22 that I’ve now successfully danced through.
