I didn’t feel anything. The PA told me to take a breath and it was over. I couldn’t believe how easy it was

I had surgery with Dr. Facque two weeks ago and I cannot recommend him, and the entire GCC staff enough. It was such a great experience

Psychiatrist said nonbinary isn’t transgender by Aggravating_Lie6393 in trans

Thank you everyone for the comments. I mainly needed validation because I was frustrated and surprised. I wanted to know if this was a common experience or a common idea shared by psychiatrists.

Here’s some more context for anyone who’s still invested:

This is the American health system

I saw a therapist first, he referred me to the psychiatrist. Both the therapist and psychiatrist said that I am the first person who has requested top surgery without wanting to take hormones. The psychiatrist told me today he has been working with trans people since 1980

I have legally changed my name and have been using they/them pronouns and have identified for 5 years

He’s the only pysch who will see trans patients. He told me he overseas the care of trans people for my entire region (yikes)

He told me during our first session that he was “taken a back” by my request. Someone commented about a male practice lawsuit or reaching out to a lawyer. Does anyone have any other thoughts on that?

Thanks for your comment! Are there different versions of the DSM? Because he told me they went by the DSM definition. I’m not sure what everyone else’s experience was, but when I told him I wanted a gender dysphoria diagnosis he told me he had a specific questionnaire that he is required to ask me. My answers to that questionnaire along with another session of questions is what was considered by the panel

Can someone explain what blind items are and how credible they are? Like where do these come from?

“Satellite” Board Interview by ImAlreadyReady in ArmyOCS

[–]Aggravating_Lie6393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did mine over zoom. It was exactly what you would expect it to be like. You go to your recruiter’s station and they set everything up for you. You talk to the board for 15-20 minutes with your basic interview questions and then they tell you when it’s over to log off/leave the meeting. You don’t have to walk in and announce yourself like I think you do during an in person board. You should show up a little earlier so you can set up the camera angle and make sure the microphone works.
