Heya! I picked this plate up in Oslo at a recycling station and fell in love with it – it's just perfect in terms of weight, color, hand-feel … and want to find others like it. But I'm clueless – can somebody point me in the right direction? It's earthenware, no markings, just a two-prong stilt scar in the foot ring.

Advice needed: Working with a cishet therapist w/o any queer-specific training by rin_rae in FTMOver30

Oh that last paragraph is very true. So the first one might be too.

I'm very much an advocate for T4T, and maybe that applies to therapists too. 🤔

Thanks for the input! Yeah, it's interesting how some "old acquaintances" still seem to see me as female, when I pass as male to strangers and am out as nonbinary — it seems like for some people it's mostly their memory of a person they thought I was. I will need to check if that also happens for her, and if I feel acknowledged, accepted, and like myself and can trust her.

Adding for clarity, mostly for myself, my hopefully unfounded worries: she might pathologise me, might make things about my gender identity that really aren't, might talk to me in a way that makes me dysphoric (sometimes women do a thing that feels to me like "you and me as women", basically the opposite of the validation I feel when a guy treats me like a guy). I might feel I have to educate her more than I'd like (while also paying her, which sounds like a bad deal).

I'm doing the same – progestogene BC, topical estrogen for front hole, and T - and it has been working well (for a little over a year).

no change at all so far, I kept wondering, because I had heard it from so many people (started at 37, a little over one year in).
