My psychiatrist is going to get a second opinion and ask a specialist psychologist that works with a surgeon team in order to see if it is possible to get srs.My psychiatrist doubts the specialist will say yes.He is not a gender psychiatrist though.He is not surprised people with bipolar has got the ok for srs but schizophrenia people he doubts but sparks proves him wrong in that area.My mom says I'm obsessed with this and I ask her too many questions, or make comments relating to gender issues,this makes my psychiatrist think it's mainly my ocd.My psychiatrist upped my anti-depressants and my ocd pills actually it is the same pill.

Your psychiatrist seems to be ignoring the fact that it's perfectly normal for a transgendered person to obsess over this.

its also possible to have all this running in parallel

example you dive into shallow water and break your back - you need back surgery

that has nothing to do with being transgender its a parallel issue what is happening is this

they are using the social model of what a transgender person is rather than using their skills base and experience - if in doubt drug it out

a similar attitude prevailed for centuries in mental health in asylums - anyone seen the movie one flew over the cuckoos nest - yet the majority of those inmates can live happily and idependently in society CBT and other techniques are too time consuming for many lazy medics

perhaps being offered gender care would alleviate the other issues you have rather than exacerbate them - but they will have to try that idea to know
