Went to a Gender Therapist Today (11/24/2020)

Today was the first time in four years that I've been to a gender therapist. My mom took me so we can see if I can get started on testosterone (T). The lady was very nice and accepting! However, as some of you may know, most testosterone is given through shots. I, however, have a huge needle phobia. I should probably mention that I'm transgender (Female to Male) and that I use he/him pronouns, however my gender expression is mainly gender neutral/feminine. I often get misgendered a lot, so while we were out today my mom got us haircuts!! I hadnt gotten one in over a year, so my hair had grown quite long and I was feeling super dysphoric. So yeah, I have a new haircut and I'm feeling super good about myself! I'm going to start a birth control soon to minimize my periods, so that's gonna help with my gender dysphoria a bit. I'm going to do some studying about DID tonight before I go to bed. I'm super interested in psychology, so I'm super fascinated by this disorder! If I say anything that comes off as offensive, please let me know. The last thing I want to be is disrespectful. Anyways, I'm going to sign off now. I hope you enjoyed reading my first blog!
