I'm Dutch and in two months I'll see a psychiatrist to get a diagnosis. I'm so curious what she's going to ask cuz I honestly don't know why anybody would make this shit up. I know that she's supposed to be good though.
The last one put me on the autism train and I said that if that's true it doesn't bother me in the least, so what about the trans diagnosis?
Anyway I'm DIY now ¯\(ツ)/¯
Really pisses me off.
I had a discussion with someone on a Dutch forum recently who said people make this stuff up just to 'be different' so they are more accepted. The amount of anti-trans disinformation there is really crazy now.
I'm not trans myself (though I'm definitely a bit queer) but I have several trans friends and I know the stuff they go through so it triggers me. I'm really sorry this law is probably not making it through.
PS I'm sorry about your crush 😢 (Sorry I clicked through to your profile - not stalking 😇 )
Yeah I probably am too though never diagnosed. Doesn't really bother me either. Either way I am who I am whatever label you put on it and I have to deal with that.
To be more accepted, haha omg it's a lot of things but it's the polar opposite of feeling accepted. Maybe it's because people don't feel accepted that they tend to express the need more and that's why it might seem like that's the issue to an outsider.
😊 It's okay thx for writing that. I'm sad but also relieved because it wasn't an entirely new issue.
Hmm well if I have autism I'd be surprised. I'm basically the opposite of it as far as I can tell, and unfortunately I often have issues getting along with people who have it. He specifically ignored my trans related questions so I presume he was simply being transphobic. Safe to say I didn't go again and will file an official complaint soon in the hopes of them getting training. It's dangerous.
