[QUOTE="Super Kami Guru, post: 5619, member: 22"] Oh I absolutely agree with this, and I think so does the vast majority of the trans community (at least from my outside perspective). It's a process, and it seems a bit shortsighted to only require a minor evaluation and letter signing off saying that they can go through with it, and yet not providing follow-through from a psychological standpoint, too. Transitioning is a lot more than just hormonal and wardrobe changes, it's a hell of a big change in lifestyle as a whole. You can't make that without support around you, I've learned that much from my trans friends and I try to be as supportive in my limited understanding of their situation as I can be. I'm with you on this, too, it's far too easy for people to obtain hormones and start transitioning these days. It's insanity that it's as simple as it is (I know for those looking to transition the process seems convoluted and as though it takes forever, but there does not seem to be enough oversight). I'd hate to start down such a path, thinking that I was doing what was right for me, then come to find I don't like what' I'm getting myself into or I've had a change of heart and I'm shit out of luck because I've gone past the point where damage has been done. Women whose voices have changed to a more masculine tone and being stuck with that, or who had mastectomies to remove their breasts (ok, you can get implants, but that's not the same as actually having breasts [based purely on second hand knowledge, obv]), or who have facial hair growing non-stop, etc. Men who are now sterile, have grown breasts of their own, or have undergone electrolysis to stop hair growth permanently...changes that they can't undo. They need to be getting help and support throughout the entire process, particularly if they find out it's not what they were expecting along the way! Oh absolutely, the vast majority is always tainted by the vocal minority, which is a shame because it's never representative of a culture as a whole. Whoops! Almost took an off-topic thread onto a topic! :oops: [/QUOTE]
