Is there a way to have an online therapist? There is no transgender therapists anywhere close to me

Just a quick update: "Laura's Playground" is now "TransPulse, Transgender Resources" and can be reached at transgenderpulse.com.

I’m so great to find your channel! I’m transgender but sensitive to chemicals and never transitioned. I’m glad you’re making videos! If I had KZfaq in 2004, my 20s could have been a lot easier. Haha So happy we have it now! ❤️

As i was watching your video, i opened the page you suggested and sure enough, there are a few in my area.

I am in the middle of trying to figure out my gender identity right now and have a non-specialized therapist, whom I haven't told about my situation. I do trust them and intend to tell them soon but should I seek out a gender specific therapist?

Good video! Also: I can't help but feel that the idea of policing our uncertain or hesitant-sounding speech patterns comes from a bad place. I didn't once actually notice any "um" in your video, because I don't listen critically for those anymore. Our culture says that if you "um," it makes you sound like you don't know what you're talking about or don't have any confidence in what you're saying. I think that comes from patriarchy, competitiveness, dominance-seeking behavior, and assigning the negative-spin on the opposite of those traits -- weakness as opposed to gentleness, uncertainty as opposed to cautious consideration, etc -- to femininity, in order to use it against women by default, some men, and all non-binary people by setting assigned-gender rules for behavior. I think, instead, that "um" could be interpreted to mean that the person speaking is searching for the best word to most accurately express what they are saying, or that the subject is nuanced and deserves careful consideration when using language. It *could* sometimes just be a speech pattern that has become an unthinking habit. It could also just be how you talk and we could just all be cool with that! As a person who wants to radically alter her own body, mannerisms, aesthetics, etc, I have to acknowledge that you have every right to decide how you want to talk. It's a thing I'm changing about myself, so why not you, if you want to, and for no other reason than because you want to? I just worry about the why and where it comes from, and whether the self-acceptance I want to find is valid if it isn't universal, so I want to spread it -- I'm admitting to some semi-selfish motives, but also trying to relate to your experience. You can change your speech to serve yourself, you just don't have to do it for anyone else unless you want to. Personally, I'm in love with "ums" and lilts and vocal fry and "like" and singsong and animated expressiveness and want to get to do as much of it as I can get away with in order to make up for lost time. It might not be for you and I don't know your gender identity and I don't want to seem like I'm assuming and I apologize in advance if I've already done that ack!

My doc just slowing everything down, feels like there is no communication between doc, gender clinic and the shrink lol, I feel nothing is moving forward, also the gender therapist , lol once I get there I feel li, e im just going to be talking to them for a year or so, I dont need therapy lol I want to transition, I couldnt do it in my teens because of family, finally at the age where nobody can bother me , and feel my lifes already wasted, feel ive known since 4 or so, now ive finally too old to care and ready to do it and just feels like im getting stopped by people who dont have a clue, yet have a say over it, if it was some kind of a fettish which had come on over a couple of months I could understand , but its really horrible to go through, Ive had to live like this all my life to save others mentality , while everyones playing happy famillies , getting on with their lives getting married having children, when I cant even think of meeting anyone, feels like im putting out a false advertisment, I know il end up wanting to do it alone if they keep this up, but I dont really care, I have nothing to lose , I should already have been there

Do these sites only work for in the U.S? I am in Australia, from when I have researched there is only ONE therapist in my entire city and he only has two bookings per fortnight and his client base is fully booked plus he will not take on any more clients until others have transitioned plus he has a backlog of people waiting to see him so it will be ages to even get to see him ONCE... :( Then see him for a year beg=fore even starting HRT...Seems like it is so difficult with everything hindering me to just be me.

Trueselves is a nice, small site to find information regarding therapists, endocrinologists and other such useful information. The one thing I will say is that it's more on the quiet side compared to Susans so you might not find a whole lot of information if you're in a certain area. For example, I'm in a city on the small-medium side as far as the population goes (less than 80k residents) in PA and I managed to find two names, but when it came to looking for information in a huge city in TX (well over 150k residents) for someone I know, nobody had anything to say. So TS can be helpful, but don't use it as your main source for looking up information. DrBecky is great as well, but I don't know how often the site updates.

OK, I need some wisdom. I spent some time today looking around the Portland OR/Vancouver WA area for a gender therapist. Lots of results come up yes, but the problem is that none accept my health care provider. I don't have the funds to cough up 100 dollars a session. Then again, I don't even know how many sessions I would need. What should I do?

I counted uhhs and ums and came up with 37. If I wasn't sure if it qualified, I counted it. Interestingly, the first four minutes (half) held less than 10 ums (25% or less), so take that as you will. Also, I did not notice that you said um at all the first watch through.

Unfortunately there's only one gendertrapist in my country and I'm from a border city in a terrible middle east country and this gender trapist works at the central city and it's about 8 hours to get there and also considering that I haven't come out yet to anyone even my family I'm going throw such a terrible unbearable time that is making me crazy / so the only option that has left for me is that i should try to do research by my self to find out my gender identity (my problem is that I don't know if I'm drag queen or trans) and I'm getting closer and closer to the answer by watching transgender or drag queen videos talking about their own experience of self discovery 👉At the end I have to say just be grateful and appropriate god every single day for allowing you to live in United States or some other countries like that 👈

transgender resource center..for New Mexico and then look at their provider list.
