I'm super frustrated with how our governments treat us.

Since my family doctor appointment two days ago, I've been really angry.
I live in Canada and to have HRT in my province you need dysphoria. I'm in my thirties and they require me to see a psychologist to diagnose me with dysphoria. I do have dysphoria but it is not as strong as most other MTFs. And I'm not that feminine, I'm more tomboyish. For example I love wearing a beanie in winter and a baseball cap during summer. I don't want to have to suffer through all the trouble of seeing a psychologist for HRT. I feel like I should be able to make my own decisions about my body. I just want to access the treatment I need without jumping through hoops. It's already hard enough to come to terms with my gender identity. I don't want to have to go through an additional process of talking to a psychologist and being judged by them.
I'm afraid they won't let me have HRT because I'm a tomboy. It's not fair to have to justify my identity and gender expression to someone who doesn't understand what I'm struggling with. As a tomboy, I'm worried that I won't be accepted as a transgender woman, and that my gender expression won't be taken seriously.
I'm scared that I won't be given the medical care I need, and have to prove my identity to receive it. I want to be able to access HRT without having to prove who I am. I want to be respected and accepted for who I am, without having to explain myself... And I'm sure they'll use my schizophrenia against me.
As someone diagnosed with schizophrenia, I'm worried that it will be used against me in terms of accessing medical care and being accepted as a transgender woman. People may not take my gender expression seriously, or may use my mental health diagnosis to invalidate my identity.
I hate this planet...I hate my life
You're viewing part of a thread.
Sorry for asking, you don't have to answer if you're not comfortable.
You say your dysphoria is not as strong as most other MTFs yet why are you compelled to commit suicide? You've probably been dealing with these issues for decades, why now has it come to this?
There are other things happening in my life. I know I will be denied estrogen, it was my last chance to be slightly happy. Last week, I told my family I'm trans. I didn't try to get estrogen before because I rely on my mom for everything. I can't even talk on the phone because I am schizotypal and i have an intense fear of humans.
Even if you're denied you can always try again with another psychologist and the experience of having done so prior will help you succeed.
What is it that you are looking for from HRT and how do you believe that it will make you happy?
Tits and better skin.. You are extremely rude btw.
Well you're gonna have to learn to answer invasive questions, if you're meeting with a psychologist.
what is your problem exactly? Did i do something wrong to you? Was a comment i made offensive to you and this is your revenge?
I just don't believe action-less sympathy and defeatism solves anything.
I was triggered into extreme paranoia by you. You are an asshole...I'm shaking in anger and what you have done will probably cause a lot of harm.
google Schizotypal, if you're smart, you will understand that what you did is wrong... Don't talk to me if your not going to be polite.
