What I think about this is it's outrageous anyone must go through what you have been through and still having to deal with. A country the size of Canada should have more than one facility to deal with potential transgender and that it should not take that long to get approval. My approval was within two visits of my first therapist and three visits for the second. Big difference is that I paid in cash for surgery out of my savings.

Brigsby, Wow, I would like to say that I can't believe that line of questioning (about masturbation, etc.), but sadly I can. I could see some questioning of sexual interest and/or fantasies, but positions!?!? Wow. I was discussing that part of the procedure with my therapist the other day and the fact that you need letters from 2 people to be approved for surgery. Neither of us knew if that meant I'd have to see a second psychologist (or something) for a few months. When I see my endocrinologist next week I'm going to ask about surgeon referrals so that I can start talking to them about what exactly is required. It sounds like at least in that area our 2 countries are similarly annoying (to say the least) about the process. "Informed consent" should really be enough. I'm a f*@#ing adult!!! Anyway - good luck! Christie
