It turns out that both Radboud and my GP can't find the referral in their system, so I've got an appointment with my GP next week to try again 🙄 In other news I just had my first "diagnostic" appointment at the psychiatric practice, where we wrote down more details of my experience with gender dysphoria and transition. We then did what they called a "gender interview" that amounted to us filling out a form that met the DSM5 criteria for gender dysphoria. In our next appointment the subject will be "severity of suffering"

I got another referral to Radboud yesterday. Hopefully I'll get a letter from them soon about it, and if not I guess I'll be calling them again in a week. Also on Wednesday I had another appointment with the psychiatric practice. This time was focusing on "severity of suffering", which largely covered how bad my gender dysphoria was before my transition and what's alleviated since. We'll need to continue the subject in the future, since we didn't really get into my genital dysphoria which is the whole point of this. All of my appointments at this place end super early, which is frustrating. It feels like it's taking way longer than necessary because every session is cut like 45 minutes short. Next week I'll have another appointment with them, this time to talk with a doctor about fertility impacts of the operation. I've been telling them I've had a vasectomy performed and don't want children so there's nothing on the subject to discuss, but they insist on this meeting happening anyway.
