I transitioned around the age of 18, 19.
I would say within the last year, year and a half, that's when I've had thoughts of regrets to transition back as a male.
The clinic that I had gone to, the therapist that I got, she told me that she could get me all the paperwork to transition that after my first session.

After your first session?
Did you just go and say, I think that I'm a woman?
abel garcia ▲ ● ▼
Exactly what she said is that her clinic where she was working at, they're not trying to be gatekeepers for us, for anyone who says they're transgender.
And they try to get them their paperwork quickly.
unidentified
I mean, these are medical professionals, right?
Yes, but they are taking your word for it.
abel garcia ▲ ● ▼
Yes.
unidentified
And what was the criteria that she used to say, yeah, I agree, right, that you actually are transgender?
abel garcia ▲ ● ▼
I believe at the time, I honestly just told her I was transgender, that I wanted to transition from male to female, that I didn't feel comfortable being as a boy.
