[QUOTE="wethreepeeps, post: 94951, member: 3436"] As someone with some knowledge in the gender transition area, I promise you it's not as easy as taking hormones and then growing breasts. Your son's therapist would next refer him to a therapist who specializes in gender identity issues, and he'll have to see that therapist for 6 months and undergo numerous personality tests and *then* if there are no comorbid issues, that therapist will write a letter state he is a candidate for hormone therapy, and then he has to find a trans-friendly endocrinologist to prescribe the hormones. The endocrinologist my require periodic letters to prove he's still in therapy or is making positive steps towards gender transition to continue prescribing the hormones. There is a detailed protocol for treating transgendered patients called the Harry Benjamin standards of care. [/QUOTE]
