I couldn't afford to go private and especially as I'm still with my wife of nearly 24 years (I now refer to her as my partner). I'm doing it the NHS way. To be honest, I would say - be prepared for everything to take a long time, a really long time. That being said, go fill that time with useful things that you need to get done anyway. Facial hair removal is one that I would suggest starting as quickly as possible (I started doing mine in June 2012) because it requires lots of treatments over a long period of time. I'm still having the odd session to clear up stubborn little blighters who remain but these are getting less and less. I know it's an odd thing to say, but I've always looked forward to my sessions because each one is one step closer to where I want to be.........I am going the private route for complicated reasons myself but I still have major involvement from my GP, blood work, speech therapy and prescriptions along with general support and she is really great...
Yes, I would agree with Casaluna. The troglodyte you are seeing at the moment is not going to be much use to you and you are better off finding another before you start your 'journey'. Don't rule out a male GP though, I've had both and they have both been wonderful with me. The first was a female who I came out to and who I told how I was feeling. She looked into what she needed to do and asked me if I wanted her to proceed with referral etc - I 'bottled it' and asked for more time to think about it. Several weeks later I said to her that I couldn't continue and she was fine. We then moved house and almost 2 years later (with my new male GP) I did the same again, including the thinking time AGAIN........I would strongly suggest that you consider changing to another GP because you will need to feel comfortable talking to them on an ongoing basis in the future. I would personally choose a female one but there are good male ones as well........
