Overall it doesn't seem like there is much I can do at the minute then? I'm going to get the ball rolling and book an appointment next week though , at least that's something. Is there no way I can get blockers between now and being referred, I don't really want to self medicate

Transition seems like a super long process using the NHS route :/ Do you know hoe long it will take from first attending the Gender Identity Clinic, to when I'll be able to take hormones? It looks like it will be awhile before I tell my parents :/ Also what's the best way to explain this to my GP, as I've said before, I'm quite shy as it is...
For now like I said, I'll approach my GP hopefully next week or the week after, in terms of counselling, should I ask for one from my GP or get one through my university? I imagine one at my university would be more open to dealing with these kinds of things?
Thank you again for your help and answering my questions, I've been more accepting of myself and I've definitely calmed down quite a bit since I started doing research and talking to you. I think I'm starting to lean more towards the idea of being a woman, I do feel that I'll be judged more which is certainly something I could do without.
Thanks again though I hope we'll be able to keep in contact throughout this whole thing, and sorry for all the questions, hope I'm not too annoying
