n he was like.

"oh. those two doctor's letters are refering to the letters you aquired in case you have already changed your name and gender legally. if you havent, you dont need em."

me on monday, having a scheduled appointment that same week (today) with my psych to get that letter after a year: 🙃

i mean! its the opposite of a problem?? but actually now i feel bada bit. i couldnt tell my psych today, after all this time, so just goin through with it. the last thing my psych needs from me now is a diagnosis report thing from my endo which i needed anyway so?? good?? but...its also my psych's effort here. he is writing the letter afterall in his precious time...

maybe its helpful in the end, given the extend of what im proposing cost coverage for. im just hoping it wasnt all for nothin. seriously how was i supposed to know?? the official requirement thingie just stated "two doctor's letter's from different psychs" how was i supposed to know it was refering to a proccess that is completely seperated legally?? (info: here in germany medical and legal transition business is ruled by different laws. they are independent from each other. actually.)

my therapist also said "yeah, technically insurance isnt even allowed to ask for those since they are seperate processes" dang hell they arent! why is it even listed there then, completely without context???

oh welp. gettin there anyway! typing my proposal soon, next endo appointment (seperate from gettin t) end of august, hopefully-not-unnecessary-doctor's letter end of september, therapy indication by the end of the year, verification document from my surgeon and then sending the proposal with everything to my insurance, after the winter holidays most likely YAAH

*me yesterday realizing i can start practicing the beast song from over the garden wall now*

It was basically just gettin my doc up-to-date with everything life and hrt and doin that really drove home how much better things are now cx

He was also really kind and when i asked him about the letter for surgery he was like "call me whenever and i'll write it" and i 💞💞💞

He wasnt judgmental about me procrastinating on therapist search either and informed me that insurancy policies are gettin less strict these days so maybe if im lucky they'll accept less than a year :D (still depends on how long i'll be on the waiting list but it's better definitely!)

Also when i was like "yeah voice drop took its time but it finally started a lil last month" and he just "Your voice is definitely deeper than last time" hfgfgsfsfgh
