I had my first private appointment with YourGP in Edinburgh and it really couldn’t have gone better. The building itself is nice as are receptionists. Dr Myskow was super nice and not gate keepery at all despite what I’d read (was a bit worried about that). Saying that I am out to everyone in my life minus my extended family, had legally changed my name and spoken to my GP about shared care. Though there were definitely things I hadn’t done like the aforementioned come out to most of my family, change my name legally at a lot of places, but she was fine about all of that which was great because after reading other experiences I was a bit scared of this. She asked fairly standard questions, how did I realise I was trans, describe the feelings, who had i told, how long had i presented the way i do etc. There were no awkward questions at all and it wasn’t difficult or anything like that. She told me that I’m a pretty standard case and that it would seem to her that I have gender dysphoria. She told me to make an appointment with her in 6 weeks, but she’s on annual leave and then i’m on holiday the next week so the next appointment is in 9 weeks exactly and she says if all is good with my blood tests i’ll be starting T then. Kind of gutted about my holiday interfering but so thankful to finally have a date to look forward to. For anybody else that sees this and considers doing to her, absolutely do it without a doubt.
