Reply To: ever doubted you were transgender?

[DeeAnn Hopings]

Sad to say it isn’t a perfect world. It has happened before that people in counseling positions bring their own opinions and prejudices into what they are doing. It isn’t supposed to be like that, but shit happens. Also, being a department head doesn’t necessarily mean that people have great sensitivity for your patients. Often it speaks more about how they have negotiated the minefields of academia. Searching around here will likely yield other threads where people have had suboptimal experiences. It happens, but then the next question is what do you do to deal with that?
