I too struggled most of my life with many of the issues that Kayden struggled, trans, asperger, anxiety, etc...I learned early that "the mental health community" would be of no help to me, only hinder me further. I am now 46 years old, and have been transitioned for many years. Funny thing is, once I started T, almost all of my "mental health" issues (not so) mysteriously went away. I believe this is what the mental health professionals are missing, although I don't see them catching onto that anytime in the future. A word for those who are looking to transition, it's best to look, sound and appear as normal as you possibly can in order to get someone to write you a letter for T. I know it's hard dealing with these issues on your own, and some of us are stronger than others, but try to reach out to available friends and family before seeking "professional" help. Once it is on your record, you will have a heck of a time moving forward. Once you get on T, it is my belief that many of your problems will rectify themselves. Mine certainly did. Just one mans opinion. Sadly, even though the world has opened up more to trans people, we are still recognized as having "mental diseases", and that remains a lot of the problem. My heart goes out to Kayden and his family...a true tragedy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1808456300359249763.post-52287920958415090652016-02-08T01:35:28.759+00:002016-02-08T01:35:28.759+00:00This story breaks my heart.
