Quote: August 2011 - Such excellent NEWS - The VA system recently received a directive that transgendered veterans receive appropriate treatment (including hormone replacement and even surgery). November 1st 2009 New regulations by the Medical Council of Thailand. The council moved recently to strictly control sexchange operations and require that transgender people consult a gender specialist, psychologist or psychiatrist, live as female for a year and receive hormone therapy before such an operation is permitted. The new regulations require that surgeons or physicians undertaking the sexchange be registered with the Medical Council. They must also treat any complications that occur following surgery. Surgeons who violate the new regulations face warnings or the threat of having their medical licence revoked. Research News: October 2008. Australian researchers have identified a significant link between a gene involved in testosterone action and male-to-female transsexualism - .Terry Reed from the Gender Identity Research and Education Society said she was convinced of a biological basis to transsexualism. "This study appears to reinforce earlier studies which have indicated that, in some trans people, there may be a genetic trigger to the development of an atypical gender identity'(see research link below). "However, it may be just one of several routes and, although it seems extremely likely that a biological element will always be present in the aetiology of transsexualism, it's unlikely that developmental pathways will be the same in all individuals'. -Quote of the week: June 17, 2008 NCTE Applauds the AMA Call for "Removal of Financial Barriers to Care for Transgender Patients" - The American Medical Association (AMA) passed a resolution recently calling for "public and private health insurance coverage for treatment of gender identity disorder as recommended by the patient's physician." The declaration, known as Resolution 122, "Removing Financial Barriers to Care for Transgender Patients," was passed by the House of Delegates - AMA's primary decision-making body - at its annual conference in Chicago. - Resolution 122 affirms the effectiveness of medical treatment for transsexuals and the right to appropriate treatment. It also names as discriminatory the categorical denial of health insurance coverage for psychotherapy, hormonal and surgical treatments for transgender patients, and reiterates the AMA's opposition to discrimination based on gender identity. The full text of the resolution is below. - An expert said the findings reported in BJU International reflected patients' determination to undergo the op. - "America's physicians are saying that transgender people, like all others, deserve competent medical care based on what individual doctors and their patients determine is healthiest for each person," noted Mara Keisling, Executive Director of the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE). "Doctors and patients, not insurance companies, should be making those choices. We are so glad that the AMA has taken a leadership role against the rampant discrimination that transgender people have faced for so many years in receiving appropriate medical care and equitable insurance coverage," - Health insurance coverage has been made into prominent national issue recently thanks in part to a three year campaign by the AMA. NCTE has prioritized ending health insurance discrimination against transgender people.

To 'correct' a birth gender difference many transsexuals following years of torment and suffering undergo personal and mayor life-changes through a planned process of 'transitioning'. This change requires acceptance, understanding, knowledge, information, support and guidance all of which are combined and essential elements that can enable and individual with a gender variance, to fully achieve their 'true self' and then be able to live the rest of their lives in psychological harmony and spiritual balance. This process can be achieved not only by way of a hormones SRS and related surgeries, but in tandem, with full acceptance and realization, accompanied by the enablement of their inner self and unending desire, all of which is normally acheived by simply fusing both their mind and body as one. This essential journey for some transsexuals enables the individual to live a normal non-dysphoric, happier and more contented life, for the majority both during and after transitioning, rather than them remaining in a state of unhappiness, anxiety, depression, confusion and social isolation.

To assist you in achieving the above my mission as a fully qualified and experienced gender specialist and member of both the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) (formerly known as the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association (HBIGDA)) and the American Counseling Association (ACA) is to endeavor and provide, though counseling sessions, appropriate information and guidance in a non judgmental manner, together with ongoing support for all transgender clients. As I am at most times the first gender care professional contacted, no matter what I am referred to, my overall intention is to become a trusted advocate and a source of information strength and support

As a counselor and fully qualified mental health professional specializing in Male to Female and Female to Male gender change, dysphoria and cross dressing activity and other related issues. I offer individualized online counseling and assessment leading, if appropriate, to letters of recommendation for both hormones and surgery. I further provide advice, support and time-limited counseling for cross-gender expression and other forms of personal expression.


ONLINE COUNSELING

Online counseling for gender related issues uses written language (chat) as a vehicle of bringing about not only change but an understanding of what an individual is experiencing and feels from their early years onward and the direction they would like to take after gaining knowledge of their gender difference. With online counseling, whether written or spoken it is the core component of communication. Whilst some may believe that communication is best achieved through face to face interaction and verbal exchanges, there is in fact little evidence, if any, to back this; In fact, the anonymity, and lack of inbred subjectivity that is identifiably apparent through online therapy, at most times, assists the individual to open up more easily and feel more free to express themselves. More than they may normally do so in a conventional face to face situation. Therefore, in respect of gender counseling and assessment this has had positive results in enabling the client of letting go that 'secret' and embracing, coming to terms, with what lies within. A major part of there self which has been held back and suppressed over many years.

Online gender counseling is in many aspects more secure, confidential, and private than traditional face-to-face therapy/counseling. Mainly due to its unique qualities, the counseling takes place in an anonymous or pseudonym context. This provides a level of security and confidentiality that cannot be matched in the real world of the office. It also removes the threat of the over subjective; thought of some counselors, due to the early and appearance and presentation of the individual which may stand in the way of objectivity.
Online therapy therefore offers a valuable and new model which reaches the larger and isolated group of people concerned over their gender related feelings, plus issues of confidentiality, acceptance and privacy. It also reaches those living in isolated areas, places where there are no available counselors in the locality and individuals who are house bound disabled plus those who may not normally seek a professional gender health service.

On contact I offer a short initial discussion, this can be used to ask questions and gain information about my service.  Schedule appointments and discuss the professional service fee.  If you feel that you could benefit from the service I have to offer, simply follow the instruction to commence your online relationship If you would like to contact me directly - please use one of the 'Chat boxes above, leave a message or simply r e-mail me at etherapy@gmail.com.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
