    Aren’t they supposed to do that though? I had a similar experience recently and was surprised by how supportive my therapist is.

      Hmmm… maybe? I don’t know that they are supposed to give specific personal advice; rather, they are supposed to be supportive of helping patients work through issues to discover their path for themselves.

      I am definitely not a doctor and do not consider myself bound by any sort of professional ethical code. So I could be wrong.

        I mean, if they can tell what’s going on with you and there is a clear solution known to be effective, aren’t they pretty much required to recommend it?

        I think there’s a difference between telling a therapist “I’m trans” vs “I think I’m trans”

        A good therapist imo would lay on the questioning if you used “I think” because at that point it’s too early to encourage hormones or anything beyond that. A good therapist would recommend simple things to try out different forms of gender expression.

        “Are you sure?” is the most I’d expect from a therapist if you said you are trans tbh

        I didn’t make the rule. it has existed since the original egg_irl back on reddit. Your post was reported by other members of this community for having broken the first rule of this community.

        I am but a servant to the masses, and the masses demand this rule stay in place, as is and has always been the tradition of egg_irl.
