@f42fdd5b Thanks. The fact that my daughter has schizophrenia makes matters complicated. Is her gender dysphoria related to her ongoing delusions? If yes or unknown, is my daughter even eligible for gender-affirming care? If not, will she freak out if told she is ineligible. What kind of mood will my daughter bring into the appointment? Will the physician read my note about her mental illness before the appointment and be tactful in her interactions with my daughter? Will the physician remain calm if my daughter happens to be in a bad mood? Is there another physician who would be a good match for my daughter in the future?

Oh, I don't know what to say. That's so complex. So many moving parts.

I will be here for you if you need to talk. I'm a pretty good listener and will have time for you.

Please remember that you can't help her much if you haven't helped yourself first.
