egg😰😰😰irl
(lemmy.world)
You were supposed to tell me I'm wrong! FUCK.
I had that experience and its everything but fun.
Damn, that sucks. Sorry to hear that! D:
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
Hello friend.
Your post is breaking rule #1 of this community: All posts must be titled "egg_irl" or "egg[some emojis]irl". Please fix your title to prevent your post from being removed!
What a stupid rule🙄 Having to tell people how to have fun🙈
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.
Sry shouldn't be directed to you.

Rules on Post Titles and Tags:
-
Posts must be titled "egg_irl". An emoji or two is OK, but they have to be between "egg" and "irl".
-
Posts that assume the viewer's gender and/or contain potentially triggering content must be spoilered and tagged at the beginning of the post title. Example content-warning tags that you can copy include the following:

Rules on Comments
-
If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.
-
You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people's identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways.
Recommendations:
We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you're questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that's totally cool—just say so.
