Psychologist in OKC

[pickles]

Hello, I'm looking for Psychologists (counselors w/ a PhD) in OKC that work with trans, gender variant, etc people.

Anyone have any (positive, hopefully) experiences?

Hi Pickles, you are pretty close to me.

I see a counselor on the North side of OKC and she and her partner deal with mostly trans people. I am a member of a MtoF support group in OKC (The Twofold Group) and we meet once a week. Several of the girl's there see a psychologist there in OKC, PM me and I'll send you some more details. I'm also seeing an endocronologist who specializes in gender issues too.

There's help out there, even on the redneck plains of Oklahoma.

Yep! Redneck capital of the west. At one time, and it really hurts me to confess this as I am a Northern from the east (Yankee), I worked in Muskogee, OK and lived in Ft. Gibson not far from the Cherokee Nation. I never got use to the fact that most roads were still dirt (well dust), tornadoes were the norm and electric storms always wiped out the power sometimes daily. Dust was everywhere and the Missouri River flooded very year. Rodeos were the main attraction, and cowboy boots, straw cowboy hats, and tight jeans were the business attire.

I can't remember seeing anything but pickup trucks, gun racks on the rear window with rifles always resting on the rack, and chewing tobacco!

And to really take the cake, I actually went to see Merell Haggard sing "I'm an Okie from Muskogee." The place went crazy and were screaming and giving Merell standing ovations after ovations and the audience clapping never seemed to stop. And oh yea, ole Merell was stone drunk on stage.

OKC - well that place is as flat as a board and has red soil everywhere. The only thing it has going for it is the University of Oklahoma.

I will never confess this again as long as I live!

OK you Oklahoma residents go ahead and shoot arrows at me!

You show that you live in South Carolina. I sure would not call South Carolina part of the North - that is, Yankee territory. Maybe you lived in the North as I did eons ago (before 1985) and you like me got sick and tired of the cold weather.

Bless YOU! Yes, after year after year of freezing cold, ice, snow, North Easterners, and power outages for weeks on end and unable to drive the roads, I gave up that "paradise'! Not to mention that it gets so cold that even with a blanket on your engine and battery your car won't even try to turnover as well as one year when it was so far below zero that all the window on the bottom floor of my house cracked. Then you have dress up with so many clothes, couple pair of socks, glove liners and gloves, boots, ski mask underneath your winter hat, and you still can't get your breath because the air is so frigid cold! And your fingers and toes stay numb! Any forget about having an attractive mustache because the moment you step outside it freezes and has ice crystals all over it.

Yep! I sure do long for those days! Almost as bad as living in Oklahoma!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like all you needed was a nice light 40 MPH wind and it would have felt like Oklahoma.
Then in summer just switch the temperature to 90-100+ degrees and you have summer time.

[pickles]

Well you know what they say....

Oklahoma's so windy 'cause Kansas blows Texas sucks.

You say you had a mustache at one time? That's hard to believe. I also at one time had one for the longest time, and for a time had a full beard. I guess we had to come to our senses and shave the darn stuff off.

Ah yes - the Chicago area. I remember a car with a dead battery with the temperature about -25 deg F with a 40 mile an hour wind blowing from the north, with a wind chill factor of -70 F and having to walk to to an auto parts store to buy a new battery and then lug it back to install it in the car. Such fun!

Well I never claimed it was a thick mustache and yes you could actually count the hairs and the gaps between them but hey I wasn't gifted with much testosterone my entire life (thank goodness!). :D

My father was "Baby Face Nelson!" Not really but I have always lacked body hair. Somehow all my hair went to the top of my head and I am blessed not to have any receding hairline or bald spots.
