http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_2_100.gif Hi I am interested to here from any one that has had dealings with Charring Cross Hospital.
I have been referred to them by my psychiatrist and been told of a long waiting times but nothing more http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_1_200.gif
Well I have not been to them myself, but the plethora of horror stories I got from other TS people about the way they behave and the nighmarishly long and pointless torture *ahem* "procedure" they go through was enough to convince me that I would go private no matter the cost!
Ask yourself how much a year of life as the woman you want to be is worth. How much would you pay to have another year as who you want to be? If you can patiently struggle through a few humiliating years as you jump through the CHX hoops rather than spend a few thousand pounds then that is great, personally I value every moment I can get of my new life.
Kate.
My thanks to you KateQuote:

Although I went the private route. Many girls I know are going/went the Charring Cross route.
Whilst it has had a very bad press, It is my understanding things have improved vastly in recent times. With many girls being well pleased with the care and help they receive.
That is not to say things are perfect. No matter how good a place is there is always some room for improvement. The waiting period for appointments is long. Just go along there when you get your appointment in a positive frame of mind relax and enjoy moving forward on your chosen path.
My thanks patriciaQuote:

You are the first bit of positive news I have received
thanks again
love
I have heard the same sort of stories, but, having not even entered into that route as I decided from the outset to go private I wouldn't have a clue if there is any truth in them. Hows that for sitting on the fence:thumbsup: .Quote:
