This is really a huge thing . .
After reading over 100 people's experiences with gender counselors on this site and others, I completely agree. Never once have I read that " I went to a counselor specializing in gender and decided to dress less, etc. "

I suppose part of reason is apa no longer considers it something that needs to be changed or whatever. Not sure how it would go with someone who doesn't specialize in gender issues. Maybe same. Maybe different
