I was given my first prescription of hormones and have lived a happy and fulfilled life as the man I was always meant to be. Now, at 61, I am writing my memoirs, 'Misfit' and give due credit to Dr Reed within it's pages. He was ahead of his time, compassionate and a changer of many lives.Lee Penmanhttps://open.substack.com/pub/leepenman/p/gender-dysphoria?r=2tl0x0&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=webnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712640935255311366.post-1849710907266173182023-01-09T15:33:38.505-05:002023-01-09T15:33:38.505-05:00Russell treated me back in the nineties.

He recognised me as a man before anyone else did, and gave me access to treatment that would not depend on running the "living in role" gauntlet. If you ever see this, Dr. Reid, thank you from a sixty one year old regular guy, I owe you so much.

Before that life was pretty much hell, since then I have settled, led a very productive working life, achieved recognition in the field of social welfare and am married to a wonderful man. My life has been utterly turned around and now in my sixties I am very comfortable indeed with who and what I am. The treatment I received from Dr Reid and his colleagues was a life saver for me.

They were the most human and supportive individuals i had met, and have since met. They based their care on human intuition as well as text books and theory..I owe them my life due to their early intervention. Post surgery I have led an exceptional life by any standards. This would have been denied me without these two. Thank you to both.

WPATH seems to be more or less set up based largely upon social and professional lifstyle in the USA which is not even slightly the world of all humanity. Dr. Reid used his professional expertise very professionally. Because of his approach, many of us stayed alive, frankly!<br />Doctors make regular mistakes in less headline-grabbing fields and rarely get the awful treatment that took Dr. Reid away from many who needed him. <br />WPATH has become law by default and it is a route to social destruction for some people and an expensive way of making poor progress for the patient and good profit for the USA's medical profession in so many cases.<br />I consulted Russell Reid first at the time when he was facing this investigation and he was very up-front about it and asked if I really wanted to continue with him under those circumstances -- he was the best, so of course I stayed with him and I am very glad I did so. I had previous experience of a much less professional approach elsewhere and consulted Dr. Reid after that earlier experience of "automated compliance with WPATH" which gave me the medication but without much in the way of helpful diagnosis. Compared to that other option (yes, also in the UK) Dr. Reid was absolutely professional and very helpful.<br />Now we are left with some medical experts in this field who still are so helpful but who have the shadow of this persecution over their guidance. I am lucky that my own GP pointed me in the direction of another good man to "keep an eye" on my gender health.Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02299808224893344527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712640935255311366.post-51290558229057213672010-05-23T18:41:36.345-04:002010-05-23T18:41:36.345-04:00if you are a consenting adult, not a ward of the s...if you are a consenting adult, not a ward of the state like some people described in this article should be, and went through all the time, trouble, expense, and effort to get SRS, then discover it wasn't the right decision. <br /><br />your unfortunate situation should not influence my having unfettered access to these services, which is my right, or cause me to incur unnecessary expense in order to gain access to them, which is a racket.<br /><br />if you are one of theses people, a supporter of one of theses people, or a WPATH devote...<br />thats just tough luck for you, live with it, and STFU. <br /><br />"Strength and Happiness"<br />"La fuerza y la felicidad"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
