Hi Kerensa,
As you are aware, I have had my concerns about your motivation and ability to cope with the reality, of having boobs. I have never had any doubts about what I have been doing; as opposed to concerns about the consequences of coming out.
You say nothing about your "shrink nurse". Is she qualified to give psychiatric advice? Even if she is, does she have specialist knowledge of gender dysphoria. People who do are few and far between; in North Wales there is only one psychiatrist and it takes between 12 & 18 months to get an appointement.
I feel you should try and make contact with a local support group, asap. In doing so try and find a TS group, rather than a TV group, like the Beaumont Society, who can be quite dodgy, in their advice on TS matters.
If you have problems, you could try contacting Jenny- Anne, who with her partner Ellen, run the local group; uniquets. She does a huge amount of work, helping trans people & educating the public and professionals, on trans matters. I am sure she will be only too willing to point you in the right direction. I wish you all the best, in undrstanding what you are looking for.
