oh also he didn’t say anything about my appt with the CAMH gender identity clinic.
I was worried bc I told that doctor about my addiction but my psych doesn’t know and already thinks I’m a drug seeker, so I thought he might say something after reading the notes but nothing.

Ugh I hope that's not it. I have gotten very good care at St Joe's (brought me back from the dead), St Mike's, CAMH. But I did wonder whether being designated neuro versus psych gives you more agency.

It was really terrible. CAMH would tell people on the initial appointment (which they waited years for) they weren't trans enough to "filter" us
A bunch of us attempted / completed suicide after their first visit and we will likely never get the numbers on that even though names could be compared

And add to that, most provinces only paid for X trans people to go to CAMH per year, so it would quadruple CAMH's already incredibly long waits.
Better now, but it took forever to recover from this (and arguably many parts of Canada haven't to this date)

CAMH actively targeted any doctor or clinics offering trans care. They'd send letters to docs threatening to take doctor's licenses and insurance coverage.
There was never anything comparable in the US. They had immense consolidated power - and eagerly abused it.

For added context, in the darker past, CAMH (Zucker, Blanchard, etc) had a stranglehold on trans care for everything east of Alberta.
So you'd have to travel from Newfoundland to Toronto
to get a HRT and then SRS assessment, multi year waitlists, etc
