Talked to my psych nurse about gender, got slightly annoy...

General
So I'm just gonna start out by saying I have a good chemistry with my psych nurse for the most part. She is pretty lovely and easy to talk to about most things...there are somethings I do avoid though. For example it's in my file that I have the AB/DL kink as I mentioned it to my first psych nurse and that was a huge mistake. I'm not gonna go into everything that happened but it was frustrating to say the least. But this last Wednesday I was talking to my current psych nurse about the fact that I am unsure about my gender and such and he immediate response was "Yeah you've mentioned this before about you having difficulty with other people and being unsure about your sexuality" and I just wanted to scream. I don't know why it is so hard for a lot of mental health professionals to understand that sexuality and gender isn't necessarily connected. I just ended up telling her "I am pretty sure in my sexuality and it has nothing to do with my views on my gender" and not a lot more was said because our time was up for that meeting, but she did say that she wanted to discuss it at our next meeting. I dunno if I might just have screwed up badly by bringing this up because it's very obvious that they will just keep trying to tie it back to my sexuality. Oh well we shall see what will happen.

I'm so sorry... I've dealt with that before, and it's always so frustrating

OP
I just wish that they would listen a bit better sometimes. Now I am by no means sure of my gender identity but I feel that it would probably be easier for her to try and help if she let me describe how I feel before just going "oh well it has to do with your sexuality of course"
