this is so weird. somehow I actually recently have gotten in the “loop” for treatment at my local trans gender place, and am scheduled to meet with the same psychiatrist who I saw twice before who spicifically told me I'll never qualify for surgery if I don't comply with SOC7. My appointment is September 1 so the difference may be a matter of days! I do believe I'll be walking some kind of tightrope then since i felt that this psychiatrist sincerely believed i will never qualify no matter what since i did not want to become fully a woman. that is most likely because i find it difficult to express my similarities but differences in where my transgender needs exist to a person who is not all that open minded. I managed getting the orchi already anyway. now hopefully I can get the work finished in a way that is appropriate to me and compliant with SOC 8 too.
Well assuming SOC 8 is out by then, it certainly sounds like it would be helpful to have a copy in your hand with all the relevant bits marked, so that you can effectively point out that SOC 7 isn't relevant, and how you should be able to get what you want per each chapter and verse in SOC 8... Between the eunuch and non-binary chapters especially you should be well covered, with additional backing from the rest of the document.
I've looked through the Draft SOC 8, and it seemed there were applicable sections in almost every chapter.
Even if it isn't out I'd still be sure to have a copy of the draft....
