Can a TGRC tell you if your current GP is trans friendly?

[Maddy_Aya_W.]

I know that they can point you toward a trans friendly doctor, but I was wondering if they have the Intel to tell you wether or not your current GP is trans friendly. I'd like to avoid coming out to a trans unfriendly GP, if possible. Has anyone ever tried asking their local/state TGRC if they can tell you if your GP is trans friendly? Were they able to? Is it kind of a shot in the dark wether they can or not, like I'm thinking it is? I want to begin HRT ASAP, and as painlessly as possible, but I'm not sure my GP will respond positively to that or not. He's a master of psychopharmacology, if that information can help anyone give me an idea as to how he'll react. IDK, I'm just wondering.

Hugs,

What does TGRC stand for?

TransGender Resource Center.

I kinda went at it back-asswards I think lol... I contacted the transgender resource center in my city and they have a list of providers of all kinds of services and are considered trans-friendly.
I didn't think of testing my current GP--I know he's not on the list but that doesn't mean he wouldn't hypothetically be trans-friendly. I'd rather stick with ones I know going in, are going to be trans-friendly.... my gyno for example was on the list so i chose her. The GP on the list--I think there were 2--both were not taking new patients, so my current GP is not aware of my trans status.

Yeah, I guess the best way to go about it is just call, and see if my GP on is the list. If not, I'm thinking I may just have to test the waters, and see how he reacts. I currently have a psychologist, and a psychiatrist, with corresponding diagnoses. So, I have some medical professionals to back what I say. I'll just.have to hope for the best, and prepare for the worst. Thank you for responding, the information you've given me has been useful.
