Has anyone gotten the ' you must be on the FBI most wanted list' look

[stephaniec]

I had an encounter tonight with a new pharmacist. She didn't say or do anything wrong , but the way she was looking at me I was thinking the cops might show up. I had given her my new estrogen script and I was like whoa. All the people at that pharmacy have been really nice to me even asking what pronouns I prefer. Tonight was a little different like whoa. Anyone encounter weird vibes when filling your E script.

Only the first time.  They didn't want to give it to me because they thought it was a mistake.  Finally, I had to speak personally to the pharmacist.  He kept asking, "Do you understand what this will do?"  I just told him yes, I'm transsexual and undergoing gender transition.  Even then he insisted that I must know what it was going to do.  LOL

Since then I haven't had any problems or strange looks.  This was all at Walmart.

All the time he's standing there thinking you don't have a clue, when its really him showing his ignorance. The irony.

He was very nice about it all though.  I was nervous as hell although I think I hid it pretty well.

The first time i had weird look comming from the pharmacist and assistant then when she brought me my meds she sermonized me on it and asked me if i knew what i was doing.. OMG i went throught i dunno how many therapy and a specialized endocrinologist PRESCRIBED it to me.. who are you loll?... Do you really think i will step back at this point just give me my meds lol!.

I got the patronizing talk at Walmart the first time I filled my E prescription. I was expecting it and was mostly amused by it. I think I scandalized the whole pharmacy department - i'm pretty sure I was juicy gossip around the water cooler for awhile

Since then they have grown to be rather nice to me.

I do remember my first script being filled.

The pharmacist warned me that I would develop breasts and lose 'male' function. I just said, Oh god I hope so.

Nowadays he flirts with me and shows me pics of his kids.

I wonder what my first time will be like..
I haven't started yet, only because I'm 15, but I plan to attend the age of 20-21 lol I still have years to go but I'm gaining confidence. It's like I can't wait, but you have to be patient. Lol. If I got them down here, the people would probably act like I was a bad thing or something since most people in this state are still knocked back like a century or two. Lol.

Lovely.

If an oldish lady can give some advice to a young girl. Work hard on your education so you can get a good job, money and the ability to travel.

You will have a wonderful life and so much fun!

Nice to meet you Faith

Once in my first few months of taking HRT I was still getting them filled while I presented in guy mode. This was at a chemist on Oxford St in Sydney (epicentre of much LGBT culture) so I would have thought they'd seen everything. This guy hand over my progesterone tablets with this totally perplexed look on his face... "uh, any problems with this medication?" he asked. "It's going great" I said with a smile and departed with him none the wiser.

[KyleeKrow]

The first time I got it filled everybody in the pharmacy looked at me like I was the boogyman. They kept asking me if I knew what the meds were for, too. I should very well hope that I know what meds I'm picking up!

[AnonyMs]

I've can't say I've had HRT from pharmacists, but I have had a bunch of other medications. I get seriously annoyed when they interrogate me about it, and I'm always sure to let them know it. I don't get this crap when I go shopping for anything else.

I've also found a pharmacist that doesn't ever comment on anything so I spend my money there these days.

My wife and I were talking yesterday about where to get my prescriptions filled to start with.  I asked her if she would rather I use the Big Name Pharmacy in town and she asked "Why?"  We use a small town pharmacy that's been here at least 60 years and when we walk in the door, the girls at the front counter reach back to the rack and get our prescriptions.  Everyone there knows us by name so the first time I take in a scrip for E, it's going to get around pretty fast!

If you are in the US and they are chatting about your medical issues to others, they are breaking the law.

I go to a drive-through pharmacy (because in the US, we have drive-through everything.)
The only "strange" encounter I had was a message on the phone about an hour after I dropped off an updated prescription. It went something like this:

"This call is for Mr. [my full birth name], this is [some lady's name] at [name of pharmacy]. I'm sorry but we're out of the... [ x ] milligram Estrogen? you were prescribed? We'll have it instock this Wednesday, we should have it ready for pick up around 3."

It made me smile just to hear the wave of confusion set in while she was speaking. I don't think she was against the idea of Mr. [my full birth name] taking estrogen, she just wasn't expecting it.

Normally my prescription just auto-refill, I get a text saying the next refill is ready, I stop through after work and there's almost zero interaction.

Estrogen is sometimes prescribed as a treatment for prostate cancer, so a pharmacist may consider that as a possible reason for you taking it, if you always show up in guy mode.

First time I filled my prescription, the pharmacist lectured that it will prohibit me from bleeding and from getting pregnant. I had a bit of a long hair then and dressed up andro.

I want to burst out laughing until she saw my old name on her computer that she silently handed my meds over lol

sigh..such is our life 

[Faith Rena]

That is hilarious... lol I bet you laughed so hard when you got out of the pharmacy.

It's not that.  It's just it's a very small local pharmacy.
