From what I understand from my group members in rural western Maryland, your experience was pretty mild from what they had trying to find a T friendly endo. Except for one, all the other others were a flat out NO

I was practically petrified when I asked my GP for E.  So far, almost everyone in the medical community I have encountered has been extremely professional or go out of their way to quietly make me feel more comfortable.  My Dr's nurse said something like, "I Know my patients.  I see you B," smiled and gave me a little knowing wink.  It doesn't make it completely comfortable telling someone new, or explaining WHY I take E, Sprio and Fin, but overall most people are completely professional in my experience. Most people are kind (and I live in the heart of the mid-west). 

I know I take things to heart that sometimes I shouldn't.  I also know I miss people being catty to me when I should notice and call them out.  With luck your medical team will be supportive, if not find someone else!  I also cant tell you how much of a help my therapist has been in this journey so far!
