See, in 1983, there was no way someone like me would have been able to get treatment without telling a lot of lies:
"Why, yes, Doctor, I'm solely attracted to men..."
"Why, yes, Doctor, of course I want surgery..."

"Why, no, Doctor, I would never be open about my history. I plan to move across the country, just as you recommend..."
