Susan's Place Transgender Resources

does that mean that you're pry passing pretty well? I had to go to the eye doctor for an infection. I filled out the paperwork with my legal male name, but there was a spot for a preferred name, so I put my female name. Anyway, the doctor comes in, pokes and prods a little bit. Asks some questions. Then he tells me about some medicines that could help me. But with one of the medicines he warned me that it can cause fertility issues and bone growth problems in women and he asked if I was trying to get pregnant. I was just like, "um, no." Anyway, I don't know how to take what happened. I feel like everyone stares at me and knows what I am. I've invented this story that the doctor knew and was saying that to make me feel better. I think the next time I go to see him I'm going to be like, "remember when you asked if I was trying to get pregnant . . . you do know I'm a genetic male, right?"

I mean he had to eventually submit a prescription to the pharmacy using my legal name, I think he would have realized it by that point. Don't you?

maybe he must have read the forms and gone "hmmm...  another child given a strange name by her parents."

well this could be taken as a sign that you pass  :)
