Title: Asking doctor for T
Post by: Frank on January 10, 2013, 09:43:35 PM
This seems a little dumb right now but I'm delivering someone to the doctor's soon, and I figure while I'm in there I can ask someone if a doctor will see a trans-person. I'm afraid of outing myself/getting rejected so I can either call (option never), go in and ask, or I can just ask if a doctor will prescribe T since I pass enough for that. Maybe? I dunno, too many options. I don't know what the people are like here. What do you think?

Ask if you would like. I asked a therapist who I didn't even know, if they see trans people. She said no, but gave me someone's phone number who does. You can only win I think.

Yeah if you keep asking, somebody will know who you should talk to. Most people in medical fields are geared to solve problems and that tends to come before judgement. When I was trying to figure out how to proceed I did encounter some discomfort but eventually got to the doctor I needed to see.
