So, I have an appointment with the endo in a couple weeks and have a couple of things to discuss with her (trans guy locally recommended her).
First and foremost is - of course - going on T. That should be pretty straightforward, but how do I address the idea of being intersexed so that it's not misunderstood? Do I simply mention Turner Syndrome or ???
I also want to talk to her about energy levels since I have a muscle condition that eats crazy amounts of energy, but since it's muscle and not endocrinal, I don't know if she can help me with that... Any ideas guys? (and ladies, feel free to chime in!)
Honestly if it were me i would just be straight up about it,
then there is definitely not going to be any confusion/misunderstandings about it
Bringing up your medical history and concerns would be a very good idea. Even if they can't do something about it, they may be able to avoid making things worse inadvertently. Though, they could very well know a solution or someone else who does.
I think it is really, really important that you bring all of your medication information/paperwork with you. Hormones are a big deal to your body, please be safe by laying it all out there.

Usually I am, but sometimes I get unsure about lingo I'm not as familiar with. So, a little reminder is always helpful.

Oh cripes, thanks for the reminder! My medical history and medication list is crazy atm. That kind of stuff could cause issues.
