Given their high degree of education, you would think that doctors, and healthcare givers in general, would be quite forward thinking and accepting of the transgendered. I have not always found that to be the case. In the years of my transition and since I have had two less than ideal experiences with healthcare givers. One I would simply call curiously educational. The second one I found genuinely troubling.
