Finally got a letter from my therapist
Got a referral from my doc even tho I was super nervous
finally called the only doctors near me that take my cheap insurance
When I asked the person on the phone if the doctors trear trans patients
She put me on hold for maybe literally
3 seconds before saying "sorry we don't treat those"
..... But that's fine..my bulimia will take care of my body issues just fine

Oof

"Those"? Objectification: ugh.

Keep calling around, it is worth your time- even if it's a bit of a trek! You will find it.

Also good to note. Most doctors are willing to discount you if you come in as a cash patient. Works every time for me. Doctors hate dealing with insurance. Just ask for the cash patient discount

Grr...

Google maps. Review. Create. They can't take that down.

Those? As if we are objects? LOL!  Im sorry to hear about your troubles. I have no suggestions but only feel for you my love...

I know it can seem like a needle in haystack but keep searching around. It's possible your therapist or a local support group might know of someone who does treat transgendered patients in your area. I was almost faced with that impossible search for a primary care doctor due to my trans status when I first came out and told my previous PCP. Good luck and Hugs.
