read this statement from the OP

QuoteSo he sits me down and explains to me his concern about my breasts. And also goes on to explain some males can have a definciency in testosterone, he asks if i was born with enlarged breasts and goes on to explain there's possible chance i could have been born with XXY chromosomes instead of XY.

This is clearly a doctor who was confused.  People who are XY are genetically male, and people who are XXY are generally male-appearing and intersexed.  The doc thought OP was genetically male, not female, hence the request for a scrotum exam and the breasts being a 'problem.'

exactly, so if i were MTF, why would the breasts be a 'problem'? I don't think he understood at all what transexual meant.

That's what I'm saying.  Ignorant doctor.
