I decided that driving all the way into the Cities for every little doctor's visit was ridiculous, so I bit the bullet and decided to schedule my annual physical with a local doctor and come out to her while I was at it.  I don't really pass yet, so I figured it was a good chance to give her a heads up before walking in next year with a beard and a male name and saying, "Hi, I'm here for my annual PAP.    I'm happy to say that she took it totally in stride, and was even somewhatly versed in Trans issues.  She was curious about how it was transitioning in a fairly small town in rural Wisconsin, and asked if I wanted something for the T-related acne.  All in all it went well.

So, I'm glad that's over for another year.  And it's good to know that there is at least one doctor in town that I can go to for everyday medical needs who won't be completely weirded out.

Great news Jamie'
I would make her your regular GP.

On another issue, I'm very close to my male GP. I keep wanting him to say, assume the position, nurse come in, we need to do a PAP.

I know i'd just pee myself. Oh Dear!!

Friendly doc in rural wisconsin? I would love to know who and what clinic as I live in wisconsin and Mfld clinic is NOT trans friendly.

It's good to have a supportive GP. I came out to my GP a few weeks ago and she seems very supportive (so far). I thought it might weird her out, but evidently she's had transmen patients before.

Jamie, I'mhappy that is behind you and you feel comfortable with your new Dr. I had a similiar experience with my Dr. and his nurse practioner when I lived in the states. I would always dig out my one set of totally male clothes to go to the appointment. Then one  day I forgot I had an appointment and got a call that morning. There was no time to change so I went in wearing a denim skirt and a tank top. the nurse practioner asked me what was up and we had a conversation about gender disorders and what she knew about it. She asked me a bunch of questions which I answered honestly. She ordered blood tests and a hormone workup. She was very supportive. My next visit my Dr. a man examined  me. As I sat there in my bra and panties he didn't say a word about my appearence.  It was such a relief to have it out in the open. Now I have to go through the whole thing all over again in the VI.
