Well, i finally "passed" ALMOST beyond a doubt. Part of me is jumping for joy, the other part laughing hysterically.

I had a gyno visit today (ick) and was ready and waiting (ick) when the doctor came in - first time i saw her, we never met before. She abruptly stopped, gave me a  surprised look (almost like a "why is a guy (or why are you) here" look), glanced at my file, looked at me again, then stepped in with a strange look on her face.

When i told her i was transsexual a few minutes later she was like "Oh, well, that's cool - also explains why i had to think about it when i came in and saw you sitting there!" And we laughed over it. I honestly don't think she was 100% sure what i was until i told her.... Having a slight cold with a raspy voice helped i guess.



What a place (and time) to (sort of) pass.

haha!
Thats so awesome you passed at a gyno's, congrats XD

Hey...

That really says something if you passed while sitting in a gynecologist's office...

Congratulations

That is just as funny as going to get your blood drawn for a PSA test. 

Good for you.  Score one for the guys.

My top surgeon required a mammogram, so I showed up at this little radiology unit five or six weeks after I had started T. I kept telling myself that on this one day I shouldn't bind, but I couldn't make myself leave the house that way. So I bound.

I walked up to the intake station, told the receptionist that I had an appointment for such and such time, and was about to give my name. Before I could say who I was, she greeted me cheerily with "You must be Roger!"

I thought it was extra funny that the name doubles as a term for intercourse.

Congratulations and may your future be filled with other such occurences.

Congrats dude.
Maybe its just me, but the thought of me being on t and being the only guy in the gynos waiting room amuses me XD

Just wait 'til you're a year (or more) on T and headed to the gyno's office... tomorrow should be interesting 

Glad your doctor was cool about it.

I had been on T for 5 months when I went in for an ekg prior to top surgery.  Same deal.  Got called sir up until she really looked at my chart which still had my F name on it for insurance purposes as I'd had my mammogram at the same faciility a bit earlier.  She then apologized but I said none needed.

Yeah, that WILL be interesting....     I think more so to see the reactions of people in the waiting room and the receptionist, since the doctor herself will know. I just love confusing people....

So far everyone i've told has been very "cool" about it. It's boosting up my confidence to tell my parents.

Yeah, i'm going to look back on it later and still laugh, like: "the first place i ever really gave someone pause for though was the gyno!".

Oh man. I actually laughed aloud when I read this. What an ironic place to pass.

Nice, dude. And yes, having a cold will DEFINITELY help.

This story still cracks me up, days later.
