After going to my therapist like normal friday morning, I had an appointment with my gp to hopefully get a referal to this endro that lives like 5 mins. from me.  She is currently treating another mtf  , so I figured she has experience and it's way better than what i'm doing now.

So after hearing how some gp's react to gid I was so incrediby nervous to discuss this with him.  First of all I have only seen him twice and those times weren't that great, not that he's a bad doctor, I just wasn't really feeling him.

After 1 1/2 hours of waiting in extreme nervousness, thinking I was going to die in anticipation I was finally seen.  To my absolute surprise he didn't react negatively at all, infact he was really passive about it like it was nothing out of the norm.  I could as well have said I have a cold.  He agreed to write the referal and took the name of the endo I want to see.  At the end he did something even more amazing... he put his hand on my shoulder in a comforting was as to say "Don't worry everything will be fine."  Needless to say I was blown away.  I left his office on such a high.  I wish everybody going though this had someone like I do.

Heres to a smooth transition.  1 step down, a whole lot to go!

I know what you mean! I get treated at the veterans affairs and with the few exceptions of desk clearks, everyone is so nice to me. My doctors (i currently see four) are all extreamly professional and warm hearted. I don't think I could ask for a better place to be treated.

My doc is totally cool too.  I'll miss her when I go to DC.  As for my OTHER family doctor, they treat me like the plague.  Even one of the female docs said that she didn't want to see me anymore because she felt "uncomfortable."
