Seemingly
the
only
doctor
willing
to
learn
about
and
assist
with
trans
issues
is
out
of
town
right
now,
so
who
knows
when
I
will
get
my
prescription.
The
wrong
medication
was
written
down
(gel
instead
of
cream)
during
my
visit
with
Dr
Cotter
(who
was
great
otherwise,
but
leaving
town
the
next
day).
I
messaged
them
over
the
weekend
about
starting
the
correct
medication.
Yesterday
afternoon
they
responded
asking
why
I
want
cream,
and
said
they
would
have
to
research
it.
Not
an
ideal
start
(like
you
wouldn't
ask
*why*
someone
wants
an
IUD
instead
of
an
implant,
or
liquid
medication
over
pill
format)
but
I
quickly
wrote
them
back
and
explained
the
difference.
They
hadn't
replied
yet
by
this
afternoon.
I
figured
they
must
be
pretty
busy,
so
went
ahead
and
did
the
legwork
for
them.
I
sent
them
a
bunch
of
very
official,
high
quality
information
about
the
medication
I
need.
I
even
found
out
the
dosage
I
need
(which
every
source
I
could
find
agrees
on)
and
included
it
in
my
message.
They
wrote
me
back
almost
immediately,
letting
me
know
that
they
aren't
covering
for
my
out
of
town
pcp
for
the
rest
of
the
week
and
saying
they
"don't
know
anything"
about
the
medication
I
need
and
"have
no
experience
starting
testosterone
for
gender
dysphoria".
Like,
read
through
the
.gov
guideline
websites
I
sent
and
then
you
*will*
know
something
about
it.
Help
me
with
this
prescription
then
you
*will*
have
experience
with
it.
Can
you
imagine
how
absurd
that
would
sound
if
you
said
that
about
literally
anything
else?
"Sorry,
you
broke
your
leg,
but
I
don't
have
any
experience
with
prescribing
the
pain
medication
you
requested
so
I'm
going
to
leave
your
message
for
some
other
doctor
to
pick
up
if
they
can."
If
you
didn't
want
to
help
me
with
this,
you
should
have
handed
me
off
to
a
different
doctor
from
the
start,
especially
since
this
has
been
a
one-reply-per-day
conversation.
I'd
like
to
fill
out
the
"have
you
ever
experienced
medical
discrimination
because
of
your
gender"
part
of
the
appointment
form
again,
cuz
my
answer
has
changed.
