I am a trans man and I don’t have a male therapist but I have a male primary doctor and it’s tough to bring up certain issues I’m having regarding my transition. I’d really like to just blurt out how tough things are sometimes. But I don’t want him to get offended or weirded out. I have to remind myself doctors have heard everything.
I did have a male doctor doing an internal exam in an immediate care. It didn’t bother me because I was in a **** ton of pain and didn’t care. Then I had a male doctor do a procedure down there the next night in the ER and I was fine.
I guess if it’s an emergency I’m ok dealing with whoever but if I just have to talk about something it’s difficult. But I’ve talked to my Pdoc about period issues and he’s been cool because doctors really have heard it all. I guess if I ever were to get a male T I’d prefer an older one instead of someone my age.
