I saw my new doctor today. He’s considered an endocrinologist but I am seeing him for trans confirming reasons. I didn’t really know what to expect. But he was great. He came in and introduced himself. He said what pronouns he used and asked what I used. But man am I glad my mom wasn’t with me. It was a very personal one on one session that was unlike any other appointment I’ve had before. We talked a lot about my history, when I started identifying. We talked about the injections I take. The surgeries I’ve had. The future surgeries I may want. He asked about my sexuality and some other similar questions. We got into some strange stuff that I haven’t discussed before like using the appropriate size sex toys since because of my hysterectomy things are different now and using too big or too small could cause problems. Basically he was just really personable and I liked him and he was super easy to talk to. Back at my last state my primary was the one prescribing my shots to me and we never discussed any of this stuff. I see him in 3 months and he wants to do blood work but he doesn’t want it done right away. He asked if I had any concerns and I told him I was bit worried my chest still looked a bit screwy. He said he can’t really look at it since that’s not what he does. But there’s a plastic surgeon he can refer me to who they work with. I just told him I didn’t know if I was just being paranoid or not. I asked him if insurance would pay for it for the 3rd time and he was like “I dunno” I didn’t ask for the referral this time since I’m still trying to deal with the hysterectomy but when I see him in February I’ll ask him then. My mom was all like “it will be good to get a second opinion.” She just doesn’t like it when I get concerned by things and if I can get reassurance or maybe just get some suggestions or even a bit inexpensive tweaking done I’d be good.

Oh and now my mom is sick. Because of my 5 year old nephew who got dropped off for the afternoon on Friday who then got my 8 year old nephew sick. So now it’s going to be my turn next since I get sick easily. I wonder if it’s socially acceptable to go to therapy on Wednesday. I guess I’ll just wait and see how I feel.
