Understand One's Own Medical

Have been running into lack of knowledge in my medical doctors who are supposedly transgender and intersex knowledgeable. One flat out told me she had no training or understanding of the needs of what transgender care means. I told her it was normal as we are the smallest minority so who would want to waste precious time studying those like us? Yesterday I passed over some data to my psychiatrist she had never looked into. Yes, I see one as most all of us do. I'm lucky, she's beautiful, super intelligent, has degrees running out the ears, and most importantly cares about trans and intersex. I accused her of having a morbid curiosity about the misfits of humanity. If she had an MD she would be dissecting us physically instead of mentally. She's so much fun.

Consider this: if you were to look through every single medical record in the UK – all 55 million – you won’t find a single record labelled as belonging to a transgender person. This is also true for those assembled by many providers in the US.

Trust your doctors but educate yourself. How do you know if they are up to speed on trans and intersex if you haven't studied the life you were born with, yourself?

Dang this life is so much fun. Wish I could do it over so I could know what was ahead. I think I would have checked out when I was five years old knowing then what I know now. Nah, the good outweighed the bad after all.
