reasons

Did testosterone or
transition change your sexuality (who you are
attracted to)? —
Yes, I went from being
only into women, now fancy men too.
Didn't think it strange as
I had said many years earlier, that had I been born
male I thought I would have been.
Attitudes of HealthCare Providers
Positive aspects of
healthcare provider treatment —
Being treated
respectfully, as though I do know who I am and what
I want.
Negative aspects of
healthcare provider treatment —
Asking questions about
personal sexual acts when not relevant to the
consultation I'm requiring and telling me about
going to sexpo with his son and detailing
some of the things occurring there.
