So I'm not sure about other people's experience, but combined with how insurance is in the US, every time I try to do anything medical/look for a new doctor, I get absolutely terrified. I want someone who is familiar with my body, and not someone whose own bias will affect how they treat me. I'll admit, I am a little sensitive about it because I know my body isnt cisnormative, and because I know how transphobic some people can be (being raised in a transphobic household), I get really really nervous. I feel like every time I mention it cover a call, I am going to be laughed at as what happened at one place early in my transition.

I am trying to look for a new primary care doctor but because of how limited my insurance is, I feel like I have no option besides traveling a hour away to my nearest functioning planned parenthood instead of taking the surplus of doctors around me that would legit take me about 5-10 minutes just to go to and get my check ups done and all. I hate how whenever I go to a new office and bring up my estradiol, the nurses give me that look and I just have to put up with it because I need whatever I came there for. I just want to be treated normally god damn it.

TLDR: Medical providers suck.
