So a couple weeks ago I had to pick up my testosterone gel, this would be my fifth bottle of the stuff atp. For context, I’m in southeast Michigan. This is a relatively decent area to live in if you’re trans, or lgbt in general. Every other time I’ve picked up my script in the past, I’ve been fine. The workers are usually pretty chill, just asking for the usual info they need to give me what I need.

HOWEVER, (this is CVS for added context),this last time I came to pick up my prescription, the worker had gave me a funny look when I told her my prescription was for Testosterone. Then after looking at my drivers license, she said in a low tone “hey, you do know that…this is for men…right? You shouldn’t be taking this.”

I’m not a very confrontational person, however, I did make sure to say something along the lines of “I’m transitioning, what my doctors prescribe to me and why I’m taking said medication is none of your business.” She gave me it afterwards, and I kinda skiddadeled out of there, feeling extremely awkward ofc.

I initially was going to file a complaint, but this specific CVS is closed permanently now. That’s a whole different situation (transferring my T to another CVS). But I figured there’s no point in doing so. Still a funny (weird not haha) situation.
