I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and i'm going to say i'm transgender.i was wondering if you could help me in how to discuss it. sorry for this. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why are you sorry?: Your doctors should understand some people are transgender and be willing to understand your perspective. you may have to explain you feel like a woman or prefer to dress in womans clothes. is there something in particular you are worried about?
