I just got my dream job helping run a trans healthcare program, and I’m looking for input from the community on on what would make you feel more comfortable or engaged with your medical provider. We provide everything from HRT to surgery to non-trans medical care. My goal is to have the happiest, healthiest patients in the country!
It’s not that I expect any trans staff there to out themselves on my behalf or anything, it’s just VERY OBVIOUS none of them are trans. There are things you just don’t have to explain to a fellow trans person, you know? The staff at my doctor’s office need like toddler level handholding when I’m trying to explain the most basic shit. Even an extraordinarily well-informed cis person just does not have the life experience necessary to fully grasp what it’s like, and that is reflected in the quality of service.
TLDR, I don’t need individual confirmation of the cis status of each staff member, because an office with any trans staff (at least any who’s opinion is taken into consideration) would not behave like this
