For me absolutely not. I am only diagnosed as "sex disorder", got bad blood results, and I get pushed around, because no one feels qualified to deal with me. I feel like people treat me like a zoo attraction. I had psychiatrists ask me to show them my body and touch me, because they were curious. Doctors get angry with me for not yet being diagnosed, question why I'm not yet diagnosed, don't diagnose me themselves, and then end up telling me they're not qualified enough. And then the next doctor it happens again. They don't even do new tests, they do the exact same tests, then get the same results, then act angry and tell me to find a more specialized doctor. I was told by multiple ones I need a brain scan to see if there's something off there, but then no one forwards me to one. My blood results suggest I will or actively am losing bone density.

I don't want anyone's advice or input on my case tbh. I'm tired of people playing Dr House with me.

You may already know this, but this is a typical side result of having low levels of sexual hormones for extended amounts of time. Have previous blood tests looked into that?

If i recall correctly that you're in Germany and you want to find doctors that are more inclusive of gender diverse people, you should give https://queermed-deutschland.de/nach-empfehlungen-suchen/ a try, i found them really useful when i planned my transition. Also, if you're in Germany and if going on hormones would mean that you want to go on hormones that do not align with your AGAB, i feel i must warn you that getting diagnosed as inter will make it extremely difficult to access gender affirming care that does not match your AGAB.
