So my visit went great. That clinic is incredible and the Dr was amazing. It was overwhelmingly queer hahaha. Several different pride flags were hug up, and the fence outside was painted in pride colors.

They also run a tight ship. Which was great since I was extremely anxious. I had to be buzzed in, they had a strict no phones out in the lobby policy, and I'm guessing the appointments are staggered because I didn't see any other patient there. Though I could hear other patients come and go from other exam rooms. They even had a separate, secluded parking area and entrance from the rest of the medical building complex thing they are attached too.

I did the usual front counter check in stuff, then I was immediately taken to an exam room to wait. All of the staff introduced themselves with pronouns, and they were so nice. All in all 10/10 worth the wait.

11/10 absolutely glad to hear cat-trans a lot of these security measures are probably to protect the privacy/anonymity of trans patients who have shitty families, or are otherwise just anxious like you. I love to see it honestly. It always felt kinda weird going to my endo's office, when close to 99% of the signs up, and people there, are all for like orthopedics or whatever.

It was definitely for privacy and anonymity. The clinic is in a very conservative area in a very conservative Midwestern state. I live in a slightly less conservative Midwestern state but it's still not great. I could have tried to go somewhere locally, and I'm sure there is a GP that would prescribe hrt. But this clinic was rec'd by my therapist and I'm so glad I waited. First time I've been asked pronouns and she/her'd in person. crush

One of the best parts about my first HRT appointment is that like 3 different people I've never met before in my life called me a girl name

Big happy for you and big jealous!

Sounds like a lot of fun

[โ€“] Wake@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It really was a lot of fun. Once the anxiety subsided and I could actually enjoy myself. It was the first time I've been asked pronouns and she/her'd in person which was so nice. I was so awkward when they asked hahahaha. "Uh she/her I guess?" madeline-scared

That's really fucking cool. Seems like you found a great place.

[โ€“] Wake@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

It really was an amazing little clinic. The Dr was sooooo nice too. The entire staff was friendly and affirming as well.
