At "my" VA hospital the M to F trans-gendered patients are assigned to the woman's "Pink" clinic. This is much better than before when we were in the main hospital with the male veterans. I suffered for several years with that setup because of old habits. There I would be in the waiting room all dolled up and passing nicely when a nurse would come out and announce my male name with Mr. in front of it. Then the guys would stair at me when I stood up to go in with the nurse. It was humiliating. Each time I would request to be called by my fem name in the future but they never did. Now we are all women at the Pink clinic and I am always called by my fem name. They finally get it. Leanne
