Sorry I beg to differ as to a doctor?s inquiry about cross gender presentation. If you are trans and on hormones, the hormones can affect the prescription mode and strength of a lot of other medicines you might be prescribed. Estrogen affects the clotting factor in your blood and spironolactone (testosterone blocker) affects blood pressure and heart function.
So if a doctor sees possible signs that you might be trans and still closeted they have a darn good reason for asking.
The way the conversation should go is ?I?m a crossdresser.? ?Are you on or considering hormone therapy?? ?No.? ?Thank you.? (Doctor makes note in file patient not on any hormone therapy).
In my own case I came out to my dentist while I was still presenting male most of the time because I was being sent for a root canal and I wanted them to know I was on HRT because it might have an effect on the choice of painkillers.
