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!

    I just love a clean, efficient, clinical experience. I’m sure this is idiosyncratic, but I spent a long time in direct care work taking clients to doctors. Some places are a mess. Nurses gotta find things. Nurses gotta figure things out. A good doctor’s office has places for things and things in their places. Procedures are known and followed. The Planned Parenthood where I get my hrt can be downright crispy. Once it’s my turn, I can be out of there in 10-15 minutes. It would be faster if they didn’t check in on me in general and offer me any and all other services they can provide or connect me with. If they’d stop being so damn supportive, we could do that shit in five minutes. And it fills me with trust. I’m a well informed and prepared patient, so we’re almost always on the same page. Quick chat>skillful disensanguination>gone. It’s beautiful. It’s almost a bummer to go to six month appointment intervals because it’s always such a wholesome and satisfying experience. So yeah, for me personally, give me a well oiled machine and I’ll be happy.
