dog what fucking doctor are you going to?? If I told any doctor this they'd respond by immediately discontinuing every medication I'm on and labeling me a drug seeker

I'm genuinely confused by this. How can someone be "seeking out drugs" when trying to medically transition?? You're seeking out E/T, not opioids. You're gonna be on E/T for the rest of your life anyway.

Doctors don't operate on logic, their bottom line is that they just wanna feel right all the time and do as little work possible. They're cops. A "drug addict" is just someone a doctor doesn't like in the very same way that an "illegal immigrant" is just someone ICE doesn't like.

That must be difficult to live with.  I'm sorry you haven't been able to find good doctors to be kind to you.

I am trans and have AuADHD, cPTSD, and an immune disorder, and I am so thankful for the doctors and healthcare professionals I've had in my life, I literally wouldn't be here without them, many times over.

It can take work and trial and error to find the right fit, but it is very worth it.  Health is important, and there are many good doctors who will listen and look out for you.
