Hey, new HRT doc. You sure seemed to like wasting my time reasking gatekeeping 101 questions when I came to you at 9 months of HRT, just because my last doctor would take forever with legal transition notes. You went and asked when I first knew I was trans, to describe my dysphoria, and so on. The questions were invasive, but okay. You jotted down my name and address real quick. Then, while I'm sitting on the table waiting for you to get back, you send your nurse back to ask when I first crossdressed.

Then, you held on to the forms and letter templates, and told me you'd fill them out and mail them to me once you got paperwork from my old clinic "just to make sure " (what).

And then a week later you mail it, and WHOOPS, turns out you forgot to pay attention when I spelled out my address, and those forms are in the void. Thank god I left with my court order, as those things are expensive.

And when I tell you the docs are gone, you have your nurse call me to tell me I should have been more clear and assertive about it, and ask why there's two addresses on my file (one is what I wrote and from my HMO, one is your scribbles)
