That's awesome. I'm glad you chose to tell your doctor. Our doctors should know virtually everything about us because illnesses and their treatments can be very complicated. Besides, if you can't tell your doctor that, then what other things are you likely to keep from them. They are there to help you - not judge you. Some do a better job of staying impartial than others. Thankfully my doctor has been absolutely awesome. He still sees my ex wife and my kids as well as me. He knows about my bf's illness and always asks about him - by name. Congratulations for coming out!
That's awesome I told the nurse who gave me my girl-cancer immunisation last year, because I was curious about whether I was more or less susceptible, and she totally took it in her stride. A lot of medics are really good with it, and I'm glad to hear yours was!
I get very nervous about telling people outside of my family about being a lesbian. Mother says she doesn't mind who I come out to, and that it is my decision, but somehow I feel as if I would be causing a lot of unecessary trouble for my parents if anyone were to ever say something out of line about me. I just couldn't hurt or shame them that way. Both of them are phenominal people and pure at heart. So, not only is my doctor outside of the family, he is also a heterosexual man. I have a very difficult time talking to them. Most older gentlemen I have met usually ask if I have a boyfriend, and it scares me to death to tell the truth. I've come out to a lot of people before, but I've never had to deal with confrontation or rejection. Perhaps that is what bothers me most. I don't like to participate in arguments. To get to the point of this post, I wanted to really congratulate you on coming out to your doctor. Perhaps I will have the courage to stand up and do it myself now. I've been diagnosed with depression, therefore it may be an important factor to my treatment. Good luck with your further accomplishments! --Jamie
