I went today to a family doctor and she put me in the nationwide medical system as transgender. She waa sweet but coming home made me feel so vulnerable, that for now on whenever a doctor sees me I am at risk. I feel that this fear is bordering on excessive at this stage, there are clear advantages of being out to people who treat me medically especially considering the fact that I am transitioning. In three months or so I will for the rest of my life be taking Estrogen so I can't really hide it. I just don't know how to stop being afraid so much about prejudice and I feel that it is in many ways holding me back. My family responded really badly when I came out and it left me with the feeling that if the people I love responded in such a way, no one would accept me and others will hurt me also. Anyone know how to deal with this and stop feeling so afraid?
