    I need to come out to my neurologist and my pcp. Ive been procrastinating for a year and I need to just do it. But I finally found a good pcp and I really don't want to have to switch, and since I'm in Texas, the risk is there. I'm also kinda concerned since neither of them have experience with trans people. Advice and how people came out to their doctors would be appreciated.
    Also I tried posting in the coming out forum and got no replies. So that's why this is here instead.

    If possible, I would try to gauge their acceptance level. You could do this by asking about trans issues at your next appoitment. Other than that, I would say that you will just have to bite the bullet and see how things go. Sorry I can't help more than that.

    Thanks. I know I need to just do, it just seems kinda scary.
