More offensive than being called a boy?

So I saw a primary care physician today only to be informed it was yet another hoop for me to jump through because I had to be recommended, instead, to an Endocrinologist. So she gave me two numbers to call. The first one, after hearing my story- "No. No we're not interested in your case." "Excuse me?" "We're not interested in transgenderism." O_o....Okaaaay. Didn't know Doctors got to pick and choose their cases, that's news to me. But anymew, asked for a reccomendation of someone who WOULD be interested in it "We don't know. We don't handle people like you. Good luck."
Joy.
So called the second doctor. Again. Right off the bat "no, we're not interested in your case." Like I had called the same number by mistake twice [I checked to make sure I didn't] on the up side THEY could point me to a hospital that WOULD be interested. Emory. So I call them. "Oh we have one doctor on staff who's ecstatic about cases like yours! His next available appointment is in July............................."
At this point my forehead hits the steering wheel.
"Would you like to book?"
"No, thank you. I'll.. Make other arrangements."
So after exhausting several other numbers and trying to find different people the soonest I can get to see someone is January 21st. A lot longer than I wanted to wait but hell... It's SOMETHING.

FA+

I suppose that isn't too bad compared to July though!
Be a good girl and the time will fly :p
