A New Doctor

My old male doctor retired last year so I had to choose a new doctor. I did some thinking and decided I was not comfortable with a male doctor anymore. My of doctor was great, but now I find myself relating and feeling much more comfortable with women, therefore I choose a female doctor. First visit was kind of an "oh my" moment. Thought we were just going to talk, go over past medical history (with me that's a long history). The nurse took me back, height, weight etc. . . then we go in the exam room. He's the "oh my" - go ahead and put this gown on . . . you can leave you underwear on. . . "oh my!" I had ladies t-shirt, tight ladies jeans, ladies running shoes (who could really tell they were ladies) but I had on white cotton ladies panties!
Doctor and nurse were very cool. Didn't say anything or seem to care at all. Of course I didn't say anything but I was pretty nervous and my face had to be red as a beet. All and all I'm glad to have a women doctor now!
Does anybody else feel more comfortable with female doctors or other professionals? I won't go to a male therapist, and haven't for years!

I had the chance to have a female doctor years ago. Sadly she moved to a different city after a few years. I talked to her about my gynecomastia, she confirmed that it was indeed due to breast/glandular tissue and not only fat. So she thought me how to perform the breast auto-examination, etc.
She was not aware of me having any gender "issues", as there was no real need for that.

I do think that female doctors are more understanding with us. All the female doctors and nurses I have dealt with, and still am, where, and are, very supportive since my first day of coming out. Since the first day on, they called me by my then preferred pronouns. Two years later one nurse at the desk told me she just then noticed my female gender in the (DEERS, military) records

She then accidently called me sir, but she quickly corrected and apologized. <3 (probably since I was on my way to electrolysis and I had a 3 day's of visible facial hair)
She is also a little jealous on my breast growth.
Anyway, I remember the first time out when I had to draw my blood at the lab. Sitting there with no shirt but a bra.

In a open space with multiple stalls, male and female combined, in the Army clinic.
One quick way to overcome shyness.
Currently my assigned pcp doctor is a male, haven't meet him yet. My endo is also male, but very understanding and a real nice guy.

My last two male primary care doctors retired, then I had a woman for a few months until she very suddenly left the country (I'm still trying to find out why!). Now I have another woman, and I'm happy with her. All my other doctors are male.

I see a wonderful and understanding female doctor and have been visiting her for about 5 years. She does not know about my crossdressing but would be very acceptable if I should share it with her one day.

I know what you mean. I am inclined to women too and have had female doctors....My colonoscopy was carried out by a team that was 100% female but just as I got settled into a comfortable position when ... I woke up in the first room with my older sister waiting for me with my bag of clothes until I was recovered enough and IV and etc all disconnected and taken out. I feel a close connection with women. At home her Just my poor wife total care end stage dementia bed bound and the entire female hospice team except the physician who I never see but I did used to work with him in the same Internal Medicinc Clinic at one time. Our sitter is a woman, and My wife is visited by her Mother and a female friend. I am surrounded by women and absolutely do not feel that I am lacking in any way, I do not like being around men anymore because I am different. Not that I cannot or have any problem and cannot be with men I just prefer not to be with any and have no friends, while I do have a couple female friends online.
Yeah... female medical team please!
