How does a man who wants to grow male to female breasts tell the doc their intentions?

Question

How does a guy tell their intentions of seriously wanting breasts of their own to their own doctor. The products i had in mind to do this all say talk to your doctor, yeah right. I know some if not most will poke fun at me but i don't give a hoot. Answers please only from the gay,lesbian community.

Answer 1

Hope you'll take an answer from a friendly straight nurse----but it's an honest one, and I hope will be helpful----

Please see about getting a copy of _Health Care Without Shame: A Handbook for the Sexually Diverse and Their Caregivers_, by Charles Moser, MD, Ph.D. It's published by Greenery Press, and readily available through Amazon (which is discreet in mailing, FYI). See the reviews on that site.

This book is absolutely superb!--I've lent copies to a number of other health care providers, to help increase awareness of issues in treating people from all sorts of alternative sexualities. (We're on about our fifth copy now, having told a few providers to "keep and pass along to others.") Wish it was required reading in every medical and nursing school in the US....

The first portion is written for the layperson user and discusses finding health care providers who can work with you and who YOU can work with; the last few chapters are written for health care providers. There's one chapter that provides a fast "general thumbnail" of What It Is That A Lot Of Us Do, which I've found fantastic when it's necessary to bring someone up to speed, nonjudgmentally, in a couple of minutes.

You might also want to check into Race Bannon's Kink-Aware Professionals---think the link address has changed, but you can Google the phrase---which will give you **some** heads-ups on health care providers who are quite tolerant, although the geographical range might not be as great as you'd like.

Consider also getting a copy of your local area's Gay/Lesbian yellow pages or alternative newspaper and looking for advertisements for health care providers as a starting point towards finding a caregiver who is *less likely* to give you some flak. (Although you might be surprised---there's a surprising number of providers in the "mainline straight" community who may just shrug their shoulders, ask you some screening questions, and say "your personal business, not mine"..... or "not my expertise, but go see X...." and hand you a referral slip.

Good luck, and take care.

Answer 2

Are the breasts purely for your own entertainment or as part of a complete gender reassignment?

If you just want breasts you can get the hormone pills over the counter in Tijuana pharmacias

Answer 3

Acquiring female hormones isn't anything new, so yes, talk to your doctor. Be aware it also shrinks your penis to almost nothing.

The only times I've heard of this were with guys wanting to do drag shows, or as a preliminary to sex change.

I'd definitly recommend counseling with a professional first; I don't know the long term effects of such treatment, so you ought to be certain before you jump into it.

Answer 4

Just tell your doctor. To get the best treatment they can get, GLBT people need to be honest with their doctor. Oh, and make sure you're going to a GLBT friendly doctor. Some ignorant, conservative quacks might try to send you to the loony bin for that.

Answer 5

I think ask the doc

Answer 6

be straight forward. who cares what the doc thinks. you're paying him. and i don't think he will laugh. doctors deal with grosser and weirder things everyday.

Answer 7

Move your mouse to print, click, now take your question and hand it to him on your next visit.

Answer 8

???

I do not understand ur question??

For a transexual, I think they only said; Doctor, I want a breast.
