I have Kaiser health insurance through work and a few years back, I decided that keeping a pair of men's underwear to wear to the doctor was just plain silly, because I wear women's underwear exclusively everywhere else... that and bra with at least a large "A" cup mastectomy forms in it (more like a small "C" most of the time) as well. I got an endocrinology appointment to discuss my hyperthyroid that required me to go straight there from work. As usual, I was wearing my sports bra with the "A" in it. I thought it would only be a consult, but he wanted to do a measurement and so had me lay on the exam table with a pillow under my shoulders so that my neck would be fully stretched to expose the enlarged thyroid to the max.

During the measurement, the heal of his hand rested on my boob. He asked me if my chest was getting bigger. I simply 'fessed up to wearing prostheses even to the point of taking one out for him to see and explained that while I was happy with my male role in my marriage and family, I saw myself as having a feminine psyche and the prostheses helped settle the disconnect with my psyche and my physical presentation.

He took it in stride and asked if we'd had that conversation before, because he'd had that same conversation with one of his patients. No, it wasn't me. After that, I've worn my feminine best when visiting him. And decided that when I needed to change primary care physicians that I would simply go dressed as if felt and if the doctor had a problem, I change and change again until I found one that had the attitude of my endo. My new doc didn't have a problem, and even complimented me on my shoes.

If you really want the details you can look up the visits up in my blog.
