Speaking of prostates - urologists, if they don't do urogynecology, are equipped to do rectal ultrasound not neovag ultrasound. Would only be fair to make that in their scope. Ah who am I kidding, the patient would insist on a female urogyne anyway.

It would be interesting (in a world where I could be openly questioning about such things) to talk to the urologists where I work and find out if they actually do orchiectomy on TiMs. Traditionally that's only for cancer.

Gynes and uros are surgeons. They do of course use medications, but from a specialized perspective and a limited repertoire. Asking them to do experimental cross-sex endocrinology is about as opposite as you can get from what interested them in their specialties!

Which is even more true for gynes who again are in their field to deal with women's health. So they include female reproductive endocrinology in some of their practices, though usually everything outside of sex-hormone related stuff is sent back to us or referred to yknow, an endocrinologist if it's outside my scope too. Not male systems!

My male GP colleagues aren't creeped out like I am. I of course don't let on about my real feelings, which makes it even more exhausting, and lonely because for all I know my female colleagues share my discomfort but aren't talking either.
