I live in Klamath Falls Oregon. There is a LGBT group here but it is mostly dead (no forum posts etc for over a year) and the local group that meets is sparse from what I have heard and is primarily leaning towards the LG part and not so much the transgender part.
Doctors wise, I have called every doctor within the city and they are either not taking new patients (the vast majority) or don't take my insurance at all. My current GP is actually an Intern over at the hospital where I was recently at for a suspected heart attack (false alarm.. yay me) and is a part of their training clinic... I'm hoping to bombard him with enough information and the basic threat that unless he prescribes the medications I'll go online for them, but regardless of what he does I AM going to be taking them, so he can either be on board with me on this, or not.
*shrugs* I've lived 50 years miserable in my own skin. I'm not going to let some squeemish doctor stop me from being myself.
