it's a weird state of affairs in the US. our view of medical care as a consumer good means that abuse by doctors is rampant with few legal protections, because instead of an established standard of care, you're supposed to shop around for a doctor that will treat you correctly.
My country actually has at least decent standards of care for trans people, but they simply get ignored by large parts of our medical community. Finding competent trans health care around here is a matter of knowing who to ask for advice, and way too often only feasible if you live in metropolitian areas.
