If you happen to be Trans Gender in Seattle, you are also most likely sleepless in Seattle!

When I began my trans gender journey in 2004, I thought it would be so easy to be trans gender male to female in Seattle. After all, isn’t Seattle the most liberal city in the pacific northwest?

In the summer of 2007, I had my surgery in Bangkok and when I came back I had a horrible life threatening infection. Guess what, my doctor was on vacation for a month. Which nobody bothered to tell me before I left, which they knew of. So here I am newly female and in Everett Washington having a near death experience with no doctors within 250 miles having a clue what to do and my doctor on vacation.

Well as it turns out, Providence hospital (Colby Campus) in Everett Washington, they were WONDERFUL! They were compassionate and totally professional. I felt blessed and incredibly lucky.

There are not enough professionals in the medical field in Seattle for the thousands of trans gender people in this area. Sadly, this is most likely due to malpractice insurance costs etc. They have been driven elsewhere.

If you know of medical services that are excellent in the pacific northwest for trans gender people, please let me know by commenting below. My doctor is now with Pac-Med Beacon Hill at 206-505-1101 Dr. Teresa Murphy. She was at Pike Market Medical Clinic but was treated horribly by someone in Admin to the point she had to leave after 18 years. They lost a brilliant doctor! But that is a gain for Pac Med Beacon Hill Seattle. So if you are trans gender and need medical help, try her!

Being trans gender in Seattle should not make you sleepless in Seattle but, it just may with the shortage of medical professionals for the trans gender community. Let’s hope it gets better.

I was born with male genitals in 1967. Male genitals any man would be proud of. But I was never male. I was a female trapped in a male shell.

I never knew however that this was the case because at 10 I was molested and thought the feelings were just gay or I didn’t know what. It took many years of denial before I figured it all out. I guess I shouldn’t say all, I still have a lot to learn.
