Where are you in the world? I am a diagnosed autistic ftm without any transitions. I would like to know your country/state because I want to research if this is something that I should be concerned of this too. I am already concerned about possibly transitioning (I am uncertain of what I want for myself) and am sorry you have to deal with this. If you would like to rant or just chat, I would love to talk with you.

Are you in a position where you could choose not to share it with your medical doctor(s)? I'm diagnosed autistic and trans (haven't medically transitioned yet either) but I don't allow my psychiatric professionals to share records with my primary doctor or the doctor's office I get physical health care at. There's a lot of stigma against mental illness & neurodivergencies and I'm just too paranoid after having issues from sharing an anxiety diagnosis as a youth (I have a health condition that causes fast heart rate & fainting which was blamed on my anxiety for an excessive amount of time) I disclose medications and anything relevent to my physical healthcare teams, but beyond that, it's not necessary for my physical doctors to know any more information about my psyche than I choose to present them with
