I once had a psychiatrist write that I was wearing “gender neutral clothing” in the sentence after stating I was “currently undergoing gender re-assignment from male to female”. I was wearing a pretty feminine sweater, skinny jeans and doc martens. It was hard not to see it as a dig at the fact I wasn’t wearing a dress or skirt, which is something that’s absolutely used to gatekeep trans women from transition related healthcare.
