Mm. Cardiologist appointments are noticeably different since transitioning.
Cardiologist appointments as a man are like "fuckit, just take your shirt off, display your nipples to the world".
As a woman, I get a robe and a towel while they're poking at my chest with the echocardiothing, and they go out of their way to not look under them and generally be as polite as one can be while intently rubbing a device on a woman's chest.
(nothing is wrong, this is a routine checkup for an Unusual Heart Geometry Issue at birth that has long since stopped being a real issue)
Unrelated to that, my cardiologist works in a children's hospital so while they do this I get to watch both the pretty galaxy projector thing designed to amuse small children and the HGTV house hunting show they presumably flipped the TV to immediately before I walked in thinking "wait shit what do grownups like"
