Wisconsin (Milwaukee) Trans friendly Endocs/Docs?

[jenaflynn.livejournal.com]

Hello.
Recently I moved to Milwaukee Wi. Lovely place, but my current hormone monitoring and prescribing Doctor, (Fred Ettner) is now about 80 miles south in Chicago. Not a huge drive, but I'd really like it if I could find someone a bit more locally to the SE Wisconsin area. Does anyone have any experience with any Trans-friendly/experienced doctors in the Milwaukee/Racine/Kenosha area? I'd rather not get hormones prescribed or a monitored by a doctor that isn't at least somewhat familiar with TG (MTF) patients.

Thanks!

I'm still figuring things out, but I've heard about a process whereby someone can "adopt" another name, associating it with a current legal name, without completely changing ones name. From what I can tell it's usually called an AKA or something like that. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks.

So I was asked to present a workshop at this years Be-All. It's a predominately female based conference but they are desperately looking to include the masculine side this year. Saturday will be the day for the masculine side of the spectrum. Dr Michael Brownstein, MD, Dr. Marci Bowers, MD, Dr. Toby Meltzer, MD. Joelle Ruby Ryan, Ph.D. are just some of the speakers (and will be doing consolations). We're also trying to get other trans-masculine workshops as well. If you want to speak on something let me know (drag kings, passing, non-op, post-op, sex, issues, anything). The price to attend the conference seems a bit high but really you get a lot for the amount of money and they DO offer scholarships and they have a Saturday package. I really hope that I will see and or help some people go this year.
