LGBTQ+ health
You will not have to explain yourself here.
Most people looking at a page like this are not trying to find out what services are available. They are trying to work out whether the appointment is going to be uncomfortable.
Dr Morris is a cis gay man. He knows some of the barriers to healthcare from the inside, and he works at staying alert to the ones he has not personally run into, because his experience is not everyone’s.
You can use the language you use. You do not need to brief anyone. The practice is inclusive of the whole community, however you describe yourself and whether or not the acronym has caught up yet.

Hormone therapy
Dr Morris does not initiate or prescribe gender affirming hormone therapy. That is not a judgement about the care, it is about who is best placed to provide it.
If your hormone therapy has been prescribed by a clinician with that training, it can be administered here under a shared care arrangement, and the rest of your healthcare can sit here too.
