For most of this book, we've been talking about
interacting with physicians, chiropractors nurses, nurse
practitioners, physicians' assistants and other physical
health care providers. However, doctors and the like are
certainly not the only professionals with whom you might
interact. There are psychotherapists, dentists, accountants,
attorneys and more.
In some cases, it may not be important to come out to
these professionals; it's often not directly relevant in your
dealings with them, and unless it's relevant, there's no
need to share information with them about your private
sexual practices. On the other hand, your dentist does
need to know that you are planning a tongue piercing
while he is treating your gums, and your accountant
does need to know about your part-time business as a
professional dominant (are your corsets deductible? how
about the latex?).
