As with any job involving working with the public, an element of knowing how to talk to people effectively is an important talent for doctors and medical staff to have. It's common courtesy to refer to a trans person as their preferred gender. Plenty of doctors have their own thoughts on various issues but it shouldn't really come up when it comes to treating or diagnosing a patient's illness.

Health issues are a different kettle of fish as trans people can still find themselves falling ill with issues that affects their birth gender and in those cases, doctors should discuss the issue frankly but still acknowledge their preferred gender.
