i do not know what is going on. this is only one facet of an increasingly surreal experience
Every time I have weird gender stuff like that happen I think of Jayne County's 1978 song Man Enough To Be A Woman
I've heard of others run into this sorta complication after changing their gender on file for their doctors' clinic - things like being booked for ovarian cancer screening or something.
If I ever had that happen (if I updated things) I'm not sure how I'd feel.
yeah I had a doctor who had to keep on quashing the system's "overdue for a pap smear" warning, and like clockwork once every month I'd get the alarm again that I was very overdue for one
finally the doctor figured out he could put in a "done on 12/31/2099" and that stopped it Forever, then a few months later I had to change doctors anyway
one time I was doing the nurse pre-check for an annual physical and the nurse asked me, "Oh, this has you listed as trans. Do you still have your vagina?" and I was like, uh, 1) it doesn't work that way, and 2) it doesn't work that way
yeah after I stammered a bit she clarified that she was really just trying to be more inclusive while asking the “could you be pregnant?” question and I’m like… that’s… not how that works either
I guess some people just don't know! Which is fair.
But also, ma'am you work in healthcare...
one time I was in the hospital with a blood clot and was told by the doctor to discontinue my estradiol (in the most frustrating way which implied I was just taking it "for funsies") and when I was complaining about that to the nurse I mentioned that I didn't want to go through menopause and her response was
"Absolutely, you're so young! You don't want to go through that before it's your time!"
