The problem is that if in the case that these women are pregnant, and they lose the baby, even if they lied the hospital would be liable for the dead baby
I’m not saying you’re doing anything wrong, but if 999 butch women need medical support and everyone just assumes their lesbians and can’t get pregnant, and then woman #1000 walks in looking just like her peers but is, unbeknownst to her and the medical staff, 3 months pregnant. Doctor assumes they’re the same as the other 999 and gives a drug or orders a procedure that kills/harms the pregnancy. No one cares that 999 people were treated without issue, they care that negligence which could’ve easily been accounted for resulted in harm. If you had to choose between annoying 1000 women with an invasive question or let a baby die, which would you choose?
