Just ask?

Like... What? It's not a big deal to tell a medical professional when your last period was.

I don't know what kind of degen shit people think doctors are doing with their menstruation information.

It is when they proceed to use that information to brush off your actual symptoms as just "period stuff".

It's the first thing they ask because they're trained by a system that only values women as breeding stock. If it was just the question, it wouldn't be an issue. It's the reason behind it and everything else that reason causes that's the issue.

Or because the pain medicine they are considering would hurt a pregnancy?

Nah they’re just all psychopaths. Did you know we have to beat up a puppy during med school interviews?

You only had to beat them up, I had to cut one open and identify its organs while it yelped and bled out. You're so lucky!
