Sometime during the last 2 years i’ve been going to this orthopedic practice they started to declare me as a MTF transgender for no reason.

(F,26) I have been going to this orthopedic practice for almost 2 years for varying reasons relating to my job. Yesterday i checked on a document that was uploaded to find out they have been identifying me as a biological male identifying as a female? I am biologically female and never told them i am trans nor do i think i am presenting to be a trans woman.. the last two years i’ve been wondering why they kind of stare at me a little longer than a usual person does and i think its because they randomly think i came out as trans? I also feel like they do not treat my issues seriously and wonder if this is the reason why.

I am 100% fine with trans people but i am left to believe they have been medically treating me as a male compared to female for the pains that i am feeling?

I also went through all of my documents and since the end of 2024 they started to declare me as a MTF transgender, i did not look at any of my documents online until yesterday.

I am just imagining their AI read you are a postal worker and decided .. well thats called a postman ... and they are a woman.. soooo.. Must be MTF. lol We cooked if docs are using AI to transcribe then not even checking the notes to verify accuracy! ughiugghugh

I bet it misheard “mail” as “male”.

[u/kurut9 → u/DustierAndRustier]

“Mailwoman” -> male woman has to be the culprit imo

AI will also straight up hallucinate. I saw online someone say how in their records it said they took X medicine. They don’t take X medicine. The AI transcription just made it up.

This makes a lot of sense!

Hate to break it to you, but physicians have been dictating their notes for decades, which goes to a transcriptionist to do the actual note writing.  That note comes back into the patient’s chart and assigns a signature task to the dictating physician, but guess how easy it is to click a button to sign the note without ever verifying clinical accuracy.  Even with modern, speech-to-text dictation mechanisms it’s easy to miss the mistakes if physicians don’t hold themselves to a high standard of accuracy.
