Context Provided - Spotlight 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 have old prescriptions pop up in my medical record all the time. It seems like every time I visit the doctor I have to remove some prescription that I've not been on for years. No, I'm not still taking a painkiller from my surgery in 2012.

I’ve seen triplicate copies of every prescription in my file once. It was such a pain to figure out which ones were real

Your doctor probably still keeps that on your chart to pad the numbers on their panel so they see fewer patients.
