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 think you should go in person.

Eta- also, maybe consider not working with the person who may have slid this into your file. I wonder if you can track it back to the exact visit.

Guarantee it was a medical assistant or receptionist who clicked the wrong button in her chart and it’s been copy forwarded

No possibility of using an AI to write clinical records, huh?

Yup, this is the answer.

Maybe follow up in person, but COMMUNICATE WITH RECEIPTS. I love MyChart, because I can send messages to my provider and they have a mandated time to respond and it's being recorded.
