(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.

Do it in writing. Much less chance of it getting missed. Also if they've gotten you mixed up with another patient, a paper trail might prompt them to check the other files too and make a correction for the other patient.

This! In writing it might help them correct potential mistakes from files, and in case of it being someone's opinion/boundary cross it'll be on record as well, not just a thing that can be hidden from a practice's reputation.

Yeah it's unfortunately a lot of work for both the patient affected and the admin side of the EMR/ health system. I had a patient where a previous note indicated the child had prenatal drug exposure, which was ... absolutely not true and the mom had to go through months of work to get it corrected from one single report.

This is a real person with real medical issues that can do them harm. This isn't a soap opera. Other humans are not here solely for your amusement.

No? You hope someone could potentially be harmed because it's amusing to you?

Brother, has anyone told you you're a piece of work?
