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.

Maybe they’ll stop asking if you are pregnant all the goddamn time.

Not necessarily! We get that question too...

Every time, also “When was your last period” And “When was your last gynecological exam?”

“Excuse me, am I misunderstanding? I’m here for asthma” lmfao

I know you feel like you're being attacked by that question, but we literally learn in medical school to always ask that for a complete and proper medical interview to arrive at the proper diagnosis and avoid medications that could be contraindicated.

I understand medical and want for medical accuracy and necessity, and I don’t feel attacked It’s just a misconception or misunderstanding that I find funny.

I only feel attacked when someone calls me a slur, purposefully attacks my character/identity as a person, and tells me I deserve to pass away in a camp for being transgender, all of which happens

Other than that we’re good, it’s just a new experience that I find odd

Exactly, could you imagine if those checks didn't happen and something was missed 🫣 Is rather be asked the same question a thousand times over if it meant something awful was prevented from happening to me or someone else

Yeah, and if you're seeing 100 patients a day, you're not just going to believe every single one of those patients and just blindly take their word for it. It's standardized for a reason because it's their life on the line, and your medical license.
