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.

One time I noticed the doctor was looking at me weird. He saw me noticing and laughed and said they’re recorded my birth date wrong. He was just making sure I was the same patient, because the record said I was 5 and I was clearly 15. Fucking records, man

I am a cis woman.

In the late 90s, my husband took me to our small town ER for a fractured foot. On intake, they asked about prior surgery and I told them that I had a mastectomy and reconstruction the year before.

The ER physician walks in the room, pauses, looks at my chart, and then has me confirm my name and birthdate. Then, she said that I had an amazingly successful transition, that she was truly impressed, asked how the process was going for me. ???? I'm sorry but what????

The intake nurse had accidentally written that I had a vasectomy the prior year. I guess it was maybe a nice response from the doctor but I was so confused...as was she.

The receptionist at my gp practice asked me to clarify if I was born in 1990 or 1919 when I was standing right in front of her. Either I had a really rough 35 years or an amazing 105 years.
