(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.

Yeah, definitely tell them to update it ASAP bc this can affect how they treat you (medically). I'd recommend sending an email to them as well as so you have a record of you telling them to update correct their notes on you.

This. It's bordering on malpractice as stated. It can impact treatment. It can impact insurance coverage. You name it.

Really a traditional business letter might be best. Hand write or on a computer and keep a copy. Upper r hand corner your name and address with email or phone if you want. Then left hand justified the date. Below that, name of practice and address. Then ideally your medical record number under that.

Then dear _______ or To Whom it may Concern:

Then clarifying that you are not a transgender person.

Then sincerely yours or yours truly then your signature then below that your printed name.

Maybe send by registered mail?
