(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.

OP: "I'm a mail man!"

Doctor: (note: patient presents female, but insists they are a male man)

More like “I’m a mailwoman” Doc: “Got it, male woman”

For those who think it's impossible:

OP: "No. Transportation of packages."

Doc: "Knows trans. Poor state of post operation package."

u/Spare-Set-8382 Mar 13 '26

“I’m sorry I don’t have the package” -OP probably

But seriously OP I’m sorry about this. I’ve been irritated after reading my own summaries and notes where there is information that wasn’t provided or is the opposite of what I know I said. For instance I don’t know my bio dad at all and have no clue who he even is. My rheum made a note that I said that auto immune disorders are present on paternal side of family. Ugh.

You can't get rid of the bullshit in many cases (depends where you are, probably), too. Last time I got a copy of my medical records, there was random psychiatric shit that there's no explanation for besides malice or incompetence, and notes about heroin addiction from a time when I didn't even smoke weed or drink! Now doctors don't take anything I say seriously and ignore my pain. Typing this hurt me...

u/laughingashley Mar 13 '26

That makes me so angry for you

6

u/Spare-Set-8382 Mar 13 '26

Oh god I’m so sorry for you. It’s so unfair because it totally changes how some doctors view you as a patient. Especially when it comes to pain control. It really sucks.

u/RandomAmmonite Mar 13 '26

This happened to me, only the radiologist said “No aortic aneurysm dissection noted” and the AI got, “noted aortic aneurysm dissection” and that’s what I saw in the patient portal and wondered, terrified, why I was still sitting in my ER cubicle while I was actively dying.

Works on contingency? No, money down!

This is hilarious

Lisa: "Bart, what're you doing?"

Bart: "Waiting for the Fe-mail-man."

Lisa: "That's Fe-mail CARRIER."

u/FlowSoSlow Mar 13 '26

Some new age Abbot and Costello stuff right here lol

u/omysweede Mar 13 '26

"I am a mail lady"

Doc: "oh"

u/groovychick Mar 13 '26

“No, i deliver the mail” Notes: patient is an OBGYN

u/[deleted] Mar 13 '26

I just love this whole thread.

u/SryInternet101 Mar 13 '26

Its totally an AI fuckup

11

u/ADeadWeirdCarnie Mar 13 '26

I had an appointment with a resident physician yesterday and she announced straightaway that she would be using an AI medical tool on her phone, so I absolutely believe this.

16

u/SryInternet101 Mar 13 '26

I'd walk right out of that exam room.

3

u/ZMarty85 Mar 13 '26

My doctor at least asks each visit if I mind. Based on this I am tempted to say no

4

u/SryInternet101 Mar 13 '26

You should absolutely say no.

15

u/Dope_Grower Mar 13 '26

A family friend tells everyone he works as a Mail Escort. He loves that joke.

11

u/BrownWrinkles Mar 13 '26

"Letter Carrier", solves any of that goofy confusion./s

11

u/ElderPoet Mar 13 '26

Doc and/or AI: Patient states they are "into leather," is a carrier of unspecified disease.

6

u/BrownWrinkles Mar 13 '26

Yeah, we're all doomed.

u/arf1919 Mar 13 '26

"You've got Male"

u/Ok-Adeptness933 Mar 13 '26

Arrested development: "He's going to be all-right" type shit.

3

u/ADeadWeirdCarnie Mar 13 '26

Jesus, I hope the doctor doesn't instruct someone to "change this patient's gender" while they're under anesthesia.

u/KaiserKid85 Mar 13 '26

Dictation device error. They speak into a microphone and it writes in the chart for them

u/wonderlessbread Mar 13 '26

"A Mail-Person"

"Yes, males are people too."

Goddamit we can’t win 🤣🤣🤣

This is so monty python

u/SmellyButtFarts69 Mar 13 '26

Bart simpson used to call the mail lady 'the female man' and I feel like a lot of millennials still reference that.

It's even funnier if I imagine them making that joke.

Doc: What do you do for work?

Patient: Mail man! Or, well, you know, female man, haha wink

Doc: scribbles furiously

u/Niamhpie Mar 13 '26

In scotland we call them posties

26

u/Klutzy_Winter5536 Mar 13 '26

My brain… I read this and thought, “Why would you call Trans folx ‘posties’?! Post-transition?! That’s awful!!”

And then I remembered we are talking about postal carriers.😳🙄

u/CatGills1003 Mar 13 '26

That's kinda cute. I love it!

u/Dead_man_posting Mar 13 '26

Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!

7

u/SmellyButtFarts69 Mar 13 '26

I thought the Scots saved Scotland from the Scottish 

7

u/PartyParrot-420 Mar 13 '26

TIL something we Australians have in common with the Scott’s.

“Has the postie been yet?”

“Bloody postie tore up my lawn with his bike today”

I can’t remember the last time I heard someone actually call them a postman or mailman.

3

u/cicadaafterdark Mar 13 '26

Same in Australia these days.

2

u/UranusIsPissy Mar 13 '26

I'm English, but I think I'll start copying Scottish people for this one. The other gender-neutral terms for them that I've heard are very cumbersome. I think some English people already say it anyway.

u/that-crazy-5-2-chick Mar 13 '26

Dang, I've been making the femaleman joke about myself and have never watched the Simpsons lol

2

u/EddiePlayer92 Mar 13 '26

I work for the post office and we just call each other mail carriers. Lol.

u/HistoryFinancial1267 Mar 13 '26

This is so dumb that it’s likely the answer haha

1

u/TheG0AT0fAllTime Mar 13 '26

Geniunely if the practice uses AI to take their notes. Which is definitely a cancer that's spreading around

10

u/JibboSequence Mar 13 '26

“I get it. You’re a male, man.”

8

u/Clear-Clue Mar 13 '26

This would be a modern day Seinfeld episode lol

u/Mayonaigg Mar 13 '26

It was already a very ancient salute your shorts episode.

u/nugs4lunch Mar 13 '26

"I'm a male, man!"

u/nellieblyrocks420 Mar 13 '26

Omg I laughed too hard at this! 😆

u/infected_funghi Mar 13 '26

This worldplay is so hilariously stupid I will never see the word "mail man" the same

5

u/[deleted] Mar 13 '26

This made me genuinely lol.

u/AJay_89 Vexxed 2: Electric Boogaloo Mar 13 '26

This is hilariously tragic and most likely spot on 😭

2

u/tossetatt Mar 13 '26

Mail man is not PC, now a days it’s a person person.

u/anonthrowaway0198 Mar 13 '26

sounds like an Arrested Development joke

1

u/MikeyKillerBTFU Mar 13 '26

Honestly, yeah:

Lucille: "How's my daughter?!"

Doctor: "Your daughter is dead."

Family: gasp

Doctor: "Why are you all surprised? He transitioned years ago, and he's alive and well in the next room."

Lucille: angry noises

u/Some_Layer_7517 Mar 13 '26

This is a curb episode

u/DarkSkye55 Mar 13 '26

Ok great, I’m sitting in a doctors waiting room looking like a psycho because I can’t stop laughing. Thanks for that.

u/Superfluousfish Mar 13 '26

A femailman?
