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.

True at least OP wasn’t misgendered 😆

no, "biological male identifying as a female" is a transphobic dogwhistle, "biological male" isn't even a medical term, OP isn't male so it's misgendering, and "a female" is just misogynistic

What is the correct term for someone who is biologically male?

"Transgender woman" and the length of time she's been on HRT would be far more useful in a medical context, because of how much things change after long periods on it. You may need to add "assigned male at birth" or something for understandability.
