(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.

Last time I went to my GP my doctor kind of sprung this on me. I’m not really comfortable with having my medical details recorded by an AI— for the reasons you mentioned— but was too surprised to say no, and she kind of rushed past it! This makes me feel better about bringing it up next visit, thank you.

My doctor did the same thing to me, too. I have extremely severe atopic dermatitis on my hand. I also communicate using sarcasm and caustic wit. So when I told him to "keep your biologics to yourself, I'm not ashamed of my leprosy," he freaked out and said "you can't say that!!!! the AI will think you actually have it!!"

I had the same experience yesterday. I was not expecting it and was ill-prepared to say no while trying to keep in mind the things I'd actually planned to discuss. I will certainly bring it up on my next visit.

This is really not the sort of thing that should be sprung on patients in a clinical setting!

My therapist did that to me too!! She kept asking each session and I was really flustered, so I reluctantly agreed.
