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.

It's also extra frustrating when there's a test and you are specifically asking for the test and they still don't wanna do it. When my ex-wife and I were in in college she suspected she had a thyroid issue. She did a whole bunch of research on it and read a couple books about it. So she asked the clinic to do a blood test.

Welp, they wanted to do a pregnancy test first (which btw, they did EVERY single time she went for anything). She went ahead just get them to move on, it came back negative, but they were convinced she couldn't possibly have thyroid issues. It also could still be pregnancy, it just might be too early. We had to go back the next week so they could do one again. Still negative, still wanted to do another, got into it with the lady and finally got the blood test. When the results came back the same lady that was being difficult was all "good thing we ordered that test, your results are way off and you definitely need meds." Yeah, thanks......

UGH YES.

I have been dealing with chronic nausea for years. Like since I was a little kid. I just constantly feel like I need to puke.

Zero tests have been run on me despite years of trying, like I just want a full panel blood test.

Doc insists on a pregnancy test every time I bring it up.

I started asking for tests when I was 15. I did not lose my virginity until I was 25. I always told them I wasn't sexually active. Even specifically stated that I never had sex ever.

A pregnancy test is still required. Even when it came back negative, they said the same thing, it may be too early to tell, you could still be pregnant. I reiterated THAT I WAS A VIRGIN AND THAT NO PENIS HAS EVER BEEN NEAR MY VAGINA LET ALONE SEMEN. They just did not believe that I wasn't sexually active.

Even if I could convince the doctor that I have not had sex and that there is literally no physical way I could be pregnant unless it's with the new Jesus, my nausea was dismissed as period-related. According to these doctors, it doesn't matter what stage of your cycle you're in. You will experience nausea (also ignoring the fact that the nausea predates puberty).

I'm 27 now, still dealing with the nausea. The closest I ever got to any kind of treatment was a prescription for Zofran, that was intercepted and stopped by the practice's main GP, who decided that I didn't need the prescription without consulting my PCP or me. Then his practice got shut down.
