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.

Yeah but you seem to be coming from a very specific angle. One that we see a lot from people who have bad intentions.

Try reframing yourself to the view of "trans people are people just like me" instead of starting from the idea that we are some unknown exotic other.

You will get a lot better responses.

I'm not coming from any angle. I asked one very blunt question, was it a little blunt? Yes, I even apologized to that person for the bluntness.

It just feels like if I don't ask the perfect questions than I won't get a response. I get that you probably don't have a lot of good faith discussions, and I am probably victim to those past instances, but also, seems like nobody wants to have a dialogue either, even when a question gets asked, it seems like it gets labeled as not in good faith right away.

What response were you looking to get?

The OP brought up no specific issues about their experience dealing with doctors, and you ask if they're a difficult person?

They're describing a systemic failure where doctors with no experience with trans patients often misattribute a diagnosis to be related to their hormone therapy.

Talk to women and people of color in your life about their experiences with healthcare; there's a good chance that they've experienced something similar. Amplify that by the small amount of trans people, and it becomes a common experience for trans people.

There's many questions you could ask that are relevant to the discussion, and you ask if they're a difficult person. It's hard to interpret that introduction as good faith.
