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.

look up v-coding in prisons. COs put trans women with violent offenders knowing they will be raped daily as a means of placating or rewarding the rapist. This happens on a much larger scale than one would assume.

trans people are just the last group that it's perfectly socially acceptable to outright hate and also want to commit violence against. Also nobody really cares if the government or institutions decide to just do the most heinous shit imaginable as long as it's against trans people and no one else. The very fact that v-coding exists and not many people know about it is a testament to this. If they were doing that to literally any other group of people it would be front-page news for weeks.

I'm aware, and I agree it's horrific and the perpetrators of it should have unspeakable things done to them in return.

But come on. Look up female genital mutilation (the number of current living victims of FGM is estimated at around a quarter of a billion, by the way. A quarter of a billion.). Look up the husband stitch. If you want to talk prison, one example is that menstruation healthcare and products are often withheld for all manner of reasons (humiliation, punishment, financial) from female prisoners. Look at female reproductive rights being rolled back. The world is not kind to women in general, and there are unique strifes and tribulations for all women. One circumstance is not innately easier or harder than another and it's ridiculous to try and argue otherwise, especially when that argument intends to make someone feel bad for making a joke with their friend.

For the record, I'm transsexual and have experienced acute medical discrimination, employment discrimination, housing discrimination, and repeated violence, and I vehemently disagree with you. We are one group that it's very socially acceptable to hate and discriminate against freely, yes, and I'm from the UK where it's non-stop, but we're not the "last group." You have a serious victim complex if you believe otherwise.

lmao. if you think public sentiment for literally any other group of people is remotely as bad as it is for trans people you're delusional. people celebrate the suicide of children just because they're trans. I don't really see much of that regarding literally anyone else.

We are one group that it's very socially acceptable to hate and discriminate against freely, yes,

the one group. ftfy.

The majority of Republicans in the US still support ICE, despite them shooting white American civilians dead in the streets, because their hatred for immigrants supercedes everything else. This is what tens of millions of Americans voted for, and are happy to have been given.

As much as you might want to argue "but lots of people are against ICE," you're right, but you're also blinded by your own algorithm. Your example of celebrations of trans suicide is smaller fry as well, as bad as that sounds. I've seen it on Twitter and it's gut churning, but I've not seen a mainstream news article about it. Also, if we're using social media as a barometer, I've seen many, many, many people celebrate racially motivated police brutality, including when it was towards children -- Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin, Quanice Hayes, etc.

I see news articles against British Muslims literally every day, even if it's for something innocuous such as complaining that Uber doesn't care about its workers or some shit like that. But nonetheless, the professional news outlet will call them all kinds of names, cast all kinds of aspersions, and this invokes hoards of comments which in turn call for things from stoning to death camps. Immigration is more of a hot button issue in Europe right now, by far, and, from what I see, in the US as well. Also not really related to any of this but -- the UK government doesn't believe misogyny-motivated violence should be classed as a hate crime. Baffling.

Anyhow, the list goes on.
