on medical forms when checking into the hospital or urgent care, why do they ask your gender identity and pronouns? they misgender you 100% of the time anyway no matter what so why bother asking that? every single time.

Well you see that’s just proof they didn’t read your chart before seeing you and you should 1) report them and 2) go to a different urgent care

and the bottom line is you need to be real with yourself. If you haven’t undergone surgery to completely change your gender you’re gonna have to be treated in the gender you currently are. Have some common sense

haha they never do, my last doctor tried to prescribe me a medication you’re not supposed to take with one of the disorders i have which is THE FIRST THING in my chart. i also live in a red state tragically so that might be it as well, im just confused why they bother using forms that ask when they don’t care

If it helps, don’t just ascribe it to red state, just ascribe it to the providers. I live in a deep red state and have only had 2 horrible doctors, who when I reported them everyone was genuinely concerned and immediately blacklisted them from referrals and sent me to new ones (currently no issues with the new one, and my PCP has been great beyond the usual overworked doctor mishaps he fixes asap). So don’t feel stuck

Bold of you to assume they wouldn’t bomb one of their own in a heartbeat

surgery changes your anatomy, not your gender. gender is how you feel and what your identity is, and unless you’re genderfluid it doesn’t change throughout the course of your life. who are you to tell me about common sense? you don’t even know the basics about GENDER.

And this is why you need to exercise some common sense. That's the only thing they're worried about is your body. Not about what you FEEL your gender is. So we're supposed to call you ma'am while the urologist is talking about your dick. Be for fucking real. This is what I mean about you people going too far. You can't get mad at people that DGAFF about your situation. They're interested in saving your life not your feelings. Get over yourself

it’s really not that hard to respect people’s pronouns every now and then. if asking for basic human decency is “going too far” to you then i don’t know what to tell you. take a nap and chill out

Uh yes it is. When your eyes are looking at a visible man. But you want to be called ma'am. It's seriously a fucking adjustment. Trying to get your eyes and brain together with what's the obvious. Like I said y'all go too far. What's going on with you is your business. You're seriously asking too much from strangers. Your family loves you. We don't

And then sometimes your own blood doesn't either. How about you take a nap thinking people are always doing it on purpose. You're never going to be that important to strangers. Get over yourself. I try to keep it together and still slip. So AGAIN GTFOY. Maybe you need to specify if you're talking to the ones that's doing it on purpose

dude what are you talking about? and what makes you think i want to be called ma’am? you’re not really making any sense. don’t you have more important things to be doing than inarticulately telling random strangers on the internet that you don’t love them? and to you’re point that i’m not that important to strangers, i know that, that’s why im confused why they’re asking at all. just re read the actual post itself instead of attacking people’s identities it’s kind of weird
