The one time I got switched to a male provider I was like 16 and wanted to go on birth control because of my acne (I wasn’t even sexually active and didn’t plan on being). He started freaking tf out and basically said he refused to prescribe a medication that would encourage me to have sex even though my mom and I repeatedly told him that wasn’t the intention

they’re so awful 😭 mine was so weird about me getting on birth control he kept telling me i could get off it wherever i wanted to have kids and when i told him i didn’t want children he got so visibly annoyed?? and then when he finally DID put me on birth control it was a completely wrong dose that gave me the WORST mood swings and depression and when my obgyn (who’s a woman) saw it she was like umm wtf why did he put you on this… and she switched it and then i was fine again

mine is chill but i also live rural and have no other options, if i did though id ask for a woman, soley because i have trauma w men and my dr and i had to slowly build trust before he could even put hands on me for any reason. like if he leaves and we get a new male dr im going to have to resort to driving an hour to go to a female dr :/

Feeling comfortable and safe at the doctor is literally the most important thing, and no *good* doctor should ever be offended by a patient’s preference for a doctor of the same gender (i’ve heard some men also don’t want to see female urologists, i think it makes sense in general honestly) i would be fine with a male pcp personally by never as an obgyn

Idk why but I’ve had better experiences with therapists and psychiatrists that are men. That’s probably bc I have trauma from previous providers that were always women.

But every specialist I’ve had to go to, men suck, especially white men, white cisgender heterosexual men. Their egos are too big

It’s not rlly abt sexism tho? It’s just that a lot of women feel unsafe and have their guard up around men so it makes sense that they wouldn’t want their primary doctor to be a man since you have to share a lot of personal and sensitive information with ur doctor

Plus, women’s experiences tend to get downplayed and ignored in medical spaces even from female healthcare providers so it makes sense that as a woman you wouldn’t want the additional factor of having ur primary physician be a man who would have an even harder time understanding ur experience

oh okay like that’s nearly as bad as men saying they don’t want a female doctor bc they think we’re weak. at least we have an actual reason to distrust male doctors

Hey so women are more likely to die if their doctor is a man. It’s not sexism when it’s documented that they take mediocre care of us. It’s doing what’s best for you and that’s fine. They literally said that male doctors are great they just won’t have one. How dense are you
