I’ve been saying, “I was born without a uterus”, which so far seems to answer honestly without directly outing myself as trans.

Any thoughts on how to best navigate this? Ideally without disclosing I’m trans 😅

    hypothetical medication that would harm me if the doctor thought I was a cis man and didn’t out myself

    Not that I’m accusing you of anything, but this is a hypothetical that I hear a lot from transphobes (ie, "would you take the medication only for “biological” men / women despite being a trans woman / man? If so, ha ha! You admit to being your AGAB really. If not, ha ha! You die).

    Other than questions of what anatomy is physically present, I’ve never heard of (and sincerely doubt the existence of) any case where birth sex is relevant.

      Yeah, I say hypothetical medication because as far as I can tell it remains that. Medicine is complicated enough that I’m not willing to rule it out as inherently impossible, but if such a thing exists I doubt we even know about it, given the sorry state of medication trials with regards to treating cis men as the default human.
