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 😅

    Telling trans people that disclosing their trans status in medical contexts on the surface seems defensible, but it seems to me that it may be more motivated by a desire to reduce trans people to their assigned sex in medical contexts, which in the end is less about good medicine and more about cis-sexist norms.

    Yeah. I’ve yet to have a medical professional gender me correctly in reports. I’m a man who thinks he’s a woman to them. They all seem so pleasant until I read their reports and see what they were actually thinking.

    Edit: This is Jorunn btw :P just with my lemmy account
