our midwife gave us some very solid advice to talk about with the pediatrician and ended it with "make sure to tell him you got this fror chatgpt and not a midwife, it makes doctors take you more seriously" :agony:

honestly she is such a well of information and such a kind-hearted good person and an elite expert, the stuff this woman can recall of the top of her head is mind-boggling, but gets slandered by our pediatricians boss it's fucking gut-wrenching. They keep saying that she is part of some circle of sheisters that recommend unnecessary procedures to make bank and we know the truth but there's nothing we can do...

I literally work in healthcare and I frequently tell my trans friends "it's always okay to lie to a cis doctor".

Recently I've had to tell my cis girlfriends "it's always okay to lie to a male doctor"

I kept having to remind my wife to not mention her PTSD, or at least don't lead with it! She has trouble going against authority but I swear I have seen doctors expressions visibly go from attentive to relaxed the moment it is mentioned. I'll leave out my fantasies about what I would like to do them, instead I just repeat exactly what she said but with a much more masculine voice and sometimes it helps. My face at the end of the visit was just a mr beast smile. Thank god we found proper healthcare professionals for her now...

I reckon you could do a post about this. It's fucked up how many times I've seen trans people get denied basic medical care because the doctor can't get past "the trans thing" and start speculating wildly that HRT might interact badly with fucking acetaminophen or something. It's fucked up and you have to be pretty wily to know to hold your cards sometimes.
