1. I was surprised that @JoTrust suggests some trans women who have had gender confirmation surgery have a cervix & need smears. @HealthWatchUK @RCObsGyn https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/07/13/jos-cervical-cancer-charity-trans-non-binary-smear-test-intersex-transphobia-gender-identity/=">https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/07/1...
2. Did I miss something in training? Pubmed brings up one article about the cytological findings of bowel & (penile) skin-lined neovaginas in patients with gender dysphoria & individuals with a congenital or acquired absence of a natural vagina. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28217933/ ">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28217933/...
3. This study of 20 samples over 15 yrs is not enough to support @JoTrust claim - for publicity? It& #39;s really wrong to mislead women, esp as so many don& #39;t understand/ can& #39;t name their own anatomy. Drs who prescribe hormones for transmen/ non binary can inform them about smears.
