Health care as a trans man
1. Have to figure out how to get reminder letters on an NHS system that defaults to removing them
2. Get a letter addressed Miss Benjamin
3. Attend the women's clinic for your tests
4. Get your blood tests returned from the lab incomplete as tech...
... doesn't understand why a testosterone screen is being done on someone with F marker... Multiple times
Have people refuse to believe you are who you say you are when trying to book an appointment in the phone
Have a doctor insist you do a pregnancy test even though you had your uterus removed because they don't believe you and can't just check your notes
Have an agency nurse replace your pots to piss in with bottles because they don't understand that you haven't got a penis
Generally the NHS is wonderful and for the most part staff helpful and doing their best, but to pretend the system is anywhere near inclusive is ridiculous.
But a transphobe is referred to as a person instead of a woman and omg the world is ending.
