Just had to ring the hospital & request a vaginal scan, rather than a pelvic one, because my GP uses an outdated system where you can& #39;t book men for vaginal scans, or women for prostate scans etc! Love having to out myself continually to strangers over the phone to get treatment!

My GP: I& #39;ve tried writing it in the notes. I& #39;m sorry idk what more I can do for you.

Me: Ok... But i like need this scan for my health?

GP: *shrugs* I don& #39;t have time to chase this.

Me: .... I guess I& #39;ll just ring the hospital myself then? And try to get them to change it?

The Hospital: Sorry but your GP booked the wrong thing.

Me: Yeah cos of their system.

Hospital: Well we don& #39;t have an issue with that on our system. We can book men for vaginal scans.

Me: ...Okay but my GP can& #39;t so is someone gonna give me this scan or?????

Imagine if I was a trans man who was super dysphoric about this stuff and just decided to never get checked... The system is failing us in so many ways - not just in hormones or surgery, but the basics of preventative general healthcare.
