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 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.
