Cis people on Reddit be like, "a trans woman would never need a gynaecologist, and they'd never ask if you might be pregnant because they could tell, and anyway, it will be in your notes, which they will have read".
And I'm like, "literally everything you just said is wrong"

@goatsarah who are these weirdos who think medics read the damned notes. None of them know how healthcare works in reality.

@goatsarah it’s when the nurse says “ well, it’s better to just have the pregnancy test, just to be sure” that you know they are not really listening to what you’re saying

@rachel I. Have. No. Reproductive. Organs.
"Well you never can be too careful"

@goatsarah yes but how regular are your periods?

I'm super super lucky with my GP. She seems to have an eidetic memory or something; she will say things like "I wouldn't normally recommend X but given your history of Y and that you're taking Z, I think it's appropriate".
(this is not calling you a liar; I've had waaaay too much healthcare in my life, and the majority are definitely the sort you describe. And I guess GPs are a different kind of thing in terms of having a long-term relationship with their patients.)
