Work - Medical provider -- LGBT 

So my left hip continues to be a bitch, and today it hurt badly enough it took me 30 minutes to get out of bed. Work is an ass and requires a doctor's note.

So I go to a walk in clinic hoping it'll be cheaper than urgent care. Everett clinic. One of the first questions asked is "Transgender male to female?" another is "So what organs do you have? uterus , cervix?" another is "any hormonally or surgically enhanced organs"

again this is for HIP PAIN. What the fuck.

@Doephin At the third question I just got pissed and refused to answer. This is ridiculous. Still waiting on the doc, hopefully they won't be worse.

@Doephin For the record the doctor was mostly fine, a bit bemused when I told her I wouldn't be accepting any referrals that worked in the same facility due to aforementioned questions.

But! it gets better because work has now decided the note she gave me wasn't specific enough.

Oh by the way I had a performance review a week ago where they couldn't find anything wrong to say AND I had more success than the rest of my division combined...times 10

@Doephin Uuuuuugh D:

That sucks, I'm so sorry, hon.
