medical transphobia 

a form asked for my "sex assigned at birth" and, fuck no. i have no faith that this information would be used responsibly, and they have no reason to have it. they didn't ask for a legal sex or anything.

you gonna try to file that with my insurance? and they deny it because the sex is wrong and it doesn't match the subpscriber? and it becomes my problem to solve?

you gonna assume i have bits i don't have?

there are few cases where anyone needs to know your AGAB

medical transphobia 

for reference, i've ignored the intent of this question every time it's come up. nothing bad has happened. this is just institutional transphobia with an air of medical authority.

anyway fuck the US healthcare system </3

@astra Yeah, stating your AGAB is pretty dangerous when you're trans, because you never know which medical professional or insurance company would be transphobic about it.

So yeah, no, they can fuck off.
