Reports of Negative Interactions with Healthcare Providers among Transgender, Nonbinary, and Gender-Expansive People assigned Female at Birth in the United States: Results from an Online Survey

I believe it, my partner has experienced this first hand many times and it's why I now go with them to doctors to help advocate. It's incredibly frustrating that we have to do that to get doctors to listen, but apparently doctors are more prone to listen to me even though it's happening to their body.

Partner: "This is really hurting"

Dr: "that's normal for your age"

Me: "no, it's gotten really bad they need a lot of help from me to do things they normally wouldn't need help with"

Dr: "I see, let's look into that"

You fuckin what??
