I’ve been saying, “I was born without a uterus”, which so far seems to answer honestly without directly outing myself as trans.
Any thoughts on how to best navigate this? Ideally without disclosing I’m trans 😅

Yeah. The best way to lower risk of prostate cancer is to lower testosterone levels. And the best way to stop it growing if you do develop it, is to lower testosterone levels, and add estrogen. And they rarely, if ever choose surgical intervention when it comes to prostate cancer. So, despite being at the age where a cis man would have to start thinking about this, it’s not something I plan on investigating, given that I’ve got a reduced risk profile, and I’m already on the same medication they use as treatment…
right!? I find it so strange they are treating my prostate like it’s in a cis man’s body … one guess is maybe the time before transition adds risk because there was exposure to male levels of androgens? But then … I’m already on the treatment for prostate cancer … something just doesn’t make sense here and it feels like blind policy being implemented on the assumption that I’m “male”, exactly the kind of mistaken view I don’t want to perpetuate by disclosing I’m trans.
