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 😅

    Edit: Besides, it’s nuanced. Disclose if necessary. Don’t disclose otherwise. It can cause us a lot of harm as others have gone into detail on to always disclose that we are trans. You don’t know what you are talking about.

    Edit: What I have to do in one of those countries you blindly assume is a-okay with trans people is I have to specifically look for doctors and medical professionals that are known for not mistreating queer or trans people. This is stuff we talk about and share with each other all the time. I’m not an isolated case.

      absolutely, I have to find everything through the trans community - what dentist to see, my hairdresser, etc. Doctors are some of the most important to be vetted by the trans community first.
