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 😅

    While its true that there can be implications for the efficacy and side effects of medication if you’re doing hrt. You can also check for those interactions before you get your prescription or ask someone who you know to be safe. It’s going to potentially be safer than being denied care all together. a lot of places are extremely transphobic if not in policy then in the personal prejudice of people generally.

      could you kindly share some examples? How would this differ from just … being your gender, i.e. the way estrogen works in the body will impacy how medications are metabolized, but the end result is that the medication works similarly as in cis female bodies … is this what you mean?

      I don’t know of any interactions with HRT generally and would like to learn…
