ha, I got the “born without a uterus” line from a nurse doing my intake before my vaginoplasty- one of the nurses was doing what I assume was a pregnancy test and I think the other nurse realized I might be trans, so she awkwardly asked me if I was born without a uterus, while giving the other nurse a kind of corrective, “hey, listen up” look. The other nurse did treat me differently after that, and seemed visibly disgusted when I affirmed- but I think it was the nurse’s look that keyed it as being trans, because I was in a hospital that sees a lot of trans patients they had a kind of code or way of handling that which I’m not seeing elsewhere.

So I’ve just started to use that- I was born without a uterus, it’s true and it doesn’t necessarily out me.

Müllerian agensis is another way a woman could be born without a uterus, but I don’t know what the most probable explanations for a missing uterus might be (1 in 4,000 - 5,000 is the frequency of Müllerian agenesis, a lot less than trans women which is more like 1 in 100 - 200).
