GP won’t change gender marker on my medical file
I recently went to the doctor and had to get a lab requisition for bloodwork and noticed my gender marker on said bloodwork was still marked as female even though I have legally changed my name and gender marker years ago and it is reflected on all my legal documents as male. I have been on T for 5 years and completely pass socially as male as well for context.
When my GP printed this out for me and I saw it I asked him if he could please change my gender marker in my file to male so when I give the requisition to the lab, there is no confusion and it also makes me dysphoric having to disclose that I’m trans when there really is no need to unless required (I would if I needed to).
My GP responded to me basically by saying that it has to stay marked as female for medical reasons as that’s how I was born.. is this an isolated situation? My GP has newly taken over in my doctor office maybe 3 years ago as my last doctor retired. He has never given me the best vibes as he’s a bit condescending and I’m wondering if I’m dealing with a situation that is normal across the board or if he is just choosing to keep my gender marker as that on my file for his own specific reasons? Any advice or insight is appreciated thank you.
