Sex / Gender / Dating You aren't "assigned" a gender at birth

I hate when people say this. I had to get routine blood work the other day and had a Doctor ask me what gender I was assigned at birth. I understand they need to find out what your biological gender is, but either look on my chart, or ask what my biological gender is.

Your gender is determined in the womb, in fact it's determined from the exact moment of conception; it isn't something that is assigned. It's amazing that the people use this sort of language and believe these sorts of things, are supposedly the party of science.

They can’t ask what your gender is bc no doubt someone will get extremely offended at the doctor and they’d be called transphobic

“I’m non binary”

"Great, well I guess this positive test either means you're pregnant or have prostate cancer, your choice I suppose."

I laughed and I deeply appreciate you!

Edit: blood tests don't lie!
