[this-is-anti-masculinity]

Ive been having a medical problem that I have been putting off for a month and a half. Because anytime I tried getting around to it I would find myself increasingly frustrated with the American medical system. (I won't mention any medical stuff at all, this is my frustrations of a trans man trying to make a gynecological appointment for the first time)

Two days ago. I sat down to try and make the appointment. I called my local hospital, the only place here with an OBGYN department, I get told because I am trans, I have to go through the trans clinic. Thats fine I understand, I get transferred to the Trans clinic. I explain my issue to the trans clinic, they transfer me back to the OBGYN department because what I am dealing with, is WITHIN their department. A different person answers from the first time. I again, explain my issue. I get sent to the Contraceptive and Women's wellness department, they HANG UP ON ME.

I have to repeat, this, because I was getting transferred, I have no idea what happened and what numbers to call. After 2 frustrating hours, and several phone call transfers to different departments. I finally am able to schedule my appointment, WITH THE OBGYN DEPARTMENT. THE FIRST PLACE I CALLED.

They would instantly transfer me because I would bring up I am a trans man.

I am going to my appointment because I need to, but I am, apprehensive on how I am going to be treated.

I shouldn't have to deal with this, why must i experience so much frustrations to simply make a fucking doctors appointment.

This is androqueerphobia.

Men with vulvovaginal setups and/or mullerian ducts deserve to have easy access to healthcare. OBGYNs should become gender neutral ASAP. There shouldn't be this extreme othering occuring simply because you are a man.

If you're passionate about women's health/prison reform please read!

Hello! I'll keep this brief.

Currently, there is no requirement for women's prisons to employ OBGYNs. Incarcerated women are forced to go to doctors who aren't specialized in their care, and often women's health concerns are neglected.

The mortality rates of pregnant women in prison, and their infants, is alarmingly high. Bill H.R. 7733 aims to help this by:

Ensuring all prisoners have access to an OBGYN 

Ensuring checkups within two weeks of incarceration (which can prevent cancer, among other life-threatening conditions)

Requiring cancer screenings, menstrual healthcare and pain management, and treatment of gynecological conditions

Providing postpartum and prenatal care, including PPD screenings

Preventing prisoners from being denied care based on costs/staffing/transportation issues

Requiring a report on infant and mother deaths, which will shine more light on this issue

The full bill contains more details, it's not a long read at all: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/7733/text

Thank you so much for your support. This bill can absolutely save lives. Please consider contacting your representatives in support of this bill if this is something you deeply care about, or sign this petition: https://c.org/SjhQqJxPNG If you WANT to contact your representatives but don't know how, I'll be happy to help!

My back pain is coming back. I find myself not really wanting to eat still, even if I can feel my stomach rumbling. Honestly I just eat bread, butter, Coca Cola (for flavor and calories), and water these days. I thought initially it was just pain from constipation, but it didn’t get any better after BMs. It’s getting worse now, but maybe it’s from the laxative I took? It shouldn’t be effective for at least a few more hours though. Hairs still falling out too, even though I’ve been trying to increase my caloric intake.

I wonder if this is par for the course with endometriosis and adenomyosis or if I have cancer that no one’s caught yet because I’m “too young” to have reproductive cancers. I don’t bleed heavily, and actually my flow is getting lighter and shorter. The pain keeps increasing in intensity and duration though, and all the blood that comes out is black, smells bad, and is filled with clots. Sometimes the pain isn’t particularly bad, maybe a 5 or a 6 max, but the opioid doesn’t fix it. Neither do any over the counter things. Cancers run laps around my family, and I know one day I will be diagnosed with some form of cancer, but no medical personnel seems to care.

Maybe God has finally answered my prayers? I have no one I can ask about this. No one is sick like me. My best friend is studying medicine at Baylor, but she hasn’t gotten to the reproductive systems and their disorders and diseases yet, and isn’t really able to help much. I am alone.

I don’t really know what to do with any of this. My pain tolerance is just going up and up, and my symptoms just keep getting worse, but it feels like I’m not doing anything to treat it other than just loading on pain meds and heating pads and praying. I feel confused and tired of people basically just saying “well this sucks but it’s not malignant so you’re just gonna have to live like that.” I’m trying to get into a specialist surgeon to finally see someone who might help me, but just making the appointment is forcing me to jump through hoops.

I don’t even care if removing my uterus puts me in a weird place with the church anymore either. I’ve honestly never wanted children and have felt horrified at the idea of tending to kids for decades of my life, on top of my own health problems.

I don’t know. I wish there was someone I could talk to and ask about this.

I might have endometriosis :(

I had a checkup with my OBGYN yesterday and she asked a bunch of tests + ultrasounds to try and diagnose endometriosis, which she suspects I have because of the symptoms I described. That's just *great*. I already have polycystic ovaries, which is *so fun*, and now there maybe is something ELSE wrong with me? Wow. Just wow. I fucking hate it here. I wish I was born a lizard or something. Plus I always faint when I have blood tests done. I hate this i HATE THIS

It's kinda insane that in the past 5 years I've had to see 5 different gynecologists because of the aftereffects of roe v wade... The gynecologists keep retiring or moving to a more friendly state while the ones that remain have bad bedside manners... I'm so exhausted I just want my healthcare...
