I hate when people complain about “oh health forms are stupid they want my biological sex instead of my gender!!!!” or “they only have male or female!!!”
There’s a reason for that, you dumb fucks, and they’re referring to biological sex
Different health risks are present in different sexes, and whatever gender is in your head does not change the fact that if you were born female, you have a higher risk for certain cancers and osteoporosis, and if you were born male you have a higher risk for heart disease and often a shorter lifespan than a female.
In other words, your biological sex is an important factor in health and health insurance, and your special snowflake status doesn’t change that.
No. There gets a point where nice doesn’t work. There’s too many stupid ass angsty teens on here that are gonna get themselves seriously hurt or sick because they wanna be a special fucking snowflake. Lemme tell you a thing. Doctors don’t give a flying fuck what you identify as. All they want to know is do you have two X chromosomes or an XY? Because cancer and lupus and certain medicines don’t give a flying fuck what pronouns you use. This is about your fucking LIFE. stop being angsty for TWELVE SECONDS because when you’re in an ambulance or going into cardiac arrest or whatever the situation may be, it’s ESSENTIAL that you get your head out of your ass long enough to tell them your BIOLOGICAL SEX that you were BORN WITH. It literally may save your life.
hi im one of those doctor types you idiots keep using as an excuse to yell at trans people
every single thing you’ve said is incorrect, and you do not know what you are talking about
I may need to know what organs a patient does or does not have, their hormonal status and history of exposure, and even their karyotype. Ideas like “biological sex” can often imply a lot of this. In medicine, that isn’t good enough. We have to be able to catch exceptions, side-effects, sequelae, and anomalies that might affect only one in a million patients. Exceptions to any one or more elements of the “biological sex” paradigm are much, much, much, much more common than that.
You genuinely do not know a patient’s chromosomes until you’ve run an expensive test, and even then, who knows! they could be a mosaic. Whether this information is important, and when, and why, depends. It all completely depends. A gender/sex/whatever marker on a form is not and never will be important. No matter how you cut it, is and always will be a miniscule source of information. Frankly, by disclosing a trans background on this form, the OP has made it more diagnostically useful to a clinician than that form has ever been before - we trans people are statistically very uncommon and tend to encounter distinct hardships and challenges that are highly relevant to our medical needs. Even then, it would still be no substitute for actually interviewing the patient.
So that’s the other thing you House addicts don’t have a clue about. Good doctors do “give a flying fuck” about how the patient identifies, because a patient’s background is absolutely key to their health. Knowing a patient’s basic demographics can help me think about what may be more or less likely in terms of their care needs.
More importantly, it helps me treat my patient with respect. This is both the decent thing to do and an absolute minimum requirement for being able to get anything done. You sneering choads couldn’t cure a side of beef.
also lmao @ people thinking that questions on health insurance forms are for the benefit of doctors. those are questions that are being given to the health insurance provider in order to determine how much you have to pay them, and for how much they’re willing to cover you.
that’s why the next question is “what is the highest level of education you’ve completed,” a question i’ve never had a doctor ask or heard of a doctor asking. health insurance companies build profiles of demographic groups and extrapolate off of that how much they’ll pay if you’re in the hospital. it doesn’t have to do with your health necessarily. it’s how much of a risk you are.
so “male or female” isn’t just an attempt to figure out whether or not yr at more risk for certain diseases or others (which, like doctor person above said, isn’t really a great way to determine that) — its a categorization that allows companies to make assumptions about you based not at all around anything even approaching this r limited view of “biological sex” but on assumptions & stereotypes we have about gender. like how girls can a lot of times get lower car insurance rates than guys. its that. are you a boy? well u r probably going to take more risks. r u a girl? well ur probably gonna have babies and we’ll have to insure the dang babies.
so op refusing to answer that either/or question means that they’re resisting easy categorization and stereotyping —- to me it looks like they’re saying, look, you don’t get to make assumptions about the sort of care i’ll need or the risks i’ll take or my future life decisions based on whether or not i choose one of these or the other.
liKE!!!! health insurance agencies, their primary goal is not collecting Life Saving Data. or their secondary goal. or their tertiary goal. besides all the other bullshit assumptions re: healthcare that go into the idea that this person is somehow ~endangering their life~ by not giving an answer, there’s the fact that to the best of my knowledge, the only place where the medical professionals treating you and the people giving you health insurance meet is in the billing department.
get me off this ship where are we going i dont want to be here i dont even have tickets!!!!

no but the best part is how he got the name:
his name was originally “potatoes,” and his owner, willoughby bertie, told the stable lad who helped him to write the horse’s name on a feed bin. the boy misheard it as, literally “pot-eight-o’s” and wrote it with 8 o’s. bertie found it so funny that he kept that as the horses name.
