Choosing who you are

[Jello]

And female hormones reduce the size of the prostate over time. Prostate cancer in trans women is extremely rare as a result. It is not as simple as just putting male or female on a medical form. For example, the NHS do not put trans women on progesterone and this can cause problems that cisgendered people do not have. Trans people can need care specific to being trans, but for the most part their bodies should be treated as the same as their lived gender.

I agree on that. What i'm trying to say is that you have to list that you're trans, at the very least, so that way your doctors can handle any issues that present themselves, correctly. Again, boy do i wish we had this magical switch so that people could be whoever they want, because i'm sure thousands upon thousands of people would be far happier. 

For the most part, so it sounds like maybe doctors need their gender history to safely treat them, for the whole part. Here, a doctor would have your complete medical history anyway.

I've been through 6 different doctors in my life so far, and i'm not even 20, and at least 3 of them have clearly not read my medical history in the slightest.
