I went to the hospital last night, had an accident, bad fall onto some cinder blocks, fell on my left side, thought I damaged something real bad, thankfully no broken ribs or organ damage, maybe some small fractures, doc couldn't really tell. But anyway, they kept asking me if I was pregnant, or when was your last period, this has been the case every time I've gone to the emergency room for the past decade, last times was for vertigo, and then a kidney stone the following week, before that various other things, such as lung problems. My mom, even after we told them that I'm a transsexual, had to come out and explain more bluntly that its impossible for me to get pregnant, that I don't have female parts, that I'm a man (physically), just living as a woman. I know even still they didn't quite get it, I suppose I can understand to some extend with the people around here, even nurses and doctors, in this small town, but last time I was asked was a hospital in northern Virginia, in the middle of the city, and unlike where I live now, you'd think that there in the city that they have had some encounters with other transgender patients and at least know a little something. But hey, whatever, I'm fine with that, I'm recognized as a woman.
