So today I found myself in the hospital due to chest pain I've been having which was believed to have possibly been related to an increase in my E and Spiro. They conducted two EKG's, an X-Ray, CT Scan and blood work, all in the end showing negative results for any issues, which means, after I discuss the results with my endo, I should be allowed to resume HRT. Now to the story.
The nurse was questioning whether I was on any medications and I told her I was prescribed Estradiol and Spironolactone for Hormone Replacement Therapy, diagnosed with GID. My name on the paperwork and wristband clearly read my male name, which cannot be mistaken for a female name as it is definitely not unisex. Having practically told half the hospital that I am transgendered, I figured it was obvious I am, on the outside, male transitioning to female. Um, guess not.
Later on after I had been at the hospital for some time, the nurse entered my room and asked whether I still had any girly bits or whether they had all been removed. Not thinking of her exact words used, I replied "no", which in her mind I was answering the question of whether the girly bits had been removed. After hearing my response, she said, "Oh okay, so do you still have periods? When was your last menstrual cycle?" After pausing for a few seconds looking very confused, I replied with, "I wish I could answer that, but um, I'm actually transitioning
into a girl...so, never?" She had a very embarrassed look on her face and apologized. Just thought I would share as I found it a bit humorous
