Particularly when discussing medicine tracking the treatment outcomes for FEMALE ppl is important bc we are dealing w/ an industry that has an exaggerated track record of doing crazy crap to female ppl.

And yes, female ppl who do not identify as women are still routinely harmed by outdated, un-researched, and coercive healthcare. Your identity is important AND the shit healthcare you’re getting is about extremely low standards for what female ppl deserve over the past 150 yrs.

Discussing healthcare is a context in which using “female” and “male” is KEY, not in any way hateful, and demanding we NOT analyze medical realities through the lens of sex is actually hateful AF.

If you’re in the maternity ward and getting called the wrong pronoun that is BULLSHIT and let’s help you sue those fucks. But if you’re trying to cancel an author for wanting the word “women” mentioned in materials on obstetric violence you are also on a weird, women-hating trip.

Wait? How are those 2 things different? If you should be able to sue a hospital for wrong pronouns then suing so medical literature reflects your world view is also valid. No?

Look, labor is an occasion where people need to be as relaxed as possible. Just like I’m gonna be pushy as shit about low lighting, excessive conversation or being touched without being asked, med professionals can use the pronouns people want. It’s not tracking data.

Med pros need to focus on medical issues, treatment & outcomes - that’s no.1 priority & takes precedence over EVERYTHING else. I’ve been using pronouns my whole life so it’s automatic - if I now have to think about pronouns its a distraction from the medicine

When working a full-case load, I’m sorry to say, many of us don’t even remember your name & have to recheck your charts to remind us. We do, however, remember everything about your condition, treatment, meds etc & that’s what you want us to do b/c that’s why we’re there

With a full hospital load we’ve new people coming & going every single day, new conditions, new complications & complexities we need to understand, remember & track - I don’t have or want to use my brain power & space for things that distract from or may compromise the medicine

Blocked because I, as a doctor, prioritise medicine and healthcare outcomes over pronouns. This insanity is so far beyond the beyondpic.twitter.com/1wYvxI9ogJ

I had a totally “natural” (zero drugs) birth with a long pushing phase. My nurse midwife was calm & supportive, & would have honored any request I had, but when things got rough her sole focus was making sure I and my daughter made it out alive.
