Okay but do you have to tell your doctor abt your gender identity, if you're biologically a male, that's what they care about
-
There's no such thing as "biologically male." But ICD codes are dependent on gender so their office needs to know your insurance co gender
-
Male, female, intersex. Those are the biological sexes. Sex is not gender identity
-
Sex is determined by 5 features and not all deviations are intersex conditions.
-
Those things are also broadly meaningless for most medical practice.

So is agender?

Okay so you don't have to file for a passport when you go to the doctor, so if you really think they'll deny your rights, just don't tell

"hey doc, I want estrogen" "why?" ok now what the fuck you supposed to say?

"Ok imma find another doctor"
