There's absolutely reasons for pap smears. They're for detecting cancer, which has nothing to do with having sex with men.

I thought the cancer was caused by hpv, though. No hpv risk, cancer risk must decline sharply.

Nope, it *can* be caused by it, but that's far from the sole cause. And my dear friend, you can get HPV without sleeping with men. Just FYI.

So, my dear friend, what I said was correct. Nothing applies to me but Pap smears and it would be helpful to have a doctor who could talk about my specific cancer risks, which are reduced if not zero from not having sex with men.

I agree that doctors everywhere need to have better education on trans health. It's starting to happen slowly. I used to do trans health education work with med students/nurses/etc and they're definitely getting more info these days. but there's still a lot of improvement needed.

But your initial remark that trans men and AFAB NB folks don't have similar needs to cis women is pretty off the mark. Many of them do.

Some of them may

How many, and for how long? Your experience of having periods to the contrary, it’s rare.
