    Had the greatest thing happen to me today. So I had to get a procedure done by one of my surgeons today. Had to get there early this morning. So it took a while to get called back to get ready but I had an extremely affirming thing happen to me once I got back. The second I got back, I got asked if i had given a urine sample yet. I answered no and asked why. The following conversation took place.

    Nurse: It is a urine sample for a pregnancy test.

    Me: Oh. That’s fair. I’m definitely not pregnant though.

    Nurse: We have to do this. All women must take a pregnancy test just in case. (I assume it was for anesthesia or something)

    Me: I promise you. I can’t get pregnant. It is not possible.

    Nurse : *visibly confused*

    Me: I don’t have a uterus, so I can’t

    Nurse: I see. When did you have it removed?

    Me: I never had one. I’m trans.

    At this point you can see the light bulb flicker on and she stammers a little. I told her not to worry cause it kinda made my day. I then proceeded to not be asked again, lol. Sometimes it’s the little things that happen that make one feel great. I never knew I passed so well, but when you have a nurse insisting on a pregnancy test, well yeah, ya pass ya dingus. Lmao.

      I got sent a cervical cancer screening letter after I changed my gender marker. It made me laugh too!
