    I got a call back this morning from the Patient Advocate revolving around that mess from last week.

    CW: Transphobia/Talk about bottom surgery

    Original Post

    They called me this morning and told me that they themselves had no real power. They then told me that they would refer the case to the doctor’s supervisor at the clinic I went to for further review. Just a few minutes ago, I received a call from his supervisor. Surprisingly, it was also my general practitioner. He told me that it was unacceptable and told me that it was likely that he was using dictation software. However, considering the frequency and certain ordering of things in the document that it was unlikely it was on accident. He asked if I wanted a call back after he spoke to him tomorrow and I agreed. I’m hoping action is taken, but it’s unlikely.

    I honestly wish this whole thing would just go away now. I hate thinking about it. I hate everything about it and it’s poisoning the happiness I should be feeling right now for my bottom surgery next week. This document was going to be kept for a keepsake because it was the final hurdle to get to the surgery aside from just walking into the hospital.

    I feel like shit and just want to cry over it. I just wish there were more I could do. But I don’t think I have any protections in this state. I just wish it never happened already. Why do people have to be like this?
