The best question a doctor ever asked me was, "do you have sex with men, women, or a little of both?" I hadn't come out yet, but that question let me know it was safe to do so. And then we didn't waste time with discussions about pregnancy tests and condom use with men. My care was tailored to ME. You would not believe how many doctors discriminate against LGBTQ people, and if you live in an area where you don't have a lot of choice in who your doctor is, it can be scary and dangerous to come out to a doctor.
@@thewriter2634 You know it's not an "argument" right. These reasons are only given because close minded people force lgbtq+ people to legitimize their existence. Guess what, their existence is valid no matter what and not something to be argued about or to be justified.
It's sad that it's rare. My sister is married to a woman and it happened several times that doctors asked her if she was sexually active (she said yes,) ask her what birth control method she was using (none) and if she actually want to conceive right now (no at the time - her wife is currently pregnant though) and then was lectured for it!
Step 1: Be 5'10'' or 5'11'' tall Step 2: Say you're 6 foot tall. Step 3: Repeat until you believe it yourself and get it printed in your passport/visa.
My dad is 6'4", his uncle told him, and he's always stressed to me "stand tall, don't be ashamed of your height". A confident person is attractive no matter your height!
I remember how stressed I was to come out to my doctor. I was worrying about the appointment for days. Turns out he's more supportive than my parents which is nice.

I accidentally came out as trans to my doc. She's helped me with getting blood draws, called me by my name, her nurses have helped me with my shots... I really appreciate her.
@Hazy trans: likely referring to transgender: “denoting or relating to a person whose sense of personal identity and gender does not correspond with their birth sex.” (Copied off safari)
Telling your doc you're asexual is usually a fun trip through a physical investigation of what's wrong with you to blood tests to find out why you don't want to bone people to a Very Serious conversation about how you need to see a therapist because sex is vital to a healthy life. Just... love it so much.
this is exactly why I'm afraid to tell my docter that I'm ace :/ i haven't had them ask me anything related to that so far though.... but I'm turning 18 next year so they may bring it up. I don't know what I'll say.
@@warriorcatkitty You're in a good place in a sense, because you know you're ace and that there's nothing wrong with you (I didn't have this knowledge back in the day, because no one knew what an asexual was.) It sucks to get pathologized--it's embarassing and uncomfortable and it takes up time you could be using to address your actual medical concerns--but you'll ultimately be okay. Just tell your doc and see how they react. The worst case is that you'll find out your doctor isn't the right fit for you. Best case is they'll be great about it. Probably they'll be somewhere between. ♥ Hang in there.
Refuse the tests. Don't let ANYONE discriminate you. Granted, the first time I heard about asexuality, I was confused too. It was as if someone had told me they don't like food. No sweets, okay. Dislike spicy foods, sure. But... generally don't enjoy eating? However, sex is NOT vital, so your doctor has no right to "investigate" unless you explicitly ask them to do so. I have long since come to realize that asexuality is just as natural, though maybe not as common a variation as homo- and bisexuality. Just tell your doc to pretty please educate themselves first and then start taking care of what parts of your health may be of real concern.
I know it's a joke but asking a doctor like a random one can tell you the problem and when he says go to your doctor he means the doctor who treats you since he dosen't have an appointment to you
I feel like coming out to your doctor and talking about with them can also help anyone struggling to tell friends or family that they think are homophobic. sometimes they just need to tell someone cause the feeling builds up

I'm glad that you're so open and fine with patients being a part of the LGBTQ+ community. It's so nerve-racking and scary coming out to people, and you always have to make sure that it's safe to come out, so when someone's supportive it's really heartwarming and a lot more comfortable being around them.

@@nstorm2415 Panromantic is a romantic orientation: the ability to feel romantic attraction to people regardless of gender. And asexual in my opinion, the definition is lack of sexual attraction.
I was 13, came out by writing my mom a letter telling her because i didn't want to say it out koud but was ready to come out. Wrote a letter and handed it to her. I'm now 28. Came out young but it was worth it. This was back in 2007 too. Long time. But it was worth it. If you want to come out or you're ready to, do it at your own pace and how you choose.
@@keith2o9 in all fairness, I think he said enough on the subject. There's really not much more he could have said about coming out to your doctor and why it could be very important.
From what I can tell there is no direct evidence to support it. It's just a guess based on the secretion of a hormone during sleep. Might well be that if you sleep less you get just as tall, but more slowly.

I wish every doctor was as cool as you, I'd feel totally comfortable coming out to you. It's truly shocking how many people nowadays, including some doctors, still judge people's sexuality or gender.

@@thatwaterriver3824Patient privacy law, prevents medical providers and therapists from disclosing your information to anyone you didn't consent giving it to
@@thatwaterriver3824It is when doctors or anyone in the medical profession can not tell anything about a patient to anyone one else. But I think if a patient is suicidal I think they would need to tell or they give permission to tell others.
My doctor didn't even ask me if I was having sex, she just started listing things that needed to happen if I was sexually active and waited for me to contradict her, which I didn't because I was waiting for a question, so she just gave me a look and ordered some tests
I remember the first time a doctor asked me about my sexuality. I told them I am bi, and I automatically got a super judgy conversation about how they weren’t sure if I was being honest about only having one partner. “We’ve just seen so much crazy stuff with bisexuals.” Then they made me pay $400 for “mandatory STD screening”. When I asked why, they said it was company policy for bisexual people (or basically anyone who wasn’t straight). Of course, this wasn’t disclosed before my exam with a doctor who was way too rapey to be working with people with vaginas. Since then, I’ve made sure to screen my medical team members before I even set up the first appointment.
@@antonluvs I do, and he’s amazing! He was even willing to let me interview him before the first appointment, and has been very respectful about every part of my identity.

Doctor Mike I came out to my Primary Care as genderqueer/nonbinary and asked for a breast reduction. He’s been incredibly supportive and referred me to a local and well respected plastic surgeon. 😊
@@sandyg4646 Please consider that cis people (not trans) also request and are given breast reductions, without seeing a doctor for an incredibly long time (as many people imply that trans individuals need to). If someone wants a change to their body because it's causing pain or discomfort, I do not particularily see the reason its so bad.
@@ev_rlasting There is a thing called Body integrity disorder in which a person can have a strange fixation on wanting a missing limb. Should we then just cut of their arm and leg to alleviate their discomfort? There is a difference between reducing someone breast / cutting them off due to a physical medical problem, - such as tumours, or spinal cord issues - vs cutting them off due to a mental condition that was likely not extensively explored OR could very well debilitate over time. I read a story of someone who knew a 16 year old girl who was convinced she was trans. She was approved for a mastectomy after 1-2 visits to the doctor. Weeks after her breasts were removed, she came back to said clinic begging for her breasts back as she realized she wasn't trans. And you REALLY think approving a surgery to take away breast tissue for a mental condition not properly explored is ethical?
@@sandyg4646 I didn't say that at all, I would appreciate if you didn't put words in my mouth. Cosmetic breast reductions exist and are accepted in society. Gender criticals only take issue when it involves trans people having autonomy over their own bodies. For the record your argument's logic implies you don't believe any cosmetic surgery or permanent cosmetic treatment should exist, along with tattoos and other body mods. You could argue all are caused by body dysmorphia, other self image issues or self harm. But nobody argued that. Because our autonomy is only questioned when we are trans. Additionally, if you don't have a doctorate yourself (or even if you do- you've never MET this person) I'm confused as to why you immediately assume to "know better" about a patient than their own doctor
@@ev_rlasting "I didn't say that at all, I would appreciate if you didn't put words in my mouth." I didn't say you did. I said it to illustrate a point. As to the rest of your comment: First of all if you're referring to the cutting off of breasts as "cosmetic" , you're only further invalidating it as a medical need. Nice going. Second, in no way did my comment argue against tattoos or any cosmetic alteration. What I argued against is the practice of mutilating someone's body after they've had only ONE visit to the doctor and no extensive history of therapeutic counseling to support that getting a breast reduction or mastectomy is the best course of action for that individual. Same as you wouldn't cut off a person's arm just cause they asked for it, you don't cut off a person's breasts just cus they asked for it. " I'm confused as to why you immediately assume to "know better" about a patient than their own doctor" It doesn't take a being a doctor to know what is ethical and what isn't. The practice of cutting off breasts or doing bottom surgery on someone who had only ONE or TWO visits to the doctor about their GD, is WHOLY unethical.

As a gay man (in a rural area), I've found it can be a challenge to navigate healthcare providers. Years ago I had a doctor ask if I was married. I told him no (marriage equality wasn't law yet), and he told me I should consider it because married men live longer, healthier lives. I think I blinked hard a couple of times before responding, "well, as soon as it's legal for me to marry my boyfriend of ten years, I'll fill that prescription." Then he blinked hard a few times and asked me when I had my last HIV test. He started by making an assumption about my sexual orientation and then he made an assumption about my sex life. I never went back.
@steven milstead He was offended because when he told the doctor that he was gay his first reaction was that he certainly have a dangerous sexual life. Its wrong and a mindset from the past.
@steven milstead They do it like heterosexual guys And the fact that the doc automatiquely think that he's gay he's having unprotected sex he's homophobic.
@steven milstead Imagine being offended because someone told you that he's offended... Not everything is "phobic" or "ism" if you're not stupid. If the first thing you say to someone who told you is gay is "I think you have a dangerous sexuality" its homophobic. He didn't even explain to him why he think that or else..
I had a therapist, in my first session, ask if the problems I was having with my boyfriend because I'm bisexual- I think he assumed that I was secretly gay. But no, I've never had problems with my sexuality.

Hey, speaking about the expiration date on food (I have a degree on food science), as long as the food smells, tastes, and looks good, you can have it. Expiration dates are for guaranteeing nutrient content and that they probably won’t spoil before that date. But if after that date, it’s still good, then you can surely have it and it won’t represent any greater risk for your health than it did before the exp. date. :)
I came out to my doctor as trans because my family hasn't been great (been 8 years since I came out to them and they haven't come around despite years of several different medical professionals' diagnoses of me having gender dysphoria and validating my lived experience). She said "Yeah, I had an inkling" and asked me what name and pronouns I preferred to go by, as well as told me it would only take a minute after the checkup if I wanted to change my name and recognized gender (separate from where they need to indicate sex, like an additional thing). She was so great about it that I think I might go back to her when I plan to start HRT and surgery.
that's really awesome! and same i have evidence of having gender dysphoria but my family still doesn't believe me or is accepting and i get abused for being trans. i hope it all works out for you though, that's super exciting!

My pediatrician years ago: "So, do you like men, women, or both?" Very good question. At that point in my life, it was difficult to tell, so I just said, "I don't know." She nodded, and I told her that I was not sexually active. She explained why she was asking me and what I might want to look out for and that was that. It was really comforting.

Unfortunately I’m in a different city, and he doesn’t have many resources where he can refer in my city.

I'm polyamorous and I got so many jugment out of that from healthcare professionnal. Everyone consents, everyone stays protected, what more do you want?
They want "nOrMaLcY" Seriously: the amount of Doctors I have met who believe it is their job to make their patients normal (physically and behaviourally) is soulcrushing. Most don't care about your personal needs, what is right for you and that you (and your partners) aren't harming anyone. It's what kept me from going into psychology, because I didn't want to be beholden to a bunch of old farts who think psychology is about "fixing" everything that is unusual about a person.
@@amandaforrester7636 No pressure Luv, but would you be willing to say more on what happened to you? I've never heard anything like that before about the poly community, and I'm interested.
@Rexxy Actually that’s completely wrong, as a medical student myself, doctors are not interested in normalcy, we’re interested in maintaining optimal health for our patients. The question of your personal needs is irrelevant because in medicine it’s not like retail work, that patient is not always right, in fact most times they’re wrong hence the reason why we’re the doctors and your not. Also psychology is literally a discipline that investigates the human psyche and simultaneously plays a role in treating disorders of the mind. The amount of irrationality in this comment on staggering. Also to yourself and the original comment, I feel you should do some actual reading into polyamory, because if you did you would realise that from an evolutionary biological standpoint, polyamory is an inherently unstable form of relationships, so much to the point that in every biological system they exist in, all of those systems have incredibly high levels of ultra violence which all stems from these types relationships, and there’s plenty of biological literature on this topic for you to see for yourself. There’s a reason why natural selection favoured monogamous relationship types because the are completely compatible and suitable in evolutionary terms. It’s the primary reason why polyamory feels unnatural and wrong, because it’s not beneficial to society. It’s just a silly trend today from people simply afraid of committment
@@sophiarobbins7602 Neither of your statements are true. Many doctors do take it upon themselves to make their patients "normal" even if you haven't seen it that doesn't make it untrue. Your other statement is just so wrong evolution clearly supports polyamory in most animal species(or at least mammals) because it has the highest chance of success in yielding offspring and furthering the species. If you don't believe me just look up "What percentage of animals are polyamorous" or something similar and I'm sure you'll get results. Edit: Spelling

If they actually had any intentions of helping transgender people in making them feel more comfortable in their body they would set up and provide them a reliable and safe system that protects their rights and make them feel welcomed, they wouldn’t bring back conversion therapy, which in history as many people know has destroyed and broke many innocent lives. Also idk why you put trans and non binary people in quotations, ngl you give off transphobic vibes.

I’m 23 and have many health conditions so I have seen MANY doctors throughout the past 10+ years. The first time I was asked about my sexual preference was a year ago by my OBGYN. She still remains the only doctor I’ve ever had to ask.
Thats because obgyns need to know if you're sexually active. For women who are, tests like pap smears are a yearly must because they can spot precancers and cervical cancers early. They also treat stds so it their job to know your sexual history.
The best question a doctor ever asked me was, "do you have sex with men, women, or a little of both?" I hadn't come out yet, but that question let me know it was safe to do so. And then we didn't waste time with discussions about pregnancy tests and condom use with men. My care was tailored to ME. You would not believe how many doctors discriminate against LGBTQ people, and if you live in an area where you don't have a lot of choice in who your doctor is, it can be scary and dangerous to come out to a doctor.
The fact that this is such a rare case is saddening🥺
And then there’s the people who never had sex or only had sex with one person but is still gay/bi
@@thewriter2634 You know it's not an "argument" right. These reasons are only given because close minded people force lgbtq+ people to legitimize their existence. Guess what, their existence is valid no matter what and not something to be argued about or to be justified.
@@astridonghena9860 *Are these other things I listed legitimized too? Because these meet the same standards.*
It's sad that it's rare. My sister is married to a woman and it happened several times that doctors asked her if she was sexually active (she said yes,) ask her what birth control method she was using (none) and if she actually want to conceive right now (no at the time - her wife is currently pregnant though) and then was lectured for it!
Step 1: Be 5'10'' or 5'11'' tall
Step 2: Say you're 6 foot tall.

Telling your doc you're asexual is usually a fun trip through a physical investigation of what's wrong with you to blood tests to find out why you don't want to bone people to a Very Serious conversation about how you need to see a therapist because sex is vital to a healthy life. Just... love it so much.
I had a very similar experience, my doctor also told me “you’ll grow out of it”….
Oh my god that sounds awful
Like why can’t people just accept it’s a real thing
this is exactly why I'm afraid to tell my docter that I'm ace :/
i haven't had them ask me anything related to that so far though.... but I'm turning 18 next year so they may bring it up. I don't know what I'll say.
@@warriorcatkitty You're in a good place in a sense, because you know you're ace and that there's nothing wrong with you (I didn't have this knowledge back in the day, because no one knew what an asexual was.) It sucks to get pathologized--it's embarassing and uncomfortable and it takes up time you could be using to address your actual medical concerns--but you'll ultimately be okay. Just tell your doc and see how they react. The worst case is that you'll find out your doctor isn't the right fit for you. Best case is they'll be great about it. Probably they'll be somewhere between. ♥ Hang in there.
Refuse the tests. Don't let ANYONE discriminate you. Granted, the first time I heard about asexuality, I was confused too. It was as if someone had told me they don't like food. No sweets, okay. Dislike spicy foods, sure. But... generally don't enjoy eating? However, sex is NOT vital, so your doctor has no right to "investigate" unless you explicitly ask them to do so. I have long since come to realize that asexuality is just as natural, though maybe not as common a variation as homo- and bisexuality. Just tell your doc to pretty please educate themselves first and then start taking care of what parts of your health may be of real concern.

From what I can tell there is no direct evidence to support it. It's just a guess based on the secretion of a hormone during sleep. Might well be that if you sleep less you get just as tall, but more slowly.

I wish every doctor was as cool as you, I'd feel totally comfortable coming out to you. It's truly shocking how many people nowadays, including some doctors, still judge people's sexuality or gender.
I've always heard that it's called "Chicken pox" because it looks like a chicken pecked at you thus pocking(pitting) your skin. This explanation may or may not be accurate but it sounds plausible.
I heard it was because when you pluck a chicken's feathers, it raises the skin, thus looking like pox.
in THE NETHERLANDS we actually say chicken skin, because of that (instead of goose bumps) :)
I heard it was because of chicken feather bumps
I heard that it might have originally been called “itching pox,” which later morphed into “chicken” pox just because language is weird.

@@harshpeter You would just say "no"...
I remember the first time a doctor asked me about my sexuality. I told them I am bi, and I automatically got a super judgy conversation about how they weren’t sure if I was being honest about only having one partner. “We’ve just seen so much crazy stuff with bisexuals.” Then they made me pay $400 for “mandatory STD screening”. When I asked why, they said it was company policy for bisexual people (or basically anyone who wasn’t straight). Of course, this wasn’t disclosed before my exam with a doctor who was way too rapey to be working with people with vaginas. Since then, I’ve made sure to screen my medical team members before I even set up the first appointment.
Oh, my God. That's horrible. I hope you have a different doctor now. NO doctor should ever treat a patient that way.

Doctor Mike I came out to my Primary Care as genderqueer/nonbinary and asked for a breast reduction. He’s been incredibly supportive and referred me to a local and well respected plastic surgeon. 😊
wait....a breast reduction? he gave you a recommendation for a breast reduction after how many visits?
@@sandyg4646 Please consider that cis people (not trans) also request and are given breast reductions, without seeing a doctor for an incredibly long time (as many people imply that trans individuals need to). If someone wants a change to their body because it's causing pain or discomfort, I do not particularily see the reason its so bad.
@@ev_rlasting There is a thing called Body integrity disorder in which a person can have a strange fixation on wanting a missing limb. Should we then just cut of their arm and leg to alleviate their discomfort?
There is a difference between reducing someone breast / cutting them off due to a physical medical problem, - such as tumours, or spinal cord issues - vs cutting them off due to a mental condition that was likely not extensively explored OR could very well debilitate over time.
I read a story of someone who knew a 16 year old girl who was convinced she was trans. She was approved for a mastectomy after 1-2 visits to the doctor. Weeks after her breasts were removed, she came back to said clinic begging for her breasts back as she realized she wasn't trans. And you REALLY think approving a surgery to take
away breast tissue for a mental condition not properly explored is ethical?
@@sandyg4646 I didn't say that at all, I would appreciate if you didn't put words in my mouth.
Cosmetic breast reductions exist and are accepted in society. Gender criticals only take issue when it involves trans people having autonomy over their own bodies.
For the record your argument's logic implies you don't believe any cosmetic surgery or permanent cosmetic treatment should exist, along with tattoos and other body mods.
You could argue all are caused by body dysmorphia, other self image issues or self harm. But nobody argued that. Because our autonomy is only questioned when we are trans.
Additionally, if you don't have a doctorate yourself (or even if you do- you've never MET this person) I'm confused as to why you immediately assume to "know better" about a patient than their own doctor
@@ev_rlasting "I didn't say that at all, I would appreciate if you didn't put words in my mouth."
I didn't say you did. I said it to illustrate a point.
As to the rest of your comment:
First of all if you're referring to the cutting off of breasts as "cosmetic" , you're only further invalidating it as a medical need. Nice going.
Second, in no way did my comment argue against tattoos or any cosmetic alteration. What I argued against is the practice of mutilating someone's body after they've had only ONE visit to the doctor and no extensive history of therapeutic counseling to support that getting a breast reduction or mastectomy is the best course of action for that individual. Same as you wouldn't cut off a person's arm just cause they asked for it, you don't cut off a person's breasts just cus they asked for it.
" I'm confused as to why you immediately assume to "know better" about a patient than their own doctor"
It doesn't take a being a doctor to know what is ethical and what isn't. The practice of cutting off breasts or doing bottom surgery on someone who had only ONE or TWO visits to the doctor about their GD, is WHOLY unethical.

yeah, but then you still don't know if the person could be pregnant, rule out certain STDs or whatever. Just straight up ask: What's your sexuality?
Or just ask them what they're sexual preference is. Seems kind of a roundabout way to get to the same answer.
@Anne-Lise Dugas Not all men have the tools necessary for that, and some women do.

As a gay man (in a rural area), I've found it can be a challenge to navigate healthcare providers. Years ago I had a doctor ask if I was married. I told him no (marriage equality wasn't law yet), and he told me I should consider it because married men live longer, healthier lives. I think I blinked hard a couple of times before responding, "well, as soon as it's legal for me to marry my boyfriend of ten years, I'll fill that prescription." Then he blinked hard a few times and asked me when I had my last HIV test. He started by making an assumption about my sexual orientation and then he made an assumption about my sex life. I never went back.
@steven milstead He was offended because when he told the doctor that he was gay his first reaction was that he certainly have a dangerous sexual life. Its wrong and a mindset from the past.
@steven milstead They do it like heterosexual guys
And the fact that the doc automatiquely think that he's gay he's having unprotected sex he's homophobic.
@steven milstead Imagine being offended because someone told you that he's offended...
Not everything is "phobic" or "ism" if you're not stupid. If the first thing you say to someone who told you is gay is "I think you have a dangerous sexuality" its homophobic.
He didn't even explain to him why he think that or else..
I had a therapist, in my first session, ask if the problems I was having with my boyfriend because I'm bisexual- I think he assumed that I was secretly gay.
But no, I've never had problems with my sexuality.

A few years ago I remember reading a study or just a short story of a 60 year old man that was yelled at by his mom as a kid for cracking his knuckles, because "it will give you arthritis". He cracked his knuckles on one hand but not the other for decades, the hand he cracked didn't have arthritis but the other did. Told my grandma this when she tried to be a Karen to the lady I got a masage from for cracking my toes.

Hey, speaking about the expiration date on food (I have a degree on food science), as long as the food smells, tastes, and looks good, you can have it.
Expiration dates are for guaranteeing nutrient content and that they probably won’t spoil before that date.
But if after that date, it’s still good, then you can surely have it and it won’t represent any greater risk for your health than it did before the exp. date. :)
I came out to my doctor as trans because my family hasn't been great (been 8 years since I came out to them and they haven't come around despite years of several different medical professionals' diagnoses of me having gender dysphoria and validating my lived experience). She said "Yeah, I had an inkling" and asked me what name and pronouns I preferred to go by, as well as told me it would only take a minute after the checkup if I wanted to change my name and recognized gender (separate from where they need to indicate sex, like an additional thing). She was so great about it that I think I might go back to her when I plan to start HRT and surgery.
that's really awesome! and same i have evidence of having gender dysphoria but my family still doesn't believe me or is accepting and i get abused for being trans. i hope it all works out for you though, that's super exciting!
I know your not a doctor, but why are there no trans women? And why does no one want to be a woman anymore? I don’t mean this as an insult or anything but I don’t know any women and every trans person I meet is ftm.
@@moseptyagami606 I'm actually not sure. It definitely is a phenomenon, though, and is something I've noticed as well. I will say I do know quite a few trans women around my age (I'm in college), but I think the ftm and ftn populations definitely vastly outnumber the mtf and mtn populations. Will be interesting to see if any scientific studies come out in the future.
@@tmmyinnit I’m a little confused. Since there’s more men in the world in total, more biological females want to be that?
@@moseptyagami606 trans women exist? never really heard that take if I'm being honest.
they might *appear* to be less common, but it's only because it's more stigmatized and hated for someone to be transitioning to female rather than transitioning to male.
This is a super random thought that just popped into my mind and has little to do with the subjects in this video, but I can’t remember the last time I had a truly comforting hug. Like yea I hug my mom, dad and sister, but everyone is so stressed these days! It almost feels like there is no time anymore for real, long, loving and comforting hugs. We live in a world that expects so much of all of us, no one has time to relax. I really miss the feeling of a true hug :(
My pediatrician years ago: "So, do you like men, women, or both?"
Very good question. At that point in my life, it was difficult to tell, so I just said, "I don't know."
She nodded, and I told her that I was not sexually active. She explained why she was asking me and what I might want to look out for and that was that. It was really comforting.
in any other situation,id advise you to call the cops lmao
@@sanguinedelight6464?
Dr. Mike is 100% correct. Doctors need to ask patients about their sex lives and preferences for an open dialogue about how to stay safe and healthy.

I came out to my doctor before my family. Thanks to Covid I didn’t have to do it face to face, which helped. Unfortunately I’m in a different city, and he doesn’t have many resources where he can refer in my city. But he asked for my new name, he asked pronouns, he wanted to know what I wanted to do, if anything, for transition. I was so relieved
How wonderful for you to have an accepting doctor!

Well he is talking about day to day work.

I'm polyamorous and I got so many jugment out of that from healthcare professionnal. Everyone consents, everyone stays protected, what more do you want?
They want "nOrMaLcY"
Seriously: the amount of Doctors I have met who believe it is their job to make their patients normal (physically and behaviourally) is soulcrushing.
Most don't care about your personal needs, what is right for you and that you (and your partners) aren't harming anyone.
It's what kept me from going into psychology, because I didn't want to be beholden to a bunch of old farts who think psychology is about "fixing" everything that is unusual about a person.
@@amandaforrester7636 No pressure Luv, but would you be willing to say more on what happened to you? I've never heard anything like that before about the poly community, and I'm interested.
@Rexxy Actually that’s completely wrong, as a medical student myself, doctors are not interested in normalcy, we’re interested in maintaining optimal health for our patients.
The question of your personal needs is irrelevant because in medicine it’s not like retail work, that patient is not always right, in fact most times they’re wrong hence the reason why we’re the doctors and your not. Also psychology is literally a discipline that investigates the human psyche and simultaneously plays a role in treating disorders of the mind. The amount of irrationality in this comment on staggering.
Also to yourself and the original comment, I feel you should do some actual reading into polyamory, because if you did you would realise that from an evolutionary biological standpoint, polyamory is an inherently unstable form of relationships, so much to the point that in every biological system they exist in, all of those systems have incredibly high levels of ultra violence which all stems from these types relationships, and there’s plenty of biological literature on this topic for you to see for yourself.
There’s a reason why natural selection favoured monogamous relationship types because the are completely compatible and suitable in evolutionary terms. It’s the primary reason why polyamory feels unnatural and wrong, because it’s not beneficial to society. It’s just a silly trend today from people simply afraid of committment
@@sophiarobbins7602 Neither of your statements are true. Many doctors do take it upon themselves to make their patients "normal" even if you haven't seen it that doesn't make it untrue. Your other statement is just so wrong evolution clearly supports polyamory in most animal species(or at least mammals) because it has the highest chance of success in yielding offspring and furthering the species. If you don't believe me just look up "What percentage of animals are polyamorous" or something similar and I'm sure you'll get results.
Edit: Spelling

So are you actually biologically trans or did you just want to be trans?
I say that because some people say they are trans but they are not .
5:16 the way my psychology teacher explained drinking tolerance is that someone who drinks a lot has more practice for predicted situations, but still won't react well if you were to suddenly throw something at them. That's why drunk driving is always a bad idea. Driving is full of small, but unexpected situations. You need to quickly decide how hard to brake, and when to change lanes. While drunk, you can't do that as well.

It was the first time ever that I saw him, and I explained that I had came back here recently cause I just had a break up with my boyfriend. He saw on my file that I had been taking the pill for about 8 years and asked me if I needed a refill or if I wanted to wait for "the next boyfriend". I completely froze and just blurred "Ahem no thanks. Let's just say I don't need it with girls."

Whenever a doctor asks me if im sexually active I say yes, and when they ask if its possible im pregnant I say no. The amount of times I have to say "I'm gay, my partner is a woman." is rediculous. Not to mention the reactions I get. Some are like "oh yeah that will do it" or "Have you ever been with the opposite sex?" What does that have to do with anything? Its so annoying.
This. Why it’s it so hard to just accept the info you’re given?? I was dating a trans man and had a string of bad uti’s and abdominal pain and issues. It took far too much explaining that: yes, I was dating a man. Yes, I was sexually active. No, there’s no way at all I could be pregnant.
@Margaret Bush Partner was a Trans Man and I am a cis Woman. There were no testes or sperm/semen in our relationship. So, no. No one could have been pregnant.
@@caitlynglambrecht I had a doctor who... I dunno if she didn't write it down and forgot each time I saw or, or straight up didn't believe me, but she kept insisting I needed to be on contraception. Like... no? Pinkie promise not to get pregnant!
Well the question: "Have you ever been with the opposite sex?" is probably just to make sure. I mean abrosexuals are a thing that exists. How'd the doctor know? And they ask that for medical reasons, obviously.
@@caitlynglambrecht Uh but that he was trans is an information the doctor really should be given. Even after (presumably) transitioning, there may still be risks from his leftover female anatomy. Sure those questions are uncomfortable, but the doc has to ask them.
thank you for speaking about lgbtq+ issues! also i gotta say, in my small, often very homophobic and transphobic eastern european country, it was always the docs and nurses who were always accepting, very kind and totally chill about me being trans (when i had to mention i was trans for health reasons)
I feel you bro...my country is also not very tolerant with LGBT ppl and it's always struggle to be around ppl like this...
As a Hungarian (I don’t live there anymore) I can only imagine the pain my fellow LGBT people feel, but in the UK it’s a bit better, but recently there’s been a comeback of conversion therapy for transgender people only which sets us back so many years and I just don’t understand why the UK is doing this, so idiotic
@@pannajohns5255 Perhaps they want to treat Gender Dysphoria... then maybe "trans" and "non-binary" people etc will feel a lot better about themselves. Not tryna be transphobic or anything but a lot of them do suffer from this and I feel like it goes so unrecognised.
@@circusmice No they don’t, the UK bringing back conversion therapy has no good intentions other than erasing transgender people and dehumanising them. Boris Johnson since March has been very outspoken about his outrage towards transgender people in the Olympics, JK Rowling, a very famous UK author, is transphobic and has a lot of influence in the public, and the news (especially tabloids) have also been spreading transphobic and transgender related news in which trans people are purposely put in a bad light, further negatively stereotyping transgender people and spreading misinformation about them. If they actually had any intentions of helping transgender people in making them feel more comfortable in their body they would set up and provide them a reliable and safe system that protects their rights and make them feel welcomed, they wouldn’t bring back conversion therapy, which in history as many people know has destroyed and broke many innocent lives. Also idk why you put trans and non binary people in quotations, ngl you give off transphobic vibes.

I was already pretty comfortable with sharing my sexuality and gender with my doctor (and explaining that I’m closeted and I don’t want to tell my parents), but I’m much more confident with Dr. Mike properly discussing this ^^
I’m 23 and have many health conditions so I have seen MANY doctors throughout the past 10+ years. The first time I was asked about my sexual preference was a year ago by my OBGYN. She still remains the only doctor I’ve ever had to ask.
Thats because obgyns need to know if you're sexually active. For women who are, tests like pap smears are a yearly must because they can spot precancers and cervical cancers early. They also treat stds so it their job to know your sexual history.
