Obviously this would be very stupid of this person, but legitimate question (not trying to be inflammatory, honestly curious).
I sort of assumed a medical chart would explicitly include if someone was transgender/had transitioned, is that not the case? I guess the hysterectomy does that itself, but it feels like it would be something explicit to ensure the doctor doesn't overlook it when glancing at a chart? Because wouldn't that be potentially relevant to diagnosis/treatment? Obviously if you're like...there for a broken bone or at the dentist it's whatever, but if you were actually sick?
