I had a good trans-broken-arm one a few years ago where I had just been telling my doctor that the frequency of my migraines had improved on T and in a weird gotcha voice she goes, “do you think the migraines could be caused by the testosterone?”
Well, I dunno doc, I’ve been having them since I was sixteen. I’m now in my thirties, a few years on HRT, and they’ve improved on the testosterone. Whaddaya think?
This was the same doctor who I told I thought I had a connective tissue disorder, she dismissed my concerns, and a year later she asked me if I had considered that I might have the same connective tissue disorder she had been dismissive of.
Holy shit I would be pissed. I know this is a shower argument ass rebuttal, but in your place I so would have loved to go, in an increasingly obvious baby/pet voice, "Im-proved. As in; become less frequent, and less severe. Thanks to. Taking. Tes-tos-te-rone. Do you un-der-stand now?"
