And I agree with you, but that sounds like it's time for you to pay for that, then. Literally, your argument is that you're doing it entirely to protect yourself. Charging someone that literally cannot get pregnant (like a trans-woman) in order to cover YOUR OWN liability, just seems fucked up, IMO.

No, my guy. It's because through the years, we have to treat patients as if they are constantly lying. It's not personal, but we have to do our jobs.

Great, do your job, and then pay for your own protection. You don't bill people for malpractice insurance, you don't bill people for PPE, and you shouldn't be billing people for this. Forcing services on people against their will is called theft and fraud in any other situation. It's not personal, it's business, and doing your job doesn't justify theft.

Also, it's weird that you think it's personal for me. I'm a guy, I'll NEVER be hit by this. It's still fucked up and wrong. It's not personal, it's just bad business to bill someone for a test that is against their will. At least from the customer perspective.

And if you don't think you should pay for your own protection, then can I start coming to your house and billing you for services that have nothing to do with you that you don't consent to?

Edit: Also, has anyone ever called a stranger "my <insert friend term here>" and not come off a bit creepy?
