You tell me you’re not pregnant. I take your word for it. I order a CT abdomen/pelvis. I irradiate your fetus. You sue me and I lose my license and the ability to do the only thing I’ve ever been good at.
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.
In many circumstances if you aren't litigious you're just being complacent with things like wage theft or OSHA violations. However in the case of someone denying a pregnancy test and then finding out they're pregnant and suing because they wanted to keep the baby they weren't even willing to test for the existence of, I think that ones on the patient, not the doctor.
