Hey, Corkey, let me understand your response:


Do you know about colonoscopy procedures? Have you had one recently?

When I was in college, I worked in a hospital in the department where they did colonoscopies. Forgive the graphics folks, but fact is; the anus is about an inch away from the genitals. Unless there have been some changes in the procedure, there is no hiding the genitals from being exposed to the tech staff during a colonoscopy. Technicians might get freaky if the bits don't match the rest of the persona. Regarding colonoscopies, how might you think leaving the gender question 'blank' on paper keeps ones TG status private?


I had a technician create drama and discomfort for me regarding my gender during another wellness procedure I had in the past. Friends have had similar unpleasant experiences in medical test centers. Because of this, I kinda sorta thought my concern was obvious.

An LGBT-friendly/ trans-aware facility might alleviate some of the awkwardness one might experience, so I was looking to see if anyone might know of such place/s.

I think I have my answers, though, so thanks every one!
