ball-ciphernentindo 7 0 75 or older 51. Are you male or female? ale PAGE ER 2 O Female genderqueer 56 What is the highest grade or level of school that you have completed? 52. ina care O 8th grade or less school, but did not 1 xeansan cameronaale in Just filled out my health insurance forms! yeah!!l f------ around with health insurance forms!!!! I hate when people complain about "oh health forms are stupid they want my biological sex instead of my genderlll" or "they only have male or femalelll" There's a reason for that, you dumb f----, and they're referring to biological sex Different health risks are present in different sexes, and whatever gender is in your head does not change the fact that if you were born female, you have a higher risk for certain cancers and osteoporosis, and if you were born male you have a higher risk for heart disease and often a shorter lifespan than a female In other words, your biological sex is an important factor in health and health insurance and your special snowflake status doesn't change that. Coulda said it nicer but it's true; it's about health. No. There gets a point where nice doesn't work. There's too many stupid ass angsty teens on here that are gonna get themselves seriously hurt or sick because they wanna be a special f------ snowflake. Lemme tell you a thing. Doctors don't give a fiying f--- what you identify as. All they want to know is do you have two X chromosomes or an XY? Because cancer and lupus and certain medicines don't give a flying f--- what pronouns you use. This is about your f------ LIFE. stop being angsty for TWELVE SECONDS because when you're in an ambulance or going into cardiac arrest or whatever the situation may be, it's ESSENTIAL that you get your head out of your ass long enough to tell them your BIOLOGICAL SEX that you were BORN WITH. It literally may save your life this is all very violent imo It's important it's not but ok lo hi im one of those doctors you idiots keep using as an excuse to yell at trans people every single thing you've said is incorrect, and you do not know what you are talking about I may need to know what organs a patient does or does not have, their hormonal status and history of exposure, and even their karyotype. Ideas like "biological sex" can often imply a lot of this. In medicine, that isn't good enough. We have to be able to catch exceptions, side-effects, sequelae and anomalies that might affect only one in a million patients. Exceptions to any one or more elements of the "biological sex paradigm are much, much, much, much more common than that. You genuinely do not know a patient's chromosomes until you've run arn expensive test, and even then, who knows! they could be a mosaic Whether this information is important, and when, and why, depends. It all completely depends. A gender/sex/whatever marker on a form is not and never will be important. No matter how you cut it, is and always will be a miniscule source of information. Frankly, by disclosing a trans background on this form, the OP has made it more diagnostically useful to a cliniciarn than that form has ever been before- we trans people are statistically very uncommon and tend to encounter distinct hardships and challenges that are highly relevant to our medical needs. Even then, it would still be no substitute for actually interviewing the patient So that's the other thing you House addicts don't have a clue about. Good doctors do "give a flying f---" about how the patient identifies because a patient's background is absolutely key to their health. Knowing a patient's basic demographics can help me think about what may be more or less likely in terms of their care needs More importantly, it helps me treat my patient with respect. This is both the decent thing to do and an absolute minimum requirement for being able to get damn near anything done. You sneering choads couldn't cure a side of beef #ooohhkillem

Regardless of what you put as the answer, I think doctors are going to get an idea of what your sex is when you have to take off your pants.

Trans doctor guy at the end would've had a point if it wasn't for the fact the original pic was about a health insurance form. Pretty sure the M/F question is just to help calculate insurance cost and make database work easier.
