this is along with name, race and other demographic information
They don’t have a gender field, and it really feels like they are just reducing sex and gender down to “you are what you were assigned at birth”, and then hiding behind amorphous medical “reasons” as justification …
what update are you expecting?
it will never be relevant, it’s just demographic information they were collecting because I was scheduling a flu shot …
EDIT: also potentially relevant to the context: people don’t seem to be able to tell I’m trans (to my surprise), so it’s not like I’ll show up as a visibly trans person or anything, I’ve mostly just told medical people I was born without a uterus when they ask for my last period or if I’m pregnant.
