In response to comment about ptient safety and quality care, here is another comment: If I came in to a clinic and saw my gender or anything in my file as anything but a woman, I would never come back. This isn't a politics. This is who I am. A system trying to tell me otherwise is the problem we are trying to fix. Indeed, this IS a quality of care issue. And this IS a patient safety issue. I haven't felt safe sharing my opinions here for some time now which is why I've pretty much silenced myself of late. Imagine how a patient feels about their safety. So yes, I do agree this is a patient safety issue. Calling me anything other than a woman. Not providing me care based on my organs and what I present with, is the exact opposite of patient safety.
