Warning: I received care this week at UPMC Mercy campus, Locust street, Uptown, Pittsburgh. I was repeatedly misgendered and deadnamed. When my PCP went back to check my chart, he found that they had changed my gender to F and my name too.

That's right: They changed my medical chart! Top it off: I'm NOT female; I am AFAB, Intersex, and calling me female is a dangerous misrepresentation! I am beyond freaked out by this. Fortunately, my PCP is after them.

Ok, I'm going to put this as mildly as possible because no-one has glanced at my CW'd posts, but I don't want to retraumatize survivors.

If you never have, please look up Intersex Surgery on Children, for information about an Actual thing that Really happens in our country every day, not a made-up thing that never has.

I was lied to for 44 years. Trust me, this is NOT a good approach for someone to take with their child.

A proposed law in Massachusetts would coerce prisoners to donate organs for transplant. Please, if you live in Mass., write to your legislators and tell them to oppose it.

Some details, and a model letter to the legislature: https://redbird.dreamwidth.org/3040619.html
