So glad it was a male doctor that had to deal with this gross dude and not a female one.

Nobody is fooled by TIM "vagina". I've read accounts of men who have had sex with them (BAAAAAAAAAAARF) and they said it's not the same. And these are "allies" not terfy men, since they're gross perverts they still liked it, but they all said it's not the same.

I've also seen doctors talk about how it's not the same, and again, not in a terfy way, just in a medical way.

The only people who say it is indistinguishable are TIMs. It's a delusional fantasy.

There are not enough providers for them to be wasting precious time like that!

I think if you change your sex from M to F on your medical records then the system thinks you're female, and sends out appropriate reminders. That's all. The fool has received a letter that any woman of the same age receives and thinks he's speshul.

I understand the confusion. They really don't want people to understand what is going on

The electronic medical record will auto generate pap screening to all accounts listed as F and between a certain age range

An ostomy wound can get gonorrhea/chlamydia. (Yes, that way). Also, a rectum and a penis can get HPV,which can cause rectal or penile cancer, so I suppose HPV could be an issue in post op 'neo-vaginas'

Gay men are supposed to get rectal paps, as they can get rectal cancer from HPV

But no, not cervical screening

Edit to add

I found this:

If a person has a vaginoplasty, surgeons usuallyTrusted Source use skin from the penis to create a vagina, sometimes called a “neovagina.” However, this procedure does not create a cervix.

Vaginal or vulvar cancer

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, there is a slight chance of transgender females developing cancer in the tissues surgeons use to create a vagina. However, it states that more research is necessary.

The most commonTrusted Source cause of vaginal or vulvar cancer is the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection that spreads through vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Although HPV usually causes no symptoms, some types of HPV can develop into specific forms of cancer.

This is 100% correct.

They actually have LGBT clinics who are set up and experienced with all this

They do the rectal paps, which most practitioners really don't know how to do.

Rectal paps do NOT look fun

But, no...no. Much better to bother a bunch of ladies and take valuable appointment slots from them

Because when a scared 17 year old girl has a new discharge/skipped period and has to wait two weeks for an appointment

She can at least take comfort that some perv is being affirmed in the appointment she could have had

And a wound specialist. But in an ideal situation we wouldn't have to refer to the doctors as anything but what they actually are.

Maybe not universal, but I always have to psych myself up to not feel it as a sexual assault.

I can't imagine any woman liking that procedure. It's horribly uncomfortable to begin with, and my last one was downright terrifying because thanks to peri-menopause and various bodily changes, I felt sore for hours on end and during the exam, there was actual blood which had me freaking out for a second. My gynecologist told me it's kinda normal for things to get this sensitive. Also, there's something to be done about it, either estradiol or, in my case, suppositories with hyaluron.

Still, I dread the next exam which won't be for another year, but still... argh.

Did you know they can warm the speculum up??? I was so pissed when I found out. Apparently you just have to ask but I had no idea it was even an option

I just had to have an exam to check for herpes so ....no

But on the plus side I'm negative so ig it was worth it for peace of mind
