OBGYN for men

Wut?

Well I certainly hope they decided to stop calling it OBGYN, given what the GYN stands for. Filthy business, filthy. (I actually once knew someone who considered “gynecologist” a dirty word. This panic-loathing around all things female comes from somewhere.)

So…

The old version starts with “This 4-week clerkship emphasizes health care for women…”; the second replaces that with “This 4-week clerkship emphasizes sexual and reproductive care…”

The word “women” is gone. Sabina Spigner is “stoked” to have gotten the word “women” removed from a course description for OBGYN students. Stoked.

    Uh, everyone needs sexual and reproductive health care. What I don’t need is my lack of erections or sperm count investigated, and my partner doesn’t need a cervical smear, because no cervix.

    So, you’d still need to know first where to go. How is this helping?

    Well, it’s not, but the goal isn’t to help, the goal is to erase women.

    I keep wondering how much longer people will put up with this nonsense.

    Soon OBGYNs will be needing to refer TW on to sexual health clinics, for prostate checks etc, as well as completely confused people with English as a second language, and young people who got useless nonsense for sex education.

    Then they’ll start altering their websites and pamphlets to make clear they mean female health, and pregnancy, and then the TRAs or ACLU or HRC will complain, and it’s off to court for expensive wastes of time.

    Constant unending nonsense, waste, and harm.

    There was a simpler time when we laughed at Stan’s right to have babies … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFBOQzSk14c

    So, uh, does that means that notwomen will have their penises examined (if they’re preop) and notmen won’t be allowed to have their vaginas examined (if they’re preop). Or can now just anyone get their bits examined?

    So, women who are convinced they’re male aren’t really convinced. If they were, they wouldn’t be so upset about needing to use things labeled “women” when dealing with their female anatomy. They’d be able to roll with it. “I go to the Woman’s Clinic for my uterine fibroids,” said Bob calmly. No big problem. They recognize the terminology and history, they respect women, they don’t find it threatening. They’re confident adults.

    But no, they’re not. They’re fragile, and in desperate need of agreement and recognition. “It’s not a Woman’s Clinic if I go there,” sobbed Bob, on the brink of an existential crisis. So everyone rushes to help make sure poor Bob doesn’t undergo the cruel Conversion Therapy inherent in every encounter with women-centered spaces, products, and situations. They’re all unisex, now. Glad to come to the rescue.

    Besides, science shows that what makes someone a man or woman is their gender identity bit located somewhere in the brain.

    Has anyone asked any TIW/transmen if they want this? Or is this nonsense being driven strictly/primarily by woke folk trying to appease TIMs? I get the impression that most TIWs do behave mostly like grownups, while several-to-many-to-most TIMs act like petulant children who woke folk are more than happy to cater to, but I will accept correction if that’s not the case.

    The female symbol was removed from Always menstral products because a teenage Trans Identified Female and her mother complained. I think many of these particular cases of removing mention of womanhood involve aggrieved young women. It’s inherent in the whole mindset, where confronting evidence of your sex isn’t just traumatic, but insulting.

    Ah well I stand corrected! I’d forgotten those… my own bias is showing… hm, I’d be tempted to attempt an actual comprehensive study of attitudes/approaches if it weren’t for the fear I’d lose my job in the process :-/
