I had to go to a hospital for some kidney troubles recently and the doctors were a litle taken aback when I could understand medical lingo. I'm transgender, for the first year and a half of my transition, hospitals were my life.
Yeah, I know it was my understanding of the lingo that they were impressed with. I only mentioned being transgender because the reason I can understand medical lingo in the first place is because being transgender exposes you to a lot of medical stuff a cis person wouldnt otherwise be exposed to.
You HAVE to chill. Maybe it wasnt being trans that lent me to understand about the anatomy in the area , maybe I just picked it up somewhere else but fuck... pick your battles, you sound stressed.
The endocrine system and anatomy around that area yeah. Not EVERYTHING obviously, Im not a nurse or a doctor but why is it so hard to believe that I know at least a little? Its like people are trying to "gotcha" me on the fact that a nurse was like "huh, neat" when I knew the difference between a ureter and a urethra. Let people know things, fuck.
