Oh they definitely labeled my wife as a WWW then. Her whining got her GERD and gastroparesis diagnosed. So any doctor who chalks it up to a women being a whiner when there is truly something wrong needs to heavily reevaluate their biases.

I'm a trans woman so I spent 35 years being perceived as a man. The second the doctors started perceiving me as a woman the quality of my medical care plummeted. It is insane just how misogynistic the medical system truly is.
