IVF that your doc doesn’t know about?
Sexual assault you fear reporting?
Used the wrong dildo?
You make straight porn?
Medical algorithms are meant to take in as many possibilities as they can get that have a real impact on overall health. Pregnancy is a huge one.
“Conversations I imagine in my head that never actually happen to anyone”
I’m a trans woman who has absolutely had this conversation
This happens literally every day in clinics.
It’s happened to me. Several times.
Every time my wife has some medical thing where the symptoms or treatments could be effected by pregnancy. Although usually they just skip the sexually active question and go straight to “is there any possibility you could be pregnant?”
I’ve been present for a number of these during emergency rooms visits, and a few other situations where I had to drive her due to the use of anesthesia.
Some lesbians can produce sperm.
“Lesbian trapped in a man’s body” is literally a 1980s boomer stand up joke. And it wasn’t really funny then either.
Pretty sure they’re talking about lesbian trans women
Huh? Sorry if it comes across that way, not what I meant at all. Wasn’t even meant as a joke. I’m talking about trans women before bottom surgery.
Technically they train us to ask specifically are you sexually active with men, women or both? I suppose it would be more fair to include intersex people, but that would just lead to us definitely ordering a pregnancy test…
Lesbians would like a word with OP.

There are lots of ways for straight women to be sexually active that have zero chance of becoming pregnant too.
