#stood in the street boggling at no one cuz i could not believe ''have you Had The Surgery?'' just came out of a real human's real mouth

had meds review phone call with a pharmacist yday, which was fun cuz, firstly, he asked me thee most boilerplate Mental Health Screening questions to gauge whether my antidepressants were working that were truly like. just ask me "do you think your meds are working". "have you had more good days than bad days?" more good days yeah but that is not insignificantly due to luck. my medication does not control the health of my pets, for example. "are you sleeping well?" past couple weeks i worked some night shifts so no. because of the night shifts. "are you eating regular meals?" i have an eating disorder. the antidepressants aren't for that.

and then secondly he asked about the T which no meds review has ever done before and after i said "yeah it's going well" he asked if i was "fully transformed" and when i said "i have no idea what you mean by that" he clarified by asking. in these exact words. "have you Had The Surgery?" and then when i said "no???" he said "so you still need a cervical cancer screening?" to which i did not say "just ask if i have a uterus and also how is that relevant to my medication" because i was walking home from work. and THEN he asked how recently i'd had a blood test. but only after we got the apparently necessary insane cis questions out the way first

he also very confidently said i was on the antidepressant for "depression and anxiety" and asked if i'd had any panic attacks recently. i have never been diagnosed with anxiety and i have never in my entire life had a panic attack.
