Transgender Question

It's actually pretty controversial in the trans community so it seems. In this situation, a person may have transitioned enough to look male but has not had a hysterectomy or reassignment surgery. (Btw, "transitioned" does not exclusively mean they have had the surgery or are even on HRT, it means they are just openly identifying as the gender they identify with.)The difference between women+men boy+girl mom+dad and male+female is that the first 3 pairs are just constructs to indicate gender, age and progress in reproduction. Similarly doe, bull, cow, queen, etc. While male and female indicates sex, which is what medical personnel (may) need to know. You're biology is obviously a little different when it comes to being male or female, HRT or not. So the question should actually be should all medical charts come with preferred names/gender under legal names if different? Yes, they should. That will end a lot of unintentional offense to trans individuals, including those in your original question about pregnant men. In the case of the wrist bands, if the individual has that much problem with them they'll probably remove them or ask to not be given one. You can always refuse things like that, because your friend is right -once past a certain age every female is viewed as possibly pregnant. I'm a RT and they taught me that too.
