I don't want to delegitimize this person's experience, but they do this to cis women as well. They don't trust what you say, what you have experienced, and even what your labs say sometimes. Basically, you're only safe in our healthcare system if you are a cis white male.
Cishet white male here: what makes you think they believe us? They assume we are lying about Viagra, illicit drugs, alcohol, caffeine, past diagnoses. We're treated like we are too stupid to be alive, we're seeking drugs, and trying to commit insurance fraud.
I'm not rich enough to donate a new wing; they don't believe anything I say.
