I know you're (mostly) not doctors, but . . .

And thanks busdriver and others. Of course finding out that I’m probably OK (knock on wood!) is the most important thing.

I just don’t like it that now that I’m finally feeling relieved, someone has to come here and attack me for no reason, seemingly trying to ruin my good mood, all because they erroneously think I’m using incorrect terminology, and erroneously think I was faulting the doctor for not recognizing the term I used. Which I wasn’t. And maybe she did recognize that the term has more than one meaning, you know? Maybe her confusion was an example of cognitive dissonance. It happens. What a tempest in a teapot. But atacom has to realize that I’m not someone who lets an attack like that go unchallenged! Especially when it wasn’t simply an attack on me, but an attack on trans people in general, in the sense that atacom seems to be trying to use bullying tactics to deprive trans people of any agency and any role in controlling or even influencing the discourse about our own lives. It’s not going to happen. Those days are over.
