I went to the GP to ask if there were other solutions than to sit on the gender-bureaucrat waiting list for 3+ years (answer: nope; but honestly, didn't really expect it either - was worth a shot though)

He asked me some questions about my gender, fair enough, but then he also asked about my sexual preferences which I found a bit odd. I told him I didn't really see the relevance of whether I'm into women or men, when it comes to what gender I feel I am? Or am I missing something here? He said "he just tried to get the whole picture".

Made me feel a bit weird. I bet it's not malice, but just him being awkward with the subject? He didn't feel too judgy, tho he also felt far from comfortable.

Ari Gardens as a Verb

@bazkie OK that's creepy and uninformed on his part. I hope he does make a change to his choices and questions. But, I am sorry you had to go through that! 🤬

@arisummerland thank you.. 🙏🏼 it wasn't super traumatic or anything. I'm very open about my sexual preferences.. I just found it odd that he would ask!
