Being insecure about not being the perfect stereotype of a trans woman has to be the dumbest thing my brain can cook up for me.

We were getting home from a New Year's dinner party with friends. We'd had a blast, and by the time my partner and I walked through the door it was just before 2am on New Year's Day.

After going to sleep, I started having abdominal pain. At first it felt mild, and I didn't panic. The day before I'd had cramping and back pain, the usual signs of my hormonal cycle. Not a period, not blood, but that familiar pattern some trans women on HRT can recognize as period-like symptoms anyway.

But as time passed, the pain kept increasing. It went from uncomfortable to relentless, like something tightening a belt inside me one notch at a time. Around 4:30am I woke my partner and asked her to call 911. By the time I got to the ER, I was already partially blacking out from the pain, and it was really difficult to speak.

At some point a nurse came in and started the intake questions, brisk and practiced.

"When was your last period?"

Me, barely able to get the words out: "Hormonal cycle. Two days ago."

"So, you mean blood?"

"I do not have a uterus."

"Do you still have your ovaries?"

"I have male genitalia."

"Oh! sorry about that!"

And then she just kept going, adjusting her questions and notes like it was a minor detour in the script.

I've stumbled across so many stories from other trans women in medical settings, mostly about providers not being properly trained, or intentionally misgendering, or denying care outright. In the back of my mind, those stories can feel like a shadow that follows you into places where you're already vulnerable.

But this wasn't that.

What I got instead was awkwardness, not hostility. Assumptions, yes, but not cruelty. A system trying to recalibrate rather than push back. It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't threatening.

And somehow, despite the pain and the confusion, it was weirdly affirming. For a brief moment, without explanation or correction, I had been read as a woman by default. Not an exception, not a footnote. Just a patient whose body didn't quite fit the boxes.
