"Denise has had to repeat her PSA test numerous times because the lab sees the label “female” and throws it in the bin, assuming an error.

Having separate sex markers and gender/gender identity markers on medical records would help, but the TRAs have bollocksed everything up by trying to collapse the distinction between the two. I don’t know what they were expecting. Turns out that reality is stubbornly persistent. 🤷‍♀️
