Have a routine smear booked at my local surgery and just received a reminder text saying it will be with Mx Firstname Surname.

I have no idea if this person is a biological woman or a biological man.

Can I call and ask?

It's a feminine first name but I know that doesn't mean anything.

You can definitely call and ask. And if it being a male person would upset you or make you uncomfortable or not want to attend then you absolutely should call and ask, and ask for it to be changed if it turns out it is a man.

I would call and check as I would be very uncomfortable if it was a man and would worry about being not confident enough to ask in person if it only became apparent when I entered the room.

I absolutely would.

Yes you can. And I would be prepared to walk out if Mx was actually Mr.
