How easy is this to have done? I think it's the only way I can go through with one nowadays.

So after a pp said I could go to a hospital I sent an email to one near me and got this reply

"The answer is yes. You will need a referral from your GP and we will happily see you in our sedation clinic."

BW

Pronouns: She/Her
Advanced Hysteroscopy Nurse Specialist
Certified Nurse Sedationist
Transgender Service Link Nurse

How on do I trust this nurse is female? How do I trust someone who uses she/her pronouns, especially bearing in mind Dr "Beth" Upton who wouldn't tell a patient she wasn't female?

I don’t understand why you are so worried that the person replying may not be female? Even if they’re male you can certainly ask for a female to do the procedure. I’m not sure what the point of even sharing the email is to be honest. You’ve asked the hospital, they’ve said it’s possible so you have your answer 🤷🏼‍♀️

I would assume she is the go to person for transgender people who were born female and still have a cervix and need smears.

More and more of us need to be asking. They're never going to listen to women-can you imagine if men had to have these procedures done, how much more research would've been put into it and how much more pleasant they would make things? Ask OP. I've had a smear under G.A. My ex partner had laser cell removal under GA.

The word you are looking for is "women"

No, the word isn’t ‘women’. Don’t be so ignorant!
