NWR: FW's gynecologist is homophobic.

Damn, she needs to find s doctor who's not a bigot. Not her place to judge, how horrible.

Ugh, report her to someone, even if she's the "boss" there must be someone you can report it t. And find a new doctor, that's unacceptable.

I feel like I'm the only one making a big deal about the comment. But I keep pushing her to get on the phone to change this bat.

That doctor should be reported!

I mean, I feel like it's fairly normal to ask which gender you're sexually active with (at least they always ask me when I go to Planned Parenthood)... But the judgment? DEFINITELY not OK. I'd find a new doctor ASAP.

She needs a new gyno and to lodge a complaint with the Medical board or BBB. That's truly homophobic.

That's ridiculous. I can understand asking how many partners, gender, stuff like that (to make sure women who are having sex with men are on birth control if they want to be, people know how to protect themselves from STDs, etc.) but the criticism is completely unprofessional. The fact that her doctor thinks "becoming straight" will just happen if she starts dating a guy is also terrifying. I wouldn't be going to such an ignorant doctor.

Wow there are some dumb people in this world. Tell her to please find another gyno asap!

My doc also keeps social info on my chart, that is pretty standard. The other comments about giving males a chance is completely inappropriate, and I agree that doc needs to be reported for unethical to the medical board.

FH is a transman... I feel exactly what you're talking about.. Doctor told us instead of trying to have kids via donor, we should just say fertility problems with me so nobody suspect he isn't a he... Doesn't make any sense to me we're already taking the early steps so that in a year everything with be easy peasy, I think that would be a sign that maybe we're up for the kiddos and not lying about fertility problems so people don't question us?? God! for all anyone else will know, the kid will be ours! Good luck to you! Get a new gyno ASAP, we just got a new fam doctor and it's HEAVEN having a positive attitude and friendly face

Well that must have been awkward!!! Yea id look for another gyno ASAP

I'd definitely look for a new doctor. The judgement is not professional. Neither is giving post op directions to a patient before they are lucid enough for comprehension. I'd jump ship.

Switch doctors, write a yelp/Healthgrades review, and report the incident to the state medical board. It is likely not enough to garner disciplinary action, but if anything else should happen with another patient, this complaint would corroborate that.

As an nurse practitioner, she needs to find a new Gyn who doesn't care about her lifestyle. However, it is important to know sexual preference, just because of different diseases and complications that may arise from said sexual relationship. For instance, I had a male patient having rectal issues. It really helps to know what his sexual orientation so I know what I may need to look for.

I understand that sexual persuasion is important to reproductive health, but recommending your patients to stop being gay is insulting, unprofessional, and really not even relevant. But unfortunately I wasn't present when this comment was made nor do I have any legal authority to say anything myself.

Ugh. It is 2015 right? As someone training to become a physician, we are instructed to find out about a patient's social history and their sexual preferences as it can lead to a host of other issues we may need to address. However, we're also instructed to be competent of all the various cultures and lifestyles we may encounter and how to handle them without being judgemental. I don't know if it's something that you can go to the medical board about but if she's the boss hit her where it hurts and negatively review her where ever possible. Stories like this is why the medical community is working on implementing LGBT competency into the curriculums. Smh.

That's terrible! I probably wouldn't have been able to keep my cool.
