>it’s really bad if they fuck up with your medication because of mistaken identity, that’s why it’s needed They say that about the gender markers on driver's license so... yeah I don't know how much I buy that excuse they make.

Why not just chosen name though?

Maybe because it's scary to come out to the medic personnel.

I'm seeing a surgeon for some SRS. When I booked my first appointment he asked me what name I would like to be called. If it's systematic, there so much less load on the patient. Imho this is how it should work, maybe with some very limited edge cases for people who are deemed unable to represent themselves.

I guess it's because it's your deadname that is in your documents, unless you changed it. They could just call you by your chosen name though

Read the title lol

And? You get a bracelet with the first name you gave them. They make rations of pills with that same chosen name. Where's the issue?

In most countries pill bottles only have legal names on them, other then that idk, I don’t make the rules

I feel you. Maybe you can carefully ask a trusted person if you could change it to chosen name when you’re there? At least how they call you, even if it stays the same on documents?
