Comment on 'A cavity is not a vagina': Trans woman refused healthcare in France
HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 1 year agoPost op trans women need gynecological services. If, however, you’re a trans woman who has had bottom surgery to create a vagina (vaginoplasty) and possibly a cervix, there’s a very small risk that you can develop cancer in the tissues of your neo-vagina or neo-cervix. The risk depends on the type of surgery you had, the type of tissue used to create your vagina and cervix and your personal health history. Talk to your healthcare provider to figure out your specific cancer-screening needs as part of your overall pelvic health following surgery. So neither shit stirring nor seeking unnecessary healthcare are necessarily at play here.

For cancer treatment you see an oncologist, or if there are existing signs and you need to nail down whether you have it or not, or the specifics of your case. For screenings you don't go to an onco.

Alright, so you go to your GP or, since the cancer risk in this case comes from basically a skin graft, so maybe a dermatologist. But you sure as hell don’t needa gynocologist. Ther is also no mention of gynecology in the article you linked.

You also don’t go to a gynaecologist if you’re a male.
