COVID booster signup, transphobia
Scheduling my COVID booster through Walgreens. But they're forcing me to enter "Gender: Assigned at birth", which it says is a CDC requirement :(
COVID booster signup, transphobia
@cwebber Asking gender and then if you are cis or trans and then what meds you are one would actually help them better study the population and if there are side effects in the trans population but we can't do that, we just have to try and shame them giving scientists nothing to work with.

@anubis2814 @cwebber They could've been asking the trans status directly, if they really up for it (which I doubt). No need to add the insult of "assigned at birth".
@anubis2814 @cwebber OTOH for our insurance intake we've been asked... wait for it... Religion assigned at birth. Not the exact wording, but the choice presented made it that obvious. And this was a "genetic testing form". Yes, a genetics study with a questionaire, I shit you not.
