I'm really sorry, that sounds horrifying to live with. Yes I know that no research is being done into other conditions either, which is why it makes me so mad when the focus is all on pronouns and not calling it a women's disease.

A significant number of the female population lives with chronic or recurrent pelvic pain that is life-altering or life-ruining from endo or other causes. Yet none of it gets researched. Lots of doctors still are taught, and believe, the nonsensical "reverse menstruation" explanation for endo that some crackpot came up with 100 years ago. In the years I was being sent to endo "specialists" I was shocked at how cavalier and casual most of them were about it.

I too resent how the pronoun people are being prioritized and slavishly catered to in medicine. Hope you've found a good physician, and best wishes to you.
