My mother is forcing me to go to a gynecologist. She's gonna force me to get "looked at" if you know what I mean. She's doing this totally without my consent. I don't know what to do, I'm on the verge of a panic attack.

      You have the right to refuse treatment. Depending on your age you can refuse your mom entry to the exam room. When you’re alone Tell them your mother is forcing you to be there and that you will not consent to the exam. If you feel comfortable to you can still use that time to talk to the doctor about things that might be helpful for them or you to know, without being visually or physically examined. They could help you get on medication to stop your cycle, or help you get on the path to hormones if you want them to. They could help you manage your cycle in a way that makes it less stressful or symptomatic, if it’s a tough time for you. If you’re able to, try to find a GYN that’s trans friendly near you.

      I mean going to a gynecologist IS important, you need to stay healthy. But maybe approach the doctor privately and let them know about your gender, pronouns, name, etc.

      Oh no. You’re mom is making some reallyyy bad parenting decisions right now. Forcing your kids to do something like that is gonna be traumatic for them. Tell the doc how you feel. Seems like we have kinda similar moms. In my experience, they get a little less mean as they age.

      if you aren't able to get out of going I would tell the doctor that you're not comfortable and your mom is forcing you to go, if you don't consent they legally can't preform anything on you
