I’m a sixty-three year old MALE.
If my doctor does a pregnancy test on me, he’ll no longer be my doctor.
I expect, as a minimum, for a medical doctor to know and understand how and why a woman—and women ONLY—gets pregnant. Accept the Science!
One that accepts males can also get pregnant is NOT at all versed in science. What’s next, holes in my skull to release demons? Leeches to suck my blood?
Simply and utterly preposterous!
Ha! You’ve swallowed hook, line and sinker the “construct” that you are male! It’s just a “construct,” mate.
“Does anybody really know what time it is?”
Leeches actually have medical uses. They use them to promote blood flow in fingers and ears that have been accidentally cut off and reattached.
Bravo!
You are probably one of the last people who has common sense.
Take care, FRiend.

Just a FYI: I have had occasion over my 40 plus year medical career to order the “pregnancy test”, HCG in men so please don’t abandon your physician if they order this on you. In men and non-pregnant females the HCG serves as a marker for certain malignancies and is used as a tumor marker to follow the course of disease after treatment. Having said that any medical student or professor who is ignorant of the sex differences has no place in medicine !!
DOCTOR: How are you feeling today Mr. Smith?
MR. SMITH: Well, I have been feeling a bit nauseous in the morning lately. I'm worried I might be pregnant.
DOCTOR: Mr. Smith, you are a biological male, it is impossible for you to be pregnant.
MR. SMITH: Don't say that! It is hateful and doesn't take into account my feelings!
DOCTOR: Um...okay. What would you have me do then?
MR. SMITH: I want a pregnancy test and an OB/GYN consult scheduled.
DOCTOR: But...you aren't a woman!
MR. SMITH: I want to be one.
DOCTOR: What?
MR. SMITH: I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Loretta'.
NURSE: What?!
MR. SMITH: It's my right as a man.
NURSE: Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Mr. Smith?
MR. SMITH: I want to have babies.
DOCTOR: You want to have babies?!
MR. SMITH: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
DOCTOR: But... you can't have babies.
MR. SMITH: Don't you oppress me.
DOCTOR: I'm not oppressing you, Mr. Smith. You haven't got a womb! Where's the fetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!
MR. SMITH: (Crying)
NURSE: Here! I-- I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Republicans and Conservatives, but that he can have the right to have babies.
RECEPTIONIST: (Sticking her head in the door) Good idea, Nurse. We shall fight the Republicans and Conservatives for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.
DOCTOR: What's the point?
NURSE: What?
DOCTOR: What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't have babies?!
RECEPTIONIST: (Sticking her head in the door again) It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression by Conservatives.
DOCTOR: Symbolic of his struggle against reality.
