really appreciate how planned parenthood asks about sexual partners where they ask whether they have a penis, vagina, or both. my ex was a man, no matter what his sex parts were, and it's a way less invalidating way to ask

the things i'd want to be careful of with that, although in general it sounds awesome, is that with hysterectomies it's decently common for people to not know what they all got removed. so for that i'd want some way on the form/in the visit to address that.
