I've completed biometrics and awaiting the medical exam step in my EE PR application.
I'm fully transitioned transgender, have already had sex reassignment surgery, etc.
For various bureaucratic reasons I have not updated my legal gender marker in my birth certificate/ passport.
Therefore my biometrics and EE PR application both show my old gender.
I'm concerned about the medical exam. If a doctor assesses my body, does blood work, etc. the results of the examination will be skewed as some blood tests will be out of range for normality to the registered gender, BMI will be off, etc.
I also usually bind my breasts and dress gender neutral in situations with government authority to ease interaction. Should I not bind during the medical exam?
Is there some way to include a note on my transgender identity with my medical exam?
I'm currently living in a country where doctors will not be helpful at all with this. Does anyone have experience with this, or any advice?
Any information is appreciated, thank you!
