- LB 324B Final ProjectBy: Faith Persyn
- Reproductive Politics: Doctor-Patient Interactions
- We need to discuss contraception. I know you just started transitioning but testosterone can be dangerous for a fetus. So, we need to ensure you are protected.
- Does he even know a hormonal IUD could cause issues?
- Uhh okay.
- He didn't even ask about my sexual preferences. I'm not going to get pregnant which he would know if he made an effort to build a relationship.
- What about all of my other options? Shouldn't I be presented with all of them? Not just the one my doctor assumes is best for me?
- I'm looking to get started with some contraception.
- Okay. I know the IUD is one of the most effective forms of contraception for preventing pregnancy, and you don't even have to do anything with it once it's placed!
- Reproductive Politics: Heterosexual Partner Interactions
- So, um... I don't want to use condoms. They're too tight and it doesn't feel as good.
- I don't want to do this. I want to keep using condoms.
- Okay, I guess I can try the pill... again.
- Why is preventing pregnancy always my responsibility?
- I brought condoms.
- Why do I always have to decide?

- Reproductive Politics: Transgender Men in Couple Interactions
- We should still use condoms. My doctor wanted me to get an IUD but I just don't think that is the best option for me.
- I totally get it. Is your provider knowledgeable about trans medicine?
- Isn't the testosterone a sufficient form of birth control?
- I was talking to my doctor today and she assumed I needed contraception without asking about my sexual preferences.
- That happens to me a lot. I wish they would build more of a relationship with patients and avoid making assumptions.

- I'm not going to go on the pill. I don't see it as a step we need to take. We can keep using condoms.
- We've been dating for a while now. I think we should discuss you going on the pill.
- I brought condoms we can use.
- I am afraid of the side effects. Have you seen the huge list it comes with? I could unfold that packet and use it as a blanket.
- So I guess we just won't use any contraception at all then.
- Oh... okay. But I don't want to use them. Why aren't you on the pill?
- Reproductive Politics: How are these norms taught? Parent-Child Interactions
- Um... okay. I want to talk to my doctor about it first. Aren't there a lot of side effects?
- She didn't even mention condoms. What about condoms?
- Honey, if you're having sex you need to get on the pill.
- Ugh, mom. Okay I get it.
- Son, I want to make sure that you know if you're having sex you need to be using condoms.
- Reproductive Politics: Gendered Contraceptive Terminology and Teaching
- Okay so today we will be talking about how to protect yourselves from pregnancy using methods like the pill, female condoms, or an IUD.

- Okay so they are assuming my gender and sexual preferences again.
- Why is pregnancy prevention always a girl problem?
- So today we are going to talk about using condoms.
- Health Class: Boy Version
- What about other forms of birth control?
- Assuming my gender again. Not surprised ad all. This school system is wack.
