Poker face

The primary reasons they gave for referring me to CSS were... that I'm trans and live with other people. For that, they suggested there's a danger to my baby that required intervention.

It's such a short piece of text and there's so much wrong. The entire premise is obviously fucked up, but then there's the way they write it. I get called a "transman" as one word, my top surgery is mentioned out of nowhere, my cis friends that I live with are called "males" and my other friend is mentioned as being trans despite no relevance, they call me "she" after only one sentence of gendering me correctly before it, imply I'm lying about not being romantically involved with my friend, and incorrectly state that I'm financially supported by my friend (never said this, not sure where they got it from).

Luckily when CSS called, the woman I spoke to closed the case immediately after talking to me. She thought the referral was as ludicrous as I did and apologized to me for this happening. It doesn't escape my notice that if it had been a different social worker who was more transphobic, I would've had to deal with invasive house visits and assessments immediately after getting home from a 5 day hospital stay during which I only slept for 4 or 5 hours total.
