And she thinks she wants to have a baby?
Look, I had a baby recently and due to some bad data entry from my insurance company, when I was admitted, I was listed as "male" on the hospital bracelet for a minute. One of the nurses asked me with a barely-suppressed giggle whether that was my identity or whether it was a mistake, and it was quickly corrected.
When I said, uh, yeah, pretty sure this is as female a reason for hospital admission as it's possible to have, the nurse laughed and said, "yeah, you never know, things are getting real modern right now. These days, people can say they're anything and we have to go along with it."
So just FYI, Becky, if you think getting a Pap smear is a minefield of dysphoria and misgendering, having a baby will mean that every nurse caring for you and every doctor investigating the status of your vag will be laughing at you behind your back and possibly to your face. Please keep this in mind and keep filling your birth control prescriptions accordingly.
