hell yeah brother we don’t need a doctor to gaslight us, we can do that just fine on our own, repeatedly saying “i’m fine, it’ll go away soon anyway” (half joking)
As a cis male, I’ve found the opposite to be true. I do go to the Dr. for all kinds of stuff. I also tend to tell it like it is when in a consult/visit. That’s where I noticed that things are backwards for me. I’m taken too seriously, as though I’m under-playing my symptoms. Like I’m a guy who decided to actually come in to the doctor’s office, so it must be really bad. It’s actually led to a few cases of being over-prescribed on things.
You know all that medical gaslighting and not having their problems taken seriously women complain about?
Men don’t experience that as much because we just don’t go to the doctor in the first place.

Doctors hate it! Cure your depression with this one simple trick! (may cause suicide in some cases)
Unless I’m literally bleeding out, I’d rather shoot myself in the dick than go to a doctor
But if you shot yourself in the dick, now you’re bleeding out.
