What makes this so funny is that a common refrain of feminists is that doctors don't take women seriously, because they consider their health complaints to just be histrionics/hysteria. I have even seen some people claiming that female doctors don't take their female patients seriously, so entrenched is the patriarchy 
But being an autistic incel certainly does not lend itself to being taken seriously either -- you are perceived as a low status individual who cannot possibly know anything about yourself.
I just came back from an appointment where the doctor literally just ascribed all of my purely physiological issues to the amorphous concept of "stress," and told me to go to therapy
This is doubly ridiculous for the reason that psychotherapy really has the potential to exacerbate stress itself when it's done in the classic and condescending CBT-style.
Tbh, the true problem with my doctor is that he didn't really know what was wrong with me and wasn't able to offer any particular insights, but instead of just saying so and leaving it at that, he felt an egoistic need to make me the problem.
I have a sense that many doctors are offended by the notion of their patient knowing more about their conditions than they do, because it confuses the social hierarchy at play where the doctor is meant to be the expert and exerting all control over treatment. This is especially true if they consider you, the patient, to be a peon.
Besides scanning for NT traits and judging me based off of my appearance, which everybody does, they will often ask me what type of job I have too (normies will also do this if you talk to them, but I don't lol). Some of them who are more respectful have actually figured that I must work in healthcare given my level of knowledge about my conditions! But the disrespectful and egoistic ones will use my pathetic answer to confirm their presupposition about how my low social status must match my level of knowledge, somehow.
Oh, and in the case of CBT "therapy," you better bet that this dynamic is magnified tenfold. So many biases go into the therapist's interpretation of normality and how your thoughts must be "corrected." So it's a major red flag for a doctor exhibiting these biases themselves to recommend therapy, because they're essentially branding you a deviant who must be psychologically punished into submission. And submission to what? The egos of the professional medical class? I consider doctors to be advisers for my health, not the managers of it, and I will keep it that way.
It's for this reason that I find ChatGPT to often be superior to doctors when asking for medical advice -- as an AI, it has no pride; it doesn't scan for your social status and make assumptions about you based upon your appearance or how you conduct yourself in conversation. It feels no need to control you for the sake of making money or feeling important. Little wonder that much of medical procedure will be automated by the end of the decade! Therapy probably won't be only because I anticipate that the robotic and rote CBT style will go out of fashion, once it's realized that what those seeking therapy actually lack is true human connection.
