Re: The other gynecologist thread made me wonder... (TMI)

You're sort of pushing it, as far as official medical indications go.

I didn't go until my early twenties either (wasn't sexually active until my twenties) but the first time I got this huge scare as I had an abnormal pap smear. Fortunately it sorted itself out, but you can have issues separate from being sexually active.
That being said, only you can know if it's worth it. Given your age, the risks are not too huge.

It also sort of depends on when you're planning that hysterectomy. 2 years from now? 10 years? And sadly, before that hysterectomy you'll likely need a gyno exam anyway.

I remember seeing this pretty awful documentary about a trans man dying of ovarian cancer. The film's called "Southern Comfort", if you're interested.
Bottom line, even if you're not using it, you junk can give you grief...try to look out for your health. I think there are lists out there with LGBT-friendly doctors - try to find one of those if you do.
