        Maybe a trans woman who was AMAB but had bottom surgery?

        Wouldn’t be capable of pregnancy but might need a gynecologist?

        This is all my guess - I don’t know much about these topics.

          you usually see a gynecologist for pap smears once a year, but there might be one willing to do prostate exams for post-op trans women … usually trans affirming gynecologists are for pro-op trans men

          maybe post-op trans women would see a gynecologist, just not sure what for

          edit: looking it up, a gynecologist is recommended for post-op trans women, looks like a gynecologist can even function as a primary care doctor!

          Common reasons to go include treating granulation, checking for yeast infections and STIs, and performing pelvic exams which might catch potential cancers.
