Comment on 'A cavity is not a vagina': Trans woman refused healthcare in France
Very_Bad_Janet@kbin.social 1 year agoIt's possible that she had "a surgical problem related to the operation." So maybe she was in the right place? We don't know if this medical complaint was ever brought up during her visit.
I think the medical profession needs to be explicitly clear on what kind of care and where transwomen (and transmen) should seek care for what kind of issue. And in considerate, non transphobic language. That way everyone is on the same page.

She’s not in the right place because she is biologically male. Gynaecologists don’t treat males.

I was quoting Pernille Ravn, a member of the European Society of Gynaecology and a gynaecologist at Odense University Hospital in Denmark, from the article. My understanding of what Ravn said is that that might be a reason to see a gynecologist. I'm just going by what this doctor said. I'm not a gynecologist in France. Regardless, it would be helpful if their medical expert explicitly stated who transwomen patients should see related to what issues.
