Comment on 'A cavity is not a vagina': Trans woman refused healthcare in France
PizzasDontWearCapes@sh.itjust.works 9 months agoThe comments about only treating “real women” and not men who “shave their beards” and “tell my secretary that they are a woman” are problematic
The patient needs to be educated about their body and the medical community needs to evolve to better serve trans people as well

Nothing they said is problematic or wrong. They care about sex, not gender. They’re medical professionals that deal with specific parts of the female reproductive system.

Disagree, they were pointlessly rude to a confused patient. The patient may have been in the wrong place, and they started strong with trying to guide them, but the later comments were just lashing out and trying to hurt.
Stating falsehoods is not a requirement for being “problematic”. Indeed, it’s ridiculously easy to reach any offensive ideology you want without having to stray from factual statements.
That’s not to say it’s all his fault, it sounds like a messy case where everyone involved screwed up.
