Can the EU stop winning?
Can the EU stop winning?
I’ll get back to you on that, but just to be clear transphobia on a medical level is more about gaslighting trans people and / or denying them the treatment they need.
The doctor in question could also campaign against allowing trans rights, spread misinformation or personally deny them a referral to get the treatment they need.
Wait times for trans-specific procedures can be astronomical compared to other procedures in the same country. Think years in wait time.
I don’t think most trans people complain about doctors mentioning what genitals or conditions they may have in 1-1 conversations.
All of that said, I am not trans myself, so I’m not the right person to ask. It’s best to ask trans people themselves about their experiences in the healthcare industry, but they have unique challenges.
I thought it was fairly clear, but I’ll elaborate.
If a trans person is discriminated against by their doctor, then having a mechanism to warn other trans people away from that doctor so they don’t waste their time or go through unpleasant experiences would be useful.
Same can be said of therapists etc.
To be honest we should probably have a way of publicly rating medical professionals in general, regardless of whether you are trans or not, but trans people probably need it more than the average person.
So much negativity in these comments.
Having read the guidelines, I think they’re pretty reasonable.
I’m sure it’s not perfect, but this could help people. A trans relative of mine has been mistreated by specific doctors, and being able to signal to others to stay away from these person could really help others.
Right now, the worst that can happen is that someone is wrongly flagged and a small minority of people dislike them, but the good it can do is greater.
One problem I have with it is that it’s harder than ever to get to the members list. You have to click a thing at the top of the screen rather than just swiping from the right.
Otherwise I’m mostly happy.
I live in the UK, and because of Brexit we won’t get this. Thanks Nigel Farage.
That took a lot less time than I expected.
I expected at least another 6 months to pass before a major breach around an age verification provider to pass. I didn’t even know they were in place yet.
