Reading Feinberg and stoking my burning fury about the injustices inflicted upon trans people by shitty health care staff, but wondering what to do about it, and then Leslie herself says exactly what to do about it. Really thought of everything
interesting quote, cw discussion of transphobia
"A very caring nurse recently told me she wished trans people would inform her of that fact right away. If she finds out later, she feels duped. And she believes it’s important for their care that she knows what their birth biology is.To be blunt, it’s really not her business. Each trans patient must have the fundamental right to privacy. The question of patient self-revelation can’t be seen solely through a clinical lens. There are larger social issues. Maybe you feel you would treat this patient the same way once they came out to you. But when you put it in their chart, or mention it to the next staff member, the trans patient may be mistreated."
I'm a nurse. It doesn't impact care literally at all, I don't know what that nurse was on about. Unless you're asking about pregnancy and pap smears, and even then just accept the answer "no" and "no I am not pregnant." I'd tell them my estradiol injections and meds and stuff as an inpatient and maybe some of then have their heads on tight enough they could figure it out, but they don't need to know. Or inserting a Foley oh god, sorry nurse yes I don't have what you were expecting lol
This is reassuring to hear. I have never told a doctor unless I felt like it, but worried I should have been. Glad that's not the case cause fuck that!!
o yea big same
:yea: I think it's getting to me a little too much right now.
Would not recommend trying to read theory when u feel bad
