To give cis people an idea of what we're talking about, feel free to share here your worst medical transphobia experience, if you feel comfortable.

I can start. While being prepped for top surgery I was consistently misgendered and had nurses openly come to see me and stand around, talking about me while I was right there. I was a curiosity. No one would answer my questions. They ignored me like I wasn't even there.

Or maybe I should talk about the 5 times my hysterectomy was cancelled due to transphobia. Or the 2 times that happened less than 24 hours before the hysto was scheduled.

Or maybe I should talk about the GP who addressed me like a child, told me that she "knew nothing about people like me" and when I said it was a shame they didn't learn about trans people in medical school replied, "it's not important. There aren't many of you."
