1: Bailey is like what 10? A little young to be diagnosed with gender dysphoria.
2: The doctors and nurses familiarize themselves with the situation via the charts before comming in so they DONâT look like bafoons (pretty sure i mispelled that)
3: Not only would the chart show bailey as a male but this is a hospital you dumb fucks, we use medical knowledge. Do you have ANY ideo how many ailments only effect one sex or have varying factors based on sex?? Your personal feelings and identity mean nothing in a situation where treating a man like a women could LITERALLY,
LITERLLY,
Kill someone, a drug effective on women can cuase heart failure in men.
(i doubt anything that serious would happen but the point stands)
Hi! Iâm a doctor.
1. 10yo is PLENTY old enough to have dysphoria. A lot of kids realize they are trans (not by name, of course, but they do FEEL it) as early as 2 years old or so, which is when kids start realizing what gender is and where they belong in that respect. Itâs true that many kids donât realize this until puberty or even later, but that is not the only path.
1a. You donât have to have gender dysphoria to be trans. You donât have to have a diagnosis to be trans.
2. Doctors and nurses absolutely familiarize themselves with the chart before seeing the patient (if there is time. Looks like here there probably is time). Awareness of social history including family/living situation, custody issues, recent life events that may require sensitivity, and CERTAINLY gender as well as biological sex would definitely be a part of the chart. So for instance I have seen patients who are trans; usually when I write a note for them I would put it in the very first line of the note:Â âJohn is a 15yo transgender male (assigned female at birth) who presents for Xâ
2a. Itâs âbuffoonsâ :)
3. Generally speaking this isâŚâŚnot the case. Yes, knowing someoneâs biological sex is important, though I am honestly more concerned with any particular therapies they may be on for a medical transition, or health maintenance (eg pap smears, prostate checks) than I am with their chromosomes or whatever. For kids, some diseases have a tendency to affect one sex or another, but thereâs not much I can think of that has such a strong association with one sex that I would be screwed if I didnât know the kidâs biological sex. (Plus, as mentioned in 2, we can know both their bio sex AND their gender!!)
3a. I do not know of any drug that is effective in women but will literally literally cause heart failure in men.
Hi, trans Pharmacy Technician chiming in on 3a:
Iâm pretty sure theyâre taking about spironolactone, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure in women and occasionally men, an has a very handy âside effectâ in high doses that lowers testosterone and so is used as a competent of female HRT.
The âoh but some drugs affect men and women differentlyâ is complete bullshit and is a common TERF line
an edit of the new taylor swift music video except it’s just the gay and trans people having fun and heaven is a place on earth by belinda carlisle is playing
Dont @ me but if ur a white content creator u should probably examine your brown characters (especially the darker skinned ones) and see if u aren’t following a certain trend of making them all aggressive, violent, surly or otherwise outwardly angry
Honestly this comes insidiously in subtle ways I think
Are your brown characters always scowling in the art u draw? How about emotionless asians? Do u have white antagonistic characters that get to be cute or beautiful, while ur brown characters ONLY get to be confrontational?
Anyway, daily reminder from a culturally isolated Romani person.
Gypsy does not mean wanderer.
It literally means ‘people from egypt’ or similar, as europeans believed Romani people were from Egypt. It has become known similar to nomad due to how our ancestors have been forced to be nomadic due to racism and ostracization, but it is a SLUR.
Romani people are STILL being forcibly sterilized.
Romani people are STILL being forced into ghettos.
Romani people are still facing violence and danger in countless European countries- and recently, I’ve seen the beginnings of the extremes in the United States.
Have a little fucking respect and DON’T USE A SLUR THAT’S BEEN USED FOR CENTURIES AGAINST US.
And for the love of whatever’s up there, ESPECIALLY do not use it to describe your witchcraft. It is playing on the ‘magic gypsy’ trope, and is EXTREMELY insulting.
