It was early afternoon when, Vaught said, she approached the intake desk with her wife, Amanda Vaught, their son, and a Ziplock bag filled with blood-soaked tissues. Vaught said that when she supplied the standard information to check in -- including an ID that clearly stated she was female -- she was entered into the computer system as "male."

"I pointed out that my ID says female," she said. "There were two ladies there, and one of them snickered a little bit and covered her mouth. The other got a very annoyed look on her face."
