I found the most interesting thing from this study was the table of issues and percentages for whom they occurred:
Nearly a quarter were ridiculed for being trans! In an ER!
This makes me nauseous.
Quote
Specific negative ED experiences††
Refused or ended care 10%
Hurtful or insulting language 32%
Refused to discuss trans-related concerns 18%
Told that you are not really trans 13%
Discouraged from exploring gender 14%
Told provider does not know enough to provide care 31%
Belittled or ridiculed for being trans 24%
Thought gender marker on ID was a mistake 27%
Refused to examine parts of body 12%
Had to educate ED provider about trans
A lot 28 (18–55)
Some 26 (9–34)
A little 13 (7–24)
No 33 (12–47)
Nearly a quarter were ridiculed for being trans! In an ER!
This makes me nauseous.
