Title: If this isn't discrimination what is?
Post by: Blush on October 09, 2015, 08:31:37 PM
I work in healthcare where we use certain standardized codes to diagnose and describe patients' conditions.

I was toying with a code database app on my phone and stumbled upon a code most providers use for transgendered patients and was pretty astounded and upset about how it's categorized and which other diagnosises it's categorized with.

It is still (incorrectly) considered a mental problem.  I don't think it's discrimination.  It's stupidity.
