One of the things that continues to be an issue in the trans community is the medical treatment that trans people receive at the hands of people in the medical establishment.
While some doctors, nurses, EMT's and other medical personnel are caring, compassionate and professional, we have some nekulturny fools in the bunch as well.
We have doctors who fail to live up to the Hippocratic Oath, and nurses, EMT's and other medical personnel who are more concerned with maintaining their faith-based bigotry of trans people than providing the quality medical care their trans patients need and deserve.
Even at the expense of that trans person's life.
While the medical community tends and cultivates its image of professional caring, even, often to the point of demanding due deference to it's image, it is important to remember that many are basically self serving biggots.
The remainer, while they continue to refuse to openly criticise or accept any necessity for a proper system of redress are, effectively, supporting and encourageing these unprofessional incompetants.
