I'd like to say this experience was bad, but everyone else at that hospital treated me with all respect and used the proper pronouns and I told them that.when I left. they did a good job and totally helped me move on , the program itself is excellent and this is the second time in 3 years that I was admitted to it.  This is my opinion of how I experienced the event when I was in serious trouble and to be honest I don't believe I was treated properly by the psychiatrist. I have absolutley no intent to debate or argue the qualifications of rhis particular psychiatrist only to say this is how I perceive the actual event. Thanks for the support in a time of severe need , I truly appreciate the support at Susan's.

"It's not easy to find compassionate medical care when you're a transgender person, says Victoria Albina, who has a busy medical practice in Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., where she works with many transgender and LGBTQ patients.

Albina is a board certified family nurse practitioner who holds a degree in public health and has trained in integrative and functional medicine. She told CBS News that her work is rewarding, but she's saddened that in a world where a health care provider's office should be a sacred space, most fall short for people who don't fit traditional gender roles."

just received a phone call from a hospital administer apoloqizing  for the treatment at the hands of the psychiatrist. Apology accepted , lets move on.

Having seen the medical records generated by others in similar circumstances, I'm moved to wonder if the doctor wrote any transphobic wisecracks in your medical records.  You wouldn't be the first.   

I'm very glad they said something. They want me to call back and talk to an administer . They left a voice mail so I'll find out tomorrow or Monday. I qm also surprised that they called me.

Just because you got misgendered, that doesn't automatically make the person a bigot (transphobe in your book).

I'm sorry, but you apparently weren't reading.

Quote from: stephaniecWe meet again and I was somewhat shocked that he started playing his little transphobe game again pointing to his list of patients and saying he doesn't see any Stephanie he only sees Steve.

This is horrible.  That behavior is transparent, deliberate, calculated, and abusive.  It's directed at a transgender person because the person is transgender.  Dude's job is to help people, and instead, he's pulling a power trip and abusing a patient at risk of suicide.  This is transphobia, plain and simple.

I hope you can get your housing situation sorted and secure, Stephanie.

I went to the food stamp office so because I haven't changed my name legally I presented male.

...and from this thread:

So I tell him I'm transgender which is pretty obvious because I have a dress on and some beard growth.

I assume as a medical professional that legal names, SSNs, DOBs etc are what they are for a very important reason.  Doc probably had a paper of Stephanie's LEGAL NAME on file and there's your quote... the "I don't see a Stephanie, only a Steve".

As far as misgendering; I have no goals to hurt feelings, but read above and the fact is she admitted she had beard growth.

Again, NOTHING I read in her post was indicative to me that this doctor was some evil bigot.

Trans people getting offended is like SJWs getting offended.. people expect it and usually we prove them right.  Classic example here.  Instead of looking at this sad situation objectively, you interpret this subjectively and jump on the 'torches & pitchforks' bandwagon all too quickly.

Don't get mad at me, personally, for simply calling out the facts.  Remember, facts don't care about your feelings [-Ben Shapiro]

I'm not mad ar anyone , I was surprised I got an apology and I'll leave it at that.
