When the doctor is In, it's hard to be Out

34


In the wake of a recent meeting about gender and healthcare, I was pretty bummed to read this story about a transwoman ridiculed at a Muncie hospital.

Genderqueer Chicago readers, how can we educate folks in the medical community who lack information about transgender issues? What can we do to make ourselves more comfortable when doctors get genderfreakedout?

Send us your strategies at genderqueerchicago@gmail.com and I'll write up some tips for dealing with doctors as gender variant people. I'll post a list of strategies to the blog as a soon as I get a few responses!
