Probably the most respectful way I've seen a med drama handle trans people. Not perfect, Maggie still says she thinks of her as her brother in ways, but the fact that Will, someone who is clearly not very experienced with trans people, was annoyed purely because of the medical aspect being hidden from him and when he made an error in his terminology understood it was a mistake and apologised It's a show that goes "not everyone is super knowledgeable and experienced, but ignorance doesn't mean cruelty or disrespect" which I love

[@KingEatable]

when it come to doctor ar anything medical, trans people HAVE to either tell the doctor, or let them find out, cause they will. not only is it extremely important medical information, they need to know your anatomy incase they have to do a surgery, and countless other reason. The doctors arent the police, dont be scared of them.

She must've been taking estrogen when she transitioned but never cycled off when she needed too. So the elevated levels of estrogen within a 9 year period, along with not removing her prostate plus having a family history with cancer did in fact caused her to be at high risk for developing prostate cancer at a young age.

[@andromededp5316]

I never heard of trans women needing to "cycle off" estrogen, and testosterone suppression significantly reduces the risk of prostate cancer (it’s even one of the ways it can be treated). Also, portâtes are almost never removed in trans women due to the risk of urine retention problems that would ensue

[@DeUndefined1]

@andromededp5316 you are right. However, estrogen is a woman hormone, right? If prescribed to a trans woman, she would have to be regularly monitored by a trained professional upon the prevention of any future adverse effects.

[@andromededp5316]

@@DeUndefined1 she should be, yes, but the main worries professionals have are related to the liver (depending on the specific way estrogen is administered), and to ensure healthy hormonal levels are maintained. Feminizing hormone therapy is actually linked to a reduction in prostate cancer risks

[@kittylynndale5264]

As an EMT, it’s been an interesting ride through the changes in healthcare over the past 20 years that I’ve been working. Over the past 2 years our forms have changed to now include different sections for sex and gender, which is fantastic! But we can only treat patients that are completely honest with us. I’ve personally encountered two instances in which a person’s sex at birth had a direct impact on the patient’s health, and both were stomach pain that were directly related to birth sex - I had a female to male patient that had an ectopic pregnancy, and a male to female patient that had testicular torsion. Both are emergencies, and both required full honesty on the patient’s part for us to get them the help that they needed. I understand when a patient is scared and/or unwilling to share the information, but the information is needed for us to make sure we are taking the best care of our patients as possible.

Just like anything in life, it is important to tell doctors the truth about everything. They arent judging you, they just need to know the truth so they can get the correct medical history. I was a heroin addict for years and i always told my doctors the truth about being an addict. Non of them judged me, none of them called the police on me etc. Once i got clean (9 years clean now) i still tell them im a recovering addict so they know my medical history and i make sure they know so nobody accidentally gives me any kind of medication that could risk my recovery etc. Though i am confused, women can get prostate cancer. Its super rare but can happen, unless something else was said during this video that i missed. As for the word "transgender " being offensive, everybody i know who is trans prefers the term "trans" and or "transgender".

[@imaginekey]

For my education-what would be the most respectful/inoffensive way to address an individual who happens to be trans as a healthcare professional? would it be okay to say “as you are transgender, we need to consider conditions related to your biological pre-transition gender?” Is using the term transgender actually offensive?

[@void405]

Nah the term transgender is not offensive especially when you need a yes or no answer for medically relevant information.

[@kiley-el]

the term transgender itself is not at all offensive, the problem in the episode where she becomes upset was likely due to the way halstead said it. when he says "did you know it's offensive to use the word transgender as a noun" that probably means he referred to denise as "a transgender" when talking to her. that's something that many (not all, no group of people will always have the same thoughts) trans people might find offensive. for example, him saying something like "since you are a transgender" instead of "since you are transgender" could be hurtful. it's a small difference but maybe you can see how the first one could sound a bit more dehumanizing or belittling. hope that helped :)

[@malibupromqueen]

as a trans girl myself, the term “transgender” is most definitely not offensive. however referring to an individual as “a transgender” or “that transgender over there” may be off-putting, not just with trans people but any group of people in general.

[@prurido]

it's really something for a lot of us trans people to deal with passability in a healthy way. sometimes we are just completely scared of humiliation. of being marginalised again. it is terrifying. anyway i too think that she shouldn't have hidden her medical records from the staff.

I get that she was scared about revealing her transgenderism. But it was important for doctors to know. Doctors don't judge. They need to know everything to give the best possible care.

[@Rein_]

sadly lots of doctors judge, transgender broken arm syndrome is real, when the doctor blames everything on the hormones.

[@jabaash]

Except doctors do judge. There's a well known thing within the transgender community called "Trans broken arm syndrome". There is a worryingly large amount of doctors who upon learning that the patient is trans, will insist on blaming whatever the person is suffering from, like having a broken arm, being an effect of transitioning or focusing almost entirely on asking irrelevant invasive questions about their gender, no matter how irrelevant they are (to clarify, i don't mean asking about their gender status is always irrelevant, i mean continuing asking more and more questions than is necessary). It is sadly a rather common occurrence with trans people, and because of it, withholding their trans status from doctors generally CAN result in better care sadly, even with the risk of it being relevant. Btw as a side note, i would avoid using the term "transgenderism" in the future, as it is a term used by anti-trans people to paint being trans as an ideology and something that people try to convert you into. I'm sure you didn't mean any offense with it tho, since there's a decent amount of people who aren't aware of it's origins and common usage.

Are they not already loved and accepted by the majority of the west? Also to which comments are you referring to? Because out of the 3 comments I found, one was biblical nonsense, one was vaguely transphobic depending on it's interpretation, and only one was actually transphobic. ONE. The comment was from LoveFromLenore btw: "A MAN has prostate cancer (26 mins ago)" I'm curious to understand why you felt the need to express your opinion in such strong terms.

[@winterwombat]

The issue isn't the word transgender, it's using it as a noun (I talked to **the** transgender in room 12) instead of as an adjective that modifies a noun (I spoke to the transgender woman/man/person/jerk in room 12). It really is a small thing, a perfect example of a micro-aggression, something any reasonable person should be able to just shrug off. Except, the thing with micro-aggressions is that it's never just one, but dozens or hundreds every day, enough to gradually wear down anyone's tolerance. Beyond that, while trans people know that the world is full of well-meaning but clueless people making honest mistakes, we also know that it's full of violent assholes who want to hurt or even kill us for being trans, people who think we're gross just for existing, or people who just have a lot of incorrect ideas about trans people that they're not willing to unlearn. We've all encountered people who seemed perfectly nice, only to transform into huge assholes the second they find out we're trans. That means we're always at least a little on-guard around strangers, always watching for the bad vibes that signal someone might be dangerous, and sometimes we get it wrong. Sometimes we get bad vibes from someone who's just made an innocent mistake, and we decide that protecting ourselves and getting out of that situation is more important than this other person's feelings. It sucks, but it happens because it's often the best of a set of bad options. (It doesn't help that, a lot of the time, the people who very deliberately want to hurt or upset us pretend that they're just making innocent mistakes as cover, but that's a whole other thing.) We're really not looking to get mad or offended. We've just grown used to protecting ourselves in a world that has only barely begun to accept our existence. It can make us a little prickly around people we don't know we can trust, but we're still just normal people underneath.

​@@Calaveraqueen24if we have to pay for advanced stage cancer with subsidized health insurance, then it is the taxpayers concern. As long as they have private health insurance, they can make any body mods they want and I don't care. If I and other taxpayers don't pay for it in any way, I don't care and approve of it.

[@Sapphiresenthiss]

Male =/= man. Female =/= woman. Female and male are our biological sex, aka something no surgery or hormonal treatment can EVER change and admitting that - with no hate, simply from biological/scientific point of view - makes no one a transphobe and denying that makes them delusional. Man and woman are gender - something we identify as. Either 'accordingly' to our sex or not. Trans woman - a MALE who identifies as a WOMAN. Trans man - a FEMALE who identifies as a MAN.
