Since you are too lazy and dishonest I'll just try to find it on my own to see what you are talking about.

Who is disputing that? The only thing the rule enforces is that the doctors treat people equally. Nothing to do with medical procedures and surgeries.
But in future...you ain't ought not to respond to no thread unless you've read everything.
You think a brain tumor or heart condition or lung cancer or a stomach ache is treated differently based on what gender someone identifies with?

That is the claim the OP and the article have made. Pay attention.

So I finally found it NINE pages back about "dirty bins". Apparently it's something you guys were joking around with. So I have wasted my time. Sighs.

I smell some transphobia here. Yes I went there.
A doctor can treat even gender specific diseases and still use the person's preferred pronouns.
I don't agree that they should be vulnerable to lawsuits over pronouns, but, I also do not think it's unreasonable to refer to someone using the pronouns they prefer.

OK, but how is the doctor supposed to help the patient better understand their illness and treatment options without mentioning anything related to their biological sex? Men and women are different on a cellular level.
What if there's an experimental treatment aimed at males that might prove as a life/death opportunity in terms of its value to the patient? Would the doctor be "insensitive" for trying to get the patient into the trials?
There really is a point when reality just slams a person in the face, hard.
