Once transgenderism is recognized as the mental disorder it truly is then those with this disease will find protection under the Americans with Disabilities Acts. Until then they are just some weirdos wanting special rights.

Like the far right Fundamental Christians?

Good point, but the Dr. would have to be very knowledgeable with the hormone treatments, and other problems that arise with surgery and treatments.

I don't know anything about those people. You will need to form your own opinion.

More like Catholics.

I'll give you a hint. You probably don't want to go looking for sex re-assignment surgery at a Catholic hospital. You probably don't want to go looking for an abortion of convenience there either although they may do medically necessary ones (ectopic pregnancy).

I get that you hate transgender people and feel they are inferior to you, but they already have protections as U.S. citizens. As U.S. citizens, they deserve to be treated when they go to doctors for illness like anyone else.

You mean like when women such as myself undergo hysterectomies and are on hormone replacement therapy? Yes, there are plenty of doctors who can deal with this.

No. Forcing a doctor to go against his or her beliefs in provision of care is what is being argued. Health care providers have long had freedom of conscience where things like abortion (another topic that fell under this set of rules) are concerned.

What type of care would go against a doctor's religious beliefs?

You want to play the game of calling certain people "mentally ill" I can play the same game too.

You apparently don't know anything about transgender people either.

I'm guessing that a male that has had surgery to remove things, and then is on hormones to grow things may have a specific need from a well versed Dr. in such things.
Just guessing.

Is every transgender person the exact same mentally? Do they all behave the same? Do they all think as one block? I ask because you seem to know so much about them

To treat something like the flu? I don't think so.

How is transgenderism against Religion exactly???

What Religion?

No. Forcing a doctor to go against his or her beliefs in provision of care is what is being argued. Health care providers have long had freedom of conscience where things like abortion (another topic that fell under this set of rules) are concerned.

The left apparently thinks they have learned from that mistake and are moving to make sure no one is free to refuse the dictates of government and conscientiously object. Think about this long and hard ... it could set a precedent for conscientious objector rules in the military too.

Oh and speaking of military, the military doesn't force its own doctors to do what the government wants to force civilian doctors to do.

Sooooo, you can't answer the question I asked?

That's all you had to say. Better yet you could have said what you said without replying to me because it had nothing to do with what I asked.

Freedom of conscience?

That's a little different than freedom of religion, is it not?

You don't have to be religious to be against abortion or, on topic, transgenderism?

a federal directive that required public schools to let transgender students use bathrooms consistent with their gender identity.

How does this affect Religious practice, and what's it got to do with abortion?

There are valid studies that show that transgender surgery may not be a treatment though. The subject is controversial for a reason and it doesn't necessarily have to do with just not wanting to serve those icky transfolk, but also about not wanting to slice off healthy, functional body parts and drastically alter metabolisms with hormone therapy where it may not actually be indicated or therapeutic in any physical sense.

Citation needed (other than your well established bias). One that isn't from McHugh or some other religious nutters or a misinterpretation of the Karolinska Institute (the "Swedish Study") data.

Some transgender people don't have any surgery and some have many. Only 10% of the people that transition to living full time as the gender "opposite" from their natal sex have genital reconstruction so trans healthcare is a lot more involved than simply that.

Doctors are not psychologists. They treat the physical body, and they are supposed to "do no harm" which is sort of what a transgender surgery may be doing.

Following the free to download Standards of Care as laid out by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), three months of psychological evaluation and testing are recommended prior to a doctor even prescribing low dose hormones so you really don't know what you're talking about although you've made your opinion quite clear time and time again.

Let's spin this headline another way:

That's right, you don't think so.

There could be major implications to someone's health, and the way drugs interact. I would think that a Dr. that is well trained with the different treatments and the immune system.

Like I said, I don't know a whole lot of things about this.

That's funny because I had sex reassignment surgery IN a Catholic hospital with nuns and everything, in 1977 no less. Mt. San Rafael Hospital in Trinidad, Colorado, formerly known as the Sex Change Capital of the world.
