The height of privilege, the tip of the "oppression Olympics pyramid" is the hospital chose to forgo a very expensive procedure, waste all those professionals' time, so possibly one nurse's feelings don't get hurt.
Hospitals are notorious for acting in vengeful ways towards patients in the best of circumstances
Ugh. I'm not on Twitter anymore either so I hadn't heard about this case yet. It's un-fucking-believable that at this point in the UK a real woman's very real, material healthcare needs were sidelined because she's missing a few inches. 😑
Thank you so much for this. I also have PTSD from sexual assault and I request female dentists because of it. Sounds crazy right? Yet I have been triggered having a root canal done. Think about it. You're laying on your back in a chair, man over you, pain, bright light, can't move.... Yikes. Next thing I know I can't breathe, I'm in the corner and vomiting. The dentist called in staff he was frightened and didn't know what I would do. It was embarrassing as all hell.
I can't imagine being told I was a transphobe for not wanting to experience something like that again.

That's impressively evil.
So, what does "TRA" stand for? "Trans Radical Asshole"?

I think that hospital fits my definition of being evil. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe they’re just incredibly stupid or huge cowards.
