Getting healthcare is complicated

It Is Complicated

Getting healthcare is complicated - what script can we use? We talk about getting healthcare/medical interventions and the experiences we have had. We talk about ‘Trans broken arm” (or in one of our cases Trans Broken leg), and while sometimes we think we’ve had privilege - we find out we didn’t.

Content Note: We discuss medical procedures and transphobic treatment

We talk about a script of three questions to make interacting with healthcare as a trans/non-binary/gender non-conforming person better.

- What pronoun do you prefer?

- What hormones do you make and which do you take?

- Would you want a bottle or a pan?

This is written up more here: https://drjharrison.github.io/portfolio/genderfluid-the-solution/

If you want to have more discussion on Jesus Fucking Karen! We recommend watching Lindsay Ellis on Transphobia in the media (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHTMidTLO60&t=3004s) and ContrePoints (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gDKbT_l2us) on JK Rowling

Honestly - after both of those wonderful videos - we feel we have flogged this dead horse sufficiently to move along - for now.

We now will end on a positive note - discussing how Keanu Reeves is Breathtaking
