I sit here waiting for Nick with tears in my eyes.
He was telling me about his girlfriend Lily. She thinks she has diabetes. She’s trying to gather evidence to go to the doctor.
Why would she have to prove to the doctor that she has a disease, isn’t that the doctors job?
The reason is transphobia. Doctors are more inclined to blame the patient than to do their job and treat medical conditions.
This is absolutely heartbreaking.
