"Patients donned pink gowns. Cutouts of pink bras were plastered on the walls. A sign urged patients to 'fight like a girl.' 'Things like that are just incredibly disorienting for someone going into those spaces who is always being reminded, hey, this wasn’t designed for you,' Brooks said. 'You’re not really sure if you should disclose to these people that you’re trans or not.' Brooks identifies as nonbinary and transgender, but as someone who was assigned female at birth, they share similar health needs as cisgender women for gynecologic care and screenings for chest health as they age...."
From "For trans people, medical visits can be more traumatizing than healing/Trans patients share their stories of subtle discrimination, outright hostility and ill-informed medical professionals" (WaPo).
Is everything woman-specific now going to be characterized as unfriendly or even wrong and toxic?! After fighting for so long to get special attention for women's health issues, are we now going to be forbidden to say "women"? After calling so much attention to breast cancer, are we supposed to feel bad about saying "breast"?! How much will be taken in the name of inclusion? I think women tend to want to be terribly empathetic and kind, so please be careful about how much you demand. Perhaps you should gracefully accept the hospital's earnest decor and efforts at mood-boosting. There are plenty of us cis-women who could also take offense at pink gowns and cutouts of pink bras "plastered" on the walls, but we tolerate it, and we're — many of us — mostly glad there are hospitals and well-meaning health care workers.

Agree. Send them our tranny “admiral” to sort things out. Just tell them to STFU and leave those of us without mental probems alone.
I’m down with that.
So being a woman is anti trans
Good to know
If it is, I would run out the door and run far far away.
“Chest health”
Let that sink in. Practicing medicine on something you’re not allowed to even utter.
That’s medieval.
“Perhaps you should gracefully accept the hospital’s earnest decor and efforts at mood-boosting.”
Perhaps the mentally disordered should seek an honest psychiatrist.
Nothing will ever satisfy these people. Excluding them is wrong, but it’s wrong to include them with their chosen gender too. It’s patronizing to humor them in their delusions, but it’s hostile to deny those delusions. Nothing will ever make them happy, because they are incapable of happiness.
No such thing as trans people.
I believe the term is TERF: Transphobic Extreme Radical Feminist.
The utter insanity…
Udders?
It’s Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist - but your way works, too. :)
“Chest health.” Seriously, WTF, CHEST HEALTH?! So I’m no longer allowed to say my beloved wife died from BREAST CANCER?!
I suppose I’m no longer allowed to say “my” or “wife” as those imply ownership and confining cisgender roles, or some such $#!+.
I hope Brooks feels so disoriented she quits the charade and resigns.
“Trans people” are the biggest pussies ever.
In Canada they’re providing medically assisted suicide as “treatment” for people with insoluble psychiatric and emotional issues. If they were to expand the list of insoluble disorders to include gender dysphoria, I’d have trouble arguing against it.
I’ve yet to meet a “trans” person who wasn’t eating antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds like Skittles. Except for the ones who are one anti-psychotics.
Who would have guessed 20 years ago that we would end up on the same side as the radical Lesbians.
