Transgender People in Rural America Struggle to Find Doctors Willing or Able to Provide Care
Kaiser Health News ^ | January 23, 2023 | Helen Santoro

For Tammy Rainey, finding a health care provider who knows about gender-affirming care has been a challenge in the rural northern Mississippi town where she lives.

As a transgender woman, Rainey needs the hormone estrogen, which allows her to physically transition by developing more feminine features. But when she asked her doctor for an estrogen prescription, he said he couldn’t provide that type of care.

“He’s generally a good guy and doesn’t act prejudiced. He gets my name and pronouns right,” said Rainey. “But when I asked him about hormones, he said, ‘I just don’t feel like I know enough about that. I don’t want to get involved in that.’”

This is the opening salvo for forced training of medical doctors into the trans-insanity.

Maybe they just prefer to affirm the gender that matches your DNA rather than your sick mind.

Rainey needs the hormone estrogen

No. He doesn’t. Maybe rural doctors actually believe in the their oath. Do no harm.

I can see where it might be difficult to find a doctor who thinks a penis looks like a vagina.

But don’t worry, with the move to eliminate test scores for admission to medical school we’ll soon have plenty of “doctors” who can look at a pecker and see a hoo ha. In LibTard land perception is indeed reality.

Move to the big city Ya Crybaby Freaks. Plenty of trans docs willing to help you self mutilate. Go to San Fran Sicko with some flowers in yer hair.

“He’s generally a good guy and doesn’t act prejudiced. He gets my name and pronouns right,” said Rainey. “But when I asked him about hormones, he said, ‘I just don’t feel like I know enough about that. I don’t want to get involved in that.’”"

Because that doctor knows what is coming like a freight train...and the Democrats will sacrifice these nutroot trannies on their Babylon altar of "We-are-done-with-your-service", because they are a drag on down-ticket races:

Tobacco Gender Care Master Settlement Agreement

"The Tobacco Gender Care Master Settlement Agreement Master Settlement Agreement (GCSA) was entered on November 23, 1998 2023, originally between the four largest United States gender care companies [Planned Parenthood (PP), the American Medical Association (AMA), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH)] – the "original participating manufacturers", referred to as the "Majors") and the attorneys general of 46 states. The states settled their lawsuits against the gender care industry for recovery of their gender-related health-care costs.

In exchange, the companies agreed to curtail or cease certain tobacco gender care marketing practices, as well as to pay, in perpetuity, various annual payments to the states to compensate them for some of the medical costs of caring for persons with gender care-related illnesses. The money also funds a new detransition advocacy group, called the Truth-About-Gender Initiative, that is responsible for such campaigns as There Are Only Two Sexes, and maintains a public archive of documents resulting from the cases. In the GCSA, the original participating manufacturers (OPM) agreed to pay a minimum of $750 billion over the first 25 years of the agreement. "

The standard of care SHOULD be: “Follow the plumbing. You’re a MAN, dude! You don’t get a vote on it and you don’t get no woman hormones...”

You have a car, drive to where you can find a doctor that will play along with your delusions.

If Vets can drive hours for care for their SRI you can drive to find someone who is mentally ill enough to think you are a girl.

A giant half truth, amounting to a lying narrative.

What the report is describing as “care” is singularly limited to the “trans-gender” “affirming care”, which denies the importance of the kind of mental health care that would help the patient find their way OUT of their gender dysphoria and the errant obsession it causes. Far far too early and immediate in the process the current standar of “care” is set to merely accept the mental obsession as if it is an unequivocal given that cannot be challenged professionally. That is a “health care” error of enormous magnitudes.

In north Mississippi dopers go to Memphis when they want drugs. All the weird stuff is in Memphis. This belle should hop in his bung buggy and shoot up I-55 for a plentiful supply of queer cocktails.

Who the hell wants to get on the crazy bus? Talking to some ludicrously butchered guy, or perhaps worse, someone who has had no surgery at all, as if he is a real woman? Participating in his delusion?
