    Right. He used a phrasing that has been deem socially unaccaptable in the western world for less then 10 years after he, for good reason, got angry at someone. Bring out the gallows.

    Can you seriously just ignore the other side of the story because of that? Because I find her action much more baffeling.

    “I told her that I’m not competent, but I can guide you. I can refer you to services that can take better care of you.” […] "I thought I was being honest when I said it wasn’t my speciality. I don’t know how to treat them […]

    That is a very reasonable response he gave at first. Now, what kind of person would insist to be treated by a doctor that just said he’s not qualifed? And then get angry at the doctor for it?

    It’s so absurd, I’m seriously considering if this whole thing wasn’t just staged, literally real life trolling. Otherwise she’d have to be some kind of super Karen.

      It’s considered socially unacceptable because transphobia hurts other trans women, completely unrelated to their little conflict. The collateral damage is the problem.

      I want you to think about how other trans women feel about his comments on trans women in general. He didn’t just retaliate against a rude woman. He hurt us all.
