Genspect have just raised my awareness of the current WPATH 2022 conference going on and can be followed on twitter via the above hashtag. For anyone interested.

Thanks.

Following with interest. And growing levels of "fucking hell"

Kamilla Kamaruddin doesn't always tell their patients that they are male and now performs intimate examinations on women, which makes Dr Kamaruddin so happy.

But it was my patients who took me by surprise the most. No one was hostile towards me. Some thought I was the wife of Dr Kamaruddin, me, their doctor, and a lot of them thought that I was a new GP. The new patients did not ask any questions at all because they either thought I was a female GP or it did not bother them at all that I was a transgender doctor.

A lot of my patients were quite conservative — many female patients wore long clothes, or the hijab — but they allowed me to examine them despite my change. In fact, after my transition, they even allowed me to perform more intimate examinations that they did not let me to do when I was a male GP. Every single one of them refused my offer of a chaperone even when they knew that I am transgender. After the positive experience on my first day back to work, I remembered having tears in my eyes during my drive home. I was overwhelmed with emotions, and they were tears of happiness. I could not recall the last time I felt this happy.

Ugh. What sort of doctor talks like that. Being 'allowed' to touch patients intimately shouldn't be bringing tears to a doctors eyes.

Bleugh.

Ugh. Grim. Ignoring women’s boundaries and blurring consent to satisfy your own needs. There’s a name for males like that. 🤬

Not on Twitter proper so can't link, but this is one of the tweets.
Someone else commented wondering what sex work has to do with WPATH. Does anyone understand this?

“Sex work is work” 👏🏼 what a great statement to hear walking into the start of #WPATH2022. Can’t wait for all the discussions on #SexualHealth and #ReproductiveHealth to help promote sexual wellbeing among TGD folks.
