Just read through some of the replies to this thread. So many OMAB people
-insisting they’re women/female,
-suggesting that a woman who has been raped and has therefore asked for a female health worker “hasn’t made it clear enough that she is triggered by male bodies”
-must accept that all the other medics in a clinic believe that transitioning actually means that an OMAB person is really female (thus implying the woman’s understanding of biology is incorrect - gaslighting at its most unpleasant)
-suggesting anyone who asks for a woman and doubts that an OMAB person is a woman “must want to inspect genitals
The extent of the boundary pushing makes me feel physically sick. There is no respect whatsoever for the women who express their discomfort, only repetition of “well I’m a victim too”.
I can’t face replying on Twitter. I’ve blocked the most unpleasant. I wanted both to express my discomfort and extend my sympathy to all the women who are affected by this.
