French Gynaecologist Suspended for refusing to treat a TW

Despite telling the TW it wasn’t his area of expertise and offering to refer him he’s deemed transphobic apparently.

FFS make this BS stop

How ridiculous! Meanwhile women are unable to visit this gynaecologist whom they may have been receiving treatment from and felt comfortable with. I don’t know how many women this will have affected but it’s more than one I’m sure.
Women suffering for a man’s ego? Surely not?!

I suspect its less to do with him turning her away due to lack of expertise for trans women & more due fo his public transpobic response on social media

On December 16, 2024, the Conseil National de l’Ordre des Médecins sentenced Acharian to a five-month suspension, followed by a one-month probationary period. During that time, if the gynecologist is found to have engaged in transphobia or denied another trans-identified male patient, he would be sanctioned again.

WTAF??? So a highly trained doctor who specialises in reproductive and genital health for biological women must accept men as patients otherwise bf punished! JFC

Speaking the truth is being punished everywhere. Of course it's legitimate for a gynaecologist to refuse to treat a man presenting with male organs or a facsimile of a woman's body.
This shows it's the only way men are able to wedge their way into women's spaces and services - by using threats and intimidation.

How can a gynae treat someone without female reproductive organs.
They would look at the genital area, say, 'there is no vagina, they need to be treated by a urologist or male GUM expert.'
Utterly bizarre.

What transphobia was that? I can see in the image above that he refers to men and women, but as any doctor, surely he has to accurately identify his patients’ sex?!

Quite! Hadn’t crossed anybody’s mind (apparently 🙄) that the prospective patient is only in this for the sexual thrill?!

Yep. So actual women who need to visit him are unable to for 5/6 months due to an entitled men stamping his feet.

This is all far too familiar

I'm going to go against the grain and say that his message, as shown in the image above, is unnecessarily rude and dismissive. It says:

SIR,
I am a gynaecologist and I look after real women. I am not qualified to look after MEN, even if they shave their beard and come to tell my secretary that they have become women. My GYNAECOLOGICAL examination table is not adapted for examining men. You have specialised and extremely competent services to look after men like you.

Whilst I understand the factual position that a gynaecologist works with female reproductive organs, to repeatedly refer to the client as a man, sir and so on is inflammatory and not particularly helpful to anyone.

I find nothing wrong with that response whatsoever. It sounds more exasperated than offensive, it could be the man tried many times to make an appointment but wouldn't take no for an answer.

Why should anyone pacify these men? The message is factual. I am heartily sick of having to tiptoe around these men and their 'special' feelings; a dose of reality is what is needed.

How is it inflammatory to refer to a man as a man? It's just stating a fact. This man shouldn't have been wasting the gynaecologist's time by demanding an appointment.

It's time everyone stopped pandering to these entitled men's demands and participating in their fantasies.

I despair at the idea that it can be inflammatory for a doctor who specialises in sex-specific medicine to refer to someone as their biological sex.

Thank goodness I work with spreadsheets.

I can't see much wrong with that, except that biological might have been better substituted for real.

Should the Dr have played along with it and asked if the TWs periods were regular or would that just have given the TW a thrill?

It might have just been better to say 'Sorry, my appointment book is full', and quietly refer the TW to a male specialist? Assuming that there is a medical need which needs treating.

Should the Dr have played along with it and asked if the TWs periods were regular or would that just have given the TW a thrill?

I think we all know the answer to that.

I disagree. He retaliated to having someone who wasn’t his patient base wasting an appointment that someone else could have had and having ‘transphobe’ screamed at him across is office for refusing to play along with the delusion,

I'm fluent in French and the tone of his message is extremely aggressive and doesn't just say that he is not qualified to treat the patient.

I thought this sounded familiar, this kicked off in 2023, I think there was a bit of news about it at the time and a thread.

It seems he's now been told he has to treat men or they'll be consequences. I doubt we've heard the last of this. He'll be targeted now. Unless he bows before the altar of gender and manages to avoid harming a patient he lacks competence to treat.

I do wonder if this letter was the first time this fellow had been told no.

It reads a bit differently if the receptionists or booking staff had already relayed this information - maybe more than once - and he insisted on hearing from the doctor.

Everything he says is true though. I just get a tone that comes across as totally frustrated with this person "trying it on" because that is exactly what they did. Maybe if he had used the word biological instead of real, it would have fewer holes to pick in it. Overall it's fine to me.

But he's not been suspended for 'being aggressive' he's been suspended for being 'transphobic '.

I can't see what is aggressive about it. Is it the use of capitals?

It was also written in response to a poor online review. How much are other people expected to tiptoe around the sensibilities of these people when they leave poor reviews?

It's direct, but isn't that just called being French rather than being transphobic?

He told the patient face to face that he wasn’t the right person to treat him to which the response was the patient and their partner screaming transphobe across the office followed by a scathing review.
The responses from the doctor was in retaliation to the drama caused by the entitled patient and partner and I see it as exasperation rather than aggression.

My bolding. So basically he's being forced to treat any other trans-identified male coming in. And a five month suspension?? For tellling the truth??
