A trans woman is shedding light on the absolute fury that arose when her own gynecologist refused to see her.
The woman shared how she was judged by the medical care expert before even meeting her and that left her so upset.
The irate trans woman created an entire fiasco related to the situation and is now demanding legal action against the doctor who failed to justify her actions.
Jessica Yaniv who hails from Canada mentioned more about the matter on Twitter and how she felt shocked, confused, and just mistreated.
“I’m so hurt, how is this behavior okay? This is a medical issue that I’m dealing with and to have doctors behave this way is acceptable”- she shared.
The 32-year-old says it’s hard to get referrals as it is and now to have a gynecologist’s office refuse her application or deny an appointment because they don’t accept or treat trans patients left her shocked.
Many viewers online condemned the behavior and asked if that was usual practice because it certainly didn’t sound legal. What do you think?
The woman is now planning on filing legal complaints against the practice and wants to raise more awareness on the issue and how it’s not okay.
12-Year-Old Girl Is In A COMA After Vaping ‘Weakened’ Her Lungs
A young girl was left fighting for her life after vaping ruined her chances of recovering from a life-threatening infection.
12-year-old Sarah Griffin is an asthma sufferer who ended up in a coma after suffering an infection and being unable to fight it as a result of her lungs being weakened by vaping.
The girl’s shocked mother revealed that the child was rushed to the ER after struggling to breathe. Doctors found that her oxygen levels were extremely low, and they put her in an induced coma to help her body battle her lung infection.
The girl has since been discharged from the hospital and is recovering at home after her near-death experience.
“The doctors explained if Sarah had not been vaping, she would have been in a better position to fight off the infection,” her mother, Mary, said.
“The doctors said if Sarah had have got to the hospital any later the outcome would have been entirely different. That is something I can’t even think about.”
Recalling the time her daughter was hospitalized following struggles breathing, the devastated mom added:
“There were tubes, wires, and machines everywhere — it was heartbreaking to see her like that. As her mum I just felt so helpless. It was a nightmare come true. Sarah has an older brother and two younger siblings and trying to explain to them what was happening was awful.
“They were asking if she was going to die, and I was saying, ‘Of course not,’ but in my mind I was terrified that was a real possibility.”
Sarah’s family has since spoken out and vowed to push for a change in legislation that would see young children protected from vaping devices which can be both across the UK for as little as $5 a piece. Some gadgets are also being advertised or disguised as kid-friendly and sold next to sweets.
“The biggest misunderstanding about vapes is that they are harmless compared to cigarettes,” Fidelma Carter of the Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke said.
“This is not true, and this message needs to change to prevent more young people from taking up and getting addicted to vaping because they think they are risk-free.
“The long-term health implications are unknown – just as they once were with tobacco.”
