The extension shinigami eyes is back.

Quick context: the extension allows you to see which profiles are supportive or transphobic and it wasn’t updated for 2 years.

I was worried it was abandoned. Hopefully we can get Ecosia and Lemmy supported and have it expanded it to cover racist/sexist profiles soon. I would like to donate to the developer if I could.

It is my favourite Firefox extension because it would protect you from seeing all the hate online and prevent unintentionally supporting a slimy transphobe😡 and it literally reveals to you people’s true colours.

I'll get back to you on that, but just to be clear transphobia on a medical level is more about gaslighting trans people and / or denying them the treatment they need.

The doctor in question could also campaign against allowing trans rights, spread misinformation or personally deny them a referral to get the treatment they need.

Wait times for trans-specific procedures can be astronomical compared to other procedures in the same country. Think years in wait time.

I don't think most trans people complain about doctors mentioning what genitals or conditions they may have in 1-1 conversations.

All of that said, I am not trans myself, so I'm not the right person to ask. It's best to ask trans people themselves about their experiences in the healthcare industry, but they have unique challenges.

Wait, if a doctor refuse a legitimate treatment to a person he must be banned from the profession. That the person who had the treatment refused is a trans is completely irrelevant.

I think that what a doctor does in its free time is somewhat irrelevant as long as it do not interfere with his job, but I see your point.

or personally deny them a referral to get the treatment they need.

Then this doctor is a danger to everyone, trans or not, and need to be banned from the profession.

If the trans-specific procedures is a life-saving one, then it is wrong on so many level, else maybe it is just a problem of resource allocation.

Me neither, I simply think that a trans is just another human being, just with a different set of problems, and must be treated this way. As long as trans don't try to impose me their ideas I simply think live and let live.
