Imagine the shame that a person, particularly a young person, might internalize living in a society where doctors can turn them away on “moral” (
) grounds. Imagine what that might do to their confidence, their sense of self. It’s evil.

Shame has been one of my big struggles. I wasn’t even consciously aware of it for so long, the fear I felt around strangers, the discomfort I carried with me everywhere worrying that my presence was making others uncomfortable…and feeling that it was my fault!

And it was life in a transphobic society that did that to me, that made me feel like I was wrong, embarrassing, shameful, like I had to hide myself away. I hate that young people today are being sent the same terrible messages.

If any doctor ever refused to treat any of these politicians on 'moral grounds', all hell would break loose.
