Transgender Rights

[B]

We're talking about doctors refusing to perform the specialty of the clinic in which the work.

[BurtReynolds]

That isn't a problem you need to worry about. At all.

[Mickey]

Guarantee if, for instance, you no longer permitted pharmacists to refuse Plan B on personal moral grounds, the number of pharmacists nationwide who quit in protest would be less than 500.

[BurtReynolds]

Libs should totally embrace cancelling doctors like they're useless celebrities. That will go very well.

[Mickey]

Keep tilting at those windmills, you'll get one one day.

God damn it, Bammer!

[Bammer]

Burt’s just bammin’ around.

By the way this is me posting without being fully informed and I should probably just exit the thread now.

You examples, Bammer. We're talking about people working at a clinic specializing in trans supportive surgery.

If your knee surgeon works at an ankle clinic, he should quit and find a better job.

Admitting ignorance, but isn't this much ado about nothing? The odds of a surgeon who opposes gender affirming surgeries on religious grounds while working at a clinic specializing in trans supportive surgery would seem to be vanishingly small.

Given the context (which I am absolutely not going to research any further), can we assume that there were doctors on staff at Vanderbilt prior to the establishment of this clinic? It's a big university hospital system.

More broadly, I don't think there should be any grounds for religious exceptions for medical and pharmacist staff (comes up a lot more frequently with abortion, obviously). If you're not okay with all parts of the job, get a different one.

Who decides what is part of the job? If a doctor has an issue with abortion (to use your example, which is obv the biggest), for whatever reason, religious or not, is that not ok? To borrow from the knee/ankle example, we assume this doc doesn’t work at planned parenthood or an abortion clinic.

And would the doctor in question here be able to approve some gender reassignment surgeries and not others based on his/her opinion, informed by their education AND personal ethics?

How is this supporting kids struggling with identity?

[B]

That, my friend, is disturbing.

what a creep

[simple schoolboy]

How could you not support a brave surgeon providing gender affirming care?

[B]

Fuck, you won. Time to shut down Boston Children's Hospital.

[simple schoolboy]

If any of her patients later desist, insurance is probably not going to cover breast reconstruction.

Religion vs gender ID, a sticky wicket:

There must be an age until which parental rights are maintained and Kindergartners should be in that range.

There must be an age until which parental rights are maintained and Kindergartners should be in that range.

Hate to break it to you but at least two of those were used mid1970s

[B]

You say, "a system for facilitating child sexual transitions,"

I say, "a system for facilitating child preferences, including gender,"

Potato, Potato, Tomato, Tomato,

Let's call the whole thing off.

State employees do not get to rename your five year old. This is not a controversial concept.
