Transphobia Is Still Prevalent

Hello everyone, I’m here to talk to you about an issue that happened recently that, my god, hurts.

:x: this is has a lot of mentions transphobic things and if you are sensitive to that this is a warning :x:

Recently there has been news revolving around a trans man who took himself to the hospital when he was in pain.

After telling the nurse he was transgender, they didn’t see it necessary for any immediate medical care to be given to him. They noted that he had stopped taking his blood pressure medication, and that he was obese and that was that.

Except it wasn’t anything to do with either of the things they had taken note on.

Instead they later found out that he was pregnant and in labor. He hadn’t had a period and years and his doctors most likely hadn’t told him he could get pregnant on T because he had no idea.

He took a pregnancy test at home, thought it was a mistake it read positive, and ’peed’ himself which was most likely his water breaking.

After someone finally helped him they found out that he was pregnant and that the umbilical cord had slipped into the birth canal.

Doctors took action in an emergency C-section but it was too late and he delivered a stillborn.

This is a horribly tragic event, and to think that people used this to preach about how he was a woman, and that this was society’s fault. Is disgusting.

To find articles, saying shit like it was in any way his fault, that because the doctors thought he was a man his child died.

To see titles like

To have to read something so awful, that they insist on using the female pronoun. Acting as if this poor man just living his life asked for any of this by being trans. That a nurse who had found that since he was obese he wasn’t a top priority. He could have been in pain because something else’s serious happened. It didn’t have to be a pregnancy, and the nurse just didn’t find it important.

To see that people are actually blaming society, for the death of a child. That someone could rightfully put God’s name in a paragraph with such hate.

I’m sorry this is such a rant, but I really wanted to share my feelings about this situation. And I wanted others to know about this, so that stuff like this doesn’t happen again.
