Transgender Exception Kit
Transgender folk, no matter which kind should be ready to be their own advocates. These things mostly happen out of ignorance and not prejudice. Recently, I had an incident regarding my use of Estrogen, but when I explained it to the Doctor, he was more than happy.

Problem
A great article and a major problem for the hospital. My view is to go with how the person see them self , ask first if the person can answer the give them a room they feel comfortable being in . The room mate can be another issue how do you answer that ?
The comments were as interesting as the article
and shows that we have a very long way to get acceptance or understanding from many people.
