Kristie Overstreet : What doctors should know about gender identity


Kristie Overstreet at TEDxLivoniaCCLibrary  (transcript)
What doctors should know about gender identity
Summary
I thought hard that the patients who are transgender had to be treated as female or male while reading the story. However, l was sorry that my thought was wrong in the first place.

It’s to think that there are only two genders that are male and female is wrong but there are those two and whiteout those that are transgender is also wrong.

In the first place, it’s in the first place. In the first place, we had been just assigned a sex at birth based on our genitalia. A most important thing is that someone is assigned male at birth, though, that person lives her life with a sense of self as a female is female. Thus she visits gynecology hospital.

1) For doctors attention: it happens the opposite thing that a person is assigned female but she lives as a male. We call her transgender male but he also visits gynecology hospital for his health care so doctors have to treat those patients with the correct pronouns and name and have to give dignity and respect. It's highly likely that the rest of the staff will do too. Doctors can’t say that it’s not trained on how to care for.

The speaker tells us who might not see them yet that we have to understand it well, we have a new way of thinking about transgender, and it will be better for us to be separated with three groups. It's doctors, transgender communities, and the rest of us of the group.

2) For transgender communities attention: in the transgender community, people need to be empowered to speak up for their health care needs. It’s because their health care is not known by many people.

3) For the rest of us attention: even we have to think that a transgender individual is human, just like you and us. people competent and trained health care provider, just like you and us. 

The last sentence of the speaker means that transgender people are already changing, doctors are in the change, and the rest of us will face soon. This is one kind of change in the world. The title show doctors, but all people give dignity and respect to all people as humans.
