Any port in a storm
So what’s he supposed to do? Where, exactly, does he put the speculum?
A French gynecologist has been sanctioned by medical authorities after a trans activist group reported him to the Minister of Equality for comments which they deemed to be “transphobic.” Dr. Victor Acharian, who operates in the Pau region, has been prohibited from practicing medicine for five months, with an additional one-month probationary period.
In August 2023, a trans-identified male and his partner visited Dr. Acharian’s office in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. After a few minutes of waiting, the secretary told the man that the doctor had refused to see him.
“I told her that I’m not competent, but I can guide you. I can refer you to services that can take better care of you. But after I said that, things went south,” gynaecologist Victor Acharian told Euronews, while referring to the trans-identified male with feminine pronouns.
Result: lots of free publicity for the enterprising tranz laydee, lots of pestering and nagging and suspension from work for the naughty gynecologist.
The question remains unanswered; just exactly what did the tranz laydee expect the gynecologist to do?
Presumably something other than gynecology that he would pretend actually was gynecology, like some sort of grotesque magical teaparty.
It’s still gender-affirming medical care even if it’s pure pantomime.
There should be a Jules Feiffer cartoon about that.
If only Jules Feiffer hadn’t died. :-(
