This week’s reading had many problems that society today still faces such as discrimination against transgenders and Black women in the health care system. While reading “12 Reasons It Should Be Illegal for Doctors Not to Treat Trans People” by Diana Tourjée, it safe to say I was not shocked because it been a topic of discussion amongst my friend and me. I have never experienced the discrimination my friends have but when they speak on it and express not only their sadness but how uncomfortable they felt when they were treated like that, in a way that made them feel naked I tend to feel their pain and makes me feel privileged. I appreciated Diana Tourjée’s examples of people who do not support the HHS allowing federally funded healthcare providers and insurers to legally deny care to transgender people. As for “A Birth Story” by Dána-Ain Davis, Cheyenne Varner & LeConté J. Dill, it was new to me because I was unaware the kind of discrimination Black women face in healthcare settings. I am a medical assistant at an urgent care and could not picture ever treating or even witnessing someone treating a patient with disrespect. LeConté J. Dill’s poem was wonderful in describing the feelings she was facing during that time, the illustrates add to the poem and makes it a great piece to understand as well as visualize the struggle that Black women go through not just in normal life but healthcare too. Overall, the readings gave me a better understanding that discrimination in healthcare is still going on today and since my career is being part of helping those who need it, I will always be encouraged to be fair.
