Jesica Rodriguez – Reflection 11

My thoughts on medical oppression are that there is an overview of discrimination and inequality in health care. Some of it is classism, ageism, racism, non-English speakers, homophobia, sexism, and non-compliant patients. As I was reading the article, 12 reasons it should be illegal for doctors not to treat trans people, I was a bit shocked at the new rule that was proposed by the department of health and human service that could make medical care for transgender people. I mean I feel like no matter how you classify yourself or whatsoever everyone should seek medical attention. people who are non-binary and transgender people should deserve access to healthcare without the fear of discrimination. Once again we are all humans we should deserve the rights that all humans have. Nobody should ever live with this fear. Transgender people are people. A lot of those who are transgender are having a hard time obtaining life-saving care.
