    Ah. I must have missed that. In that case it’s a little more understandable. He just got pissed off and snapped. Even so you need to be a little more thick skinned than that if you want to be a doctor. I don’t know all of the details of course but he still shouldn’t have sunk to insults.

      […] you need to be a little more thick skinned than that if you want to be a doctor.

      Why?

        I understand doctors are humans too, and presume that is your reason for questioning “Why?”.

        But in defense of doctors being more “thick skinned”, I think patients are generally the more vulnerable side as they are usually the ones with issues. If every doctor they come to snaps at them, they start to lose trust in healthcare providers.

          It’s not wrong what you are saying, but it’s unrealistic. Being “thick skinned” is almost always useful and almost never required. There’s not enough doctors already, and only so many “thick skinned” people. Becoming a medical doctor already requires a set of skills, that only a subset of humans have; adding being “thick skinned” as a requirement is simply naive.

        I think they’re simply both assholes here.

        The trans person who flipped out and verbally abused the doctor/receptionist for referring them elsewhere when the doctor is specifically a women’s reproductive health doctor and the trans woman has no female reproductive system is an asshole.

        The doctor who responded to this by going online and calling her a “man who shaved his beard” is also an asshole.

        They can both be true.

      nah, that’s a bullshit excuse. I’ve been furious enough to wreak physical violence, and even in that state I haven’t gone to a bigoted well.
