So a trans man, being fully biological female ends on ER. The personnel shouldn’t refer to them as female and instead give them the treatment intended for males?
It’s about precision and safety to use a correct language in the correct contexts. When talking to the patient, they should obviously not call them a woman or utilise a dead name. But that’s a social context. Not a medical biological relevant one
“Biological male” and “biological female” are transphobic slurs. The correct term is cis, which means on the same side, in contrast to trans which means across.
If that trans man is on HRT, he will be better served by medical interventions intended for men than women. That is how HRT works. Cells only know sex from the hormones. Change your hormones, you change how every cell in your body behaves.
In the case of an ER, trans people will almost always refuse to disclose that they are trans, or will outright deny it. That is the only way to get good care from doctors who are not experts in trans medicine.
These unevidenced assertions that trans people are medially distinct from cis people are harmful, and gets people killed. Stop it.
But in the above case we’re talking about a trans person, whom isn’t transitioning in a physical/biological aspect. Hence they’re a man, but their physicality is female.
They’d be best served the care you’d give other females. Rather than what you’d aim at males.
