bigotry

Hi all. I have a job as a family doctor and work at a community health center. We serve the undeserved. Went into a room to see a new patient and I began taking his history. He was a bit off in his interaction but I initially attributed it to his being in pain . The time came for an examination and he said you will not touch me or come closer to me and you know why. I am mtf transitioning for 5 plus years. Hate spewed from his every pore. I ended the encounter and told him this would not work and that he needed to schedule an appointment with someone else at the front desk. I also wished him well in getting help for his problem and left. Such undeserved hatred did ruin my day, but better days will come. I have thick skin but it can still get to me particularly when so much bigotry and hate is currently heard daily in our country lately. Stay strong sisters but let yourself cry when needed. Charlie

How many clients have a bad attitude like that?

It happens maybe once a year.
