But what's pertinent to the story particularly is going into a hospital emergency room, when one might be in great distress and maybe not in one's most communicative state, being able to say “I am a transgendered woman”, and having the nurses and doctors know, okay, that means A, B, C, D, E. You don't have to be a real expert on your own medical issues in order to tell the doctor what he or she should be prescribing for you. That is something that I think is of great concern to all transgendered people.
