I know this is a dates post but I came across a situation today in practice that made me look up what others have encountered. I am 100% with treating people with respect and compassion. At the end of the day we all struggle with something and being a compassionate and loving nurse has nothing to do with an individuals identity. As a health care professional, and as someone who has a medical license, that has taken numerous science and biology classes , I cannot in good conscience ignore what we know as truth. I am all for respecting a persons wish to be called or regarded as they desire but I cannot go as far as ordering a pregnancy test on a man. We need to also respect the biology and physiology. YESS 100% treat EVERY individual with respect, love and empathy, NO MATTER WHAT but also respect our intelligence and medical degrees. A biological MAN will NEVER get pregnant or have a menstrual cycle. We need to stop feeding into the delusion!
