    Then it needs to stop just because your transgender doesnt mean you have rights

    Added a word so it wouldn't sound like you're saying they don't have rights. At least, I hope you meant to say they have rights. O_O

    I agree that this needs to stop. They have rights too.

    Wow... I wanna meet the people who actually treat others like this. It's ridiculous. I kinda wish those who live in their perfect, heterosexual world would be gay or transgender or something... just so they know what it's like.

    That's so horrible. The hospital should be sued, the employees should be punished in some way, and they - as well as all hospital employees (actually, all employees anywhere, just medical ones specifically) - need to undergo some sort of training/classes/etc. in order to better understand transgender individuals and how to treat them respectfully.

    (inb4 mention of a run-on sentence because I know that it is, and I don't care.)

    Was that necessary to point out?
