Hello! I work as a physical therapist. In the next week, for the first time, I will be working with a person who describes themself as a transgender woman. (I haven't met them yet and don't know which pronoun they prefer.)
I've read a few things from GLAAD and Queer101. Most is familiar from other things I've read and experienced, but I don't want to assume that's all there is to it. I don't know where my tripping points are; I don't want to inadvertently say something offensive because of my ignorance.
If you have any advice for a medical person, I'd appreciate you sharing it with me. If you don't want to post publicly, consider a PM.
Thank you-
