COMPLIANCE MADE SIMPLE Hospitalist…it doesn’t matter. You have a man or woman Cardiac Surgeon…it doesn’t matter. You have a man or woman Neurosurgeon…it doesn’t matter. You just have a Family Doctor, or a Hospitalist, or a Cardiac Surgeon, or a Neurosurgeon. Bottom line: Male/Female it doesn’t matter. The whole transgender angst we’re experiencing in America today is because we as a society have not come to grips with the fact that all individuals are equal, and all individuals have a certain amount of femaleness and a certain amount of maleness within them, and that such things as secondary sexual characteristics can be changed with surgery and hormones. Girls can be boys and boys can be girls. There is a sense in which girls are actually already boys and boys are actually already girls. And transgender individuals, now that they have received some recognition, are much more common than previously thought. Indeed it is likely, in an organization as large as the Saginaw County Medical Society, that we have one or more transgender members. Does it matter to us? Does it matter to you?
