The Lietuvos Rytas newspaper has two articles on transgender issues today, for reasons best known to myself.
Among the coverage is a short interview with a gynaecologist who I suspect is still choking over his cornflakes. He refuses to treat women who were formerly men (their passports may still be male, only 2 people have so far been able to change their passports in Lithuania). If the passport says it's a guy, he says, how can 'he' visit a gynaecologist. He further says that if a man becomes a women, she needs female hormones. But, he thinks, if they prescribe female hormones, the patient can then take them to court for serious assault.
Eh?
Why do cocks and bulls come to my mind?
