It's a shame this is even necessary.

Cool!🌈😊🫶
But I agree with the others that it's sad it's not a matter of course that everyone is safe with healthcare professionals..

In case you know this:

Does everyone have to wear a lab coat that says “Notarzt,” or are there also options like “Notärztin” or “Notärzt*in"?

The cynical me asks himself how long it will be for the person to be attacked and if police will be there to protect them.

Go find a job where you don't have to deal with others.

Freedom of religion, even in the most progressive societies, still functions in one direction only.

Can't deal with queer folk? Don't be a medical professional, don't have a shop, don't do anything that requires you to interact with and help others.

That's not a burden society places on you, that's the burden you placed on yourself.

(yours is not a boomer sentiment by the way, it's the sentiment of any decent person)

But that doctors need to proclaim this at all, is a horror to me. It should go without saying that one is safe with a doctor, especially in emergencies. Or am I too boomer when I say this? What a time to be alive.
