Kelly Marshall remembers a time when health providers in Texas treated transgender people like mental health patients, misdiagnosed them with other conditions, misgendered them, or refused to treat them because they lacked the specialization.
“I had times where doctors would tell me I can’t treat you because you are transgender, or I don’t know how to treat you. I would say I am not there for gender-affirming care, I am here for general care,” Marshall said.
