Case Study: Transgender Justice 16 16 This week you are reading about gender issues. One of the major polarizing issues across the nation is centered on the dignity, rights and justice we as Americans hold for the transgender community. What are the specific duties of nurses in the care of transgender clients/patients? Nurse Rosemary is treating a patient in the women’s health clinic. The patient, whose chart says is named Olivia, introduces himself as Oliver and looks like a male. Rosemary speaks with Oliver about his upcoming appointment, how he’s feeling, and takes his health history. Rosemary accidentally calls Oliver by the incorrect pronoun, “she” instead of “he,” but immediately apologizes to clear the air. Rosemary also speaks with Oliver about any gender or pronoun preferences he would like on his chart. Later on that day, Rosemary hears a pair of staff members talking about “Olivia” in a variety of derogatory ways. They refer to Oliver by the wrong name, use demeaning language, and use the pronoun “it.” 1. What ethical principles guide the care Rosemary delivered to Oliver? 2. What are some things Rotemary does to make Oliver feel more comfortable and have more autonomy over this experience? 3. When Rosemary hears her coworkers speaking about Oliver, what should she do?
