Dani Castro had developed a UTI, but was afraid to go to the doctor due to her track record of bad experiences. She collapsed and became unresponsive, so a friend drove her to the ER. (Content warning.)
“I was hospitalized, and my gender marker was listed as male,” she said. “I had to push back and say something. They changed it, but before I was discharged the medical provider did a pelvic exam.”
