A French obstetrician-gynecologist in Pau refused to examine a biological man who transitioned into a “woman” and could face legal action.
LGBTQ activists and anti-homophobia associations are lobbying against him on the grounds that he refused to exercise his professional duty.
Based on the complaints, the matter is expected to be resolved in the French courts.
“I have no competence to deal with men, even if they have shaved their beards and come to tell my secretary that they have become women,” he wrote in response to negative Google reviews he received over the weekend from various anti-homophobia associations.
“We denounce the homophobic and discriminatory comments of the gynecologist Victor Acharian in Pau,” the homophobia association “SOS” posted its comment on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday.
The couple, who want to remain anonymous, “just wanted to relay the information to an association” The association Stop homophobia, is preparing to file a complaint.
