"Trans" Woman as a Nurse?

I don't mind if I have a female or male nurse. I just don't want a "trans" nurse.

Just take your medicine. I'm sure this supposedly trans person cannot inject you with a shot that will make you gay or trans. I understand being uncomfortable with these people. It's a totally confusing issue. The thing is, now gay and trans people are protected by civil rights laws so the company can't really cater to homophobic or racist requests. By law it would be seen the same as requesting a white nurse.

My personal opinion (since you did ask), is that a shot is a shot is a shot. It doesn't really matter who administers the shot as long as they have the proper education/certification. Being afraid of a trans person is giving you a shot is an irrational thought that should be dismissed. Not to say that switching genders is right or normal but that's what we have in a secular free society. It's a bummer but you would probably need to move to an Islamic country with Sharia law. They don't allow any gays or trans to live, let alone work as nurses.. That would be a great place to live if one believes in discrimination. It's great, one can discriminate against any woman or sexual deviant.

On Friday, my regular nurse came to give me my shot. He comes every two weeks to administer a shot to me for my mental illness. Most of the time it is him. Sometimes it is someone else. He had someone shadowing him on Friday. A woman, or so I thought. The woman looked very masculine. I can't prove it was actually a man though. Just had man-like hands, was very tall, and had a kind of fake femininity which I found really creepy.

The question would be if I should actually do something about it at this point. I don't think I should. I think I should wait until I get this same person to give my shot again (or perhaps this person will be the new person to give me my shot). The nurse I currently have is fine. I don't think he is a Christian. I have talked about my faith with him quite a bit. Obviously, he knows I am a Christian. He knows I like apologetics. He knows I like Christian Metal (which he actually thinks is pretty cool since he likes bands like Tool which is a band I used to really like but have since stopped listening to almost entirely because of my conviction against it). The nurse I currently have is changing positions a bit. He said he will still be in the field some, but he has this new role of training nurses and doing more administrative stuff. I am thinking that if this "trans" woman gives me my shot again, I should tell the company that having this person give me my shot makes me feel sus uncomfortable.

What are your thoughts on this?

Other than giving you a shot, if the person hasn't harmed you in any way, why object to their treatment? There are a number of people I silently object to being around in any way shape or form but I'm stuck with their presence and I refuse to treat them with disrespect simply because I don't care for them. Christ calls us to love our neighbors. He doesn't make a distinction about who those neighbors might be. We're not to love their actions, but instead pray for them. As Christians, we're called to be light in a world of darkness.
