The obsession with transgender people continuous! What a celebrity culture! What a mania! And how expensive in terms of money is this obsession to the general public?
How much of it is driven by individual fame, fortune, publicity, attention and other ulterior motives?
For several decades, we were to accept and embrace homosexual individuals in our society. Not enough. For some time now, we are to believe that individuals are born with the wrong gender and to accept gender fluidity.
"For transgender people, job discrimination, housing insecurity, inadequate health care, and the stress of living in a world rife with transphobia all exact a toll on health. ..." Really! What a myth! What a fake cause!
The article, unfortunately, does not say how long Renee Lau was married to his wife before his coming out and divorce. However, it is hardly credible that the wife did not notice anything or did she silently accept it, maybe even support it in some way. The divorced wife apparently was not interviewed for this article.
"Renee Lau knew from age 6 that she should have been female, but she couldn’t say so in her parents’ strict religious household in suburban Baltimore. Assigned male at birth, she spent more than five decades suppressing her authentic gender identity until, with the encouragement of a therapist, she came out to her wife in 2017. A cascade of calamities followed: Her wife filed for divorce, her employer went bankrupt, and she was treated for bladder and prostate cancers. Despite being “broke and homeless,” as she puts it, she began her transition, which presented a new quandary: Baltimore had housing for transgender people, and assisted living housing for seniors, but nothing that accommodated senior trans people with medical needs such as Lau’s, which included aftercare for her bladder cancer. For nearly a year, she was forced to hide her true self in order to qualify for senior housing, living as a man in a homeless shelter designated for men. ...
Lau’s health care provision must account for the nuances of her identity, history, and anatomy: She is a female survivor of prostate cancer, an older adult in need of trans-friendly housing, and a potential vaginoplasty patient with a reconstructed bladder from her cancer treatment. ...

The Journey to Thrive Transgender people live in an often-hostile world. Can community, research, and resilience reduce the threats to their health?
