'A cavity is not a vagina': Trans Woman refused healthcare in France

French gynaecologist Victor Acharian refused to treat a transgender woman in his clinic.

The 26-year-old , accompanied by her boyfriend, refused to see her.

The doctor said he didn't have the skills or knowledge to treat trans patients.

Dr Acharian admits he lashed out with online comments, but says his actions were justified.

There is no recommendation for a transgender woman to have regular gynaecological check-ups.

This is because she doesn't have a uterus or cervix, Ravn said.

But transgender women can have issues related to their surgery that require some kind of assessment.

Without proper training, health professionals will one day have to treat transgender people.
