I don't know, honestly. I haven't had the heart to read through the whole debate, but I don't think the rest of it would be of significantly different tenor from what I *have* read.
It *might* be about plumbing, but they offer other health services as well, so I dunno. Things like STD and breast cancer screening for trans women is not anything they would need a specialist to deal with.
It might be a matter of their resources are so limited that expanding their clientele would put a heavy burden on them -- which is why I say the trans community should approach them offering assistance and resources if that is the reason for the exclusion, rather than banging on the door with a set of demands so to speak.
