Ginger's Story: All Patients Deserve to Be Treated With Respect
Ginger Marshall won’t shy away from telling you about her late-in-life transition, her uncomfortable experiences in medical settings or the discrimination she’s faced as a trans woman.
As an advocate and educator, Ginger embraces every opportunity to share one message: All patients – regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation – deserve to be treated with respect.
