Doctor is suspended for refusing to use transgender patient’s preferred pronouns – during argument about danger of sex change drugs

A family doctor has been suspended for three months after telling a transgender man they were a ‘biological woman’.

Dr Raymond Brière — who had been practicing for more than four decades in Montreal, Canada — was found by a complaints body to have acted in an ‘inappropriate and disrespectful manner’ after telling a patient that they were genetically female during an argument about the risks of hormone drugs.

During an appointment in mid-2022, the patient asked the Dr Brière for a prescription for testosterone therapy to help them transition into a man.
