News about Stephanie Ho

Since Republican Sen. Matt McKee asked Dr. Gwendolyn Herzig, a transgender woman, about her genitalia, a hearing to discuss gender-affirming care in Arkansas has sparked outrage. 'You said that you're a trans woman?' McKee had requested on the Senate judiciary floor on Monday. 'Do you have a penis?' Herzig took a moment to calm herself before responding: 'That's sad,' and she called the question 'highly inappropriate.' Anyone who received gender-affirming treatment as a child can bring a malpractice lawsuit against their doctor for up to 30 years after they turn 18. Medical malpractice cases must be filed within two years of what the statute describes as a 'injury.'

Stephanie Ho was only 22 when she suffered from a devastating stroke. She was unable to walk, talk, or swallow on her own after she was hospitalized due to the medical emergency. It resulted in her spending months in a hospital room trying to figure out 'the basics.' Stephanie had 'every common stroke symptom,' but no one cried for assistance until the bleeding in her brain became so large that she collapsed.
