    The problem is that some people have wildly differing ideas on what counts as “just politics”. As an example, the doctor brings up the question “would a pride flag be banned if it make a homophobic person uncomfortable?”. To the homophobe, gender identity is “just politics”. To the gay/trans/etc person it very much is not politics.

      Even suggesting certain treatment plans or choosing to provide everyone with medical care can be considered by some to be political.
