Catherine Robilliard on Dusty’s Substack

Yes, very much. The more I think about it the more I realise that interview was probably illlegal. I wasn’t wearing my hearing aids, I was naked underneath my gown and placed opposite a male security guard with a body-cam. Prior to a radiotherapy session you have to fully relax; holding your breath staying perfectly still for 20 seconds; it isn’t easy. I went straight into radiotherapy after the interview and suffered an asthma attack caused by stress. My health, safety and dignity, and life saving radiotherapy treatment, seemed to mean nothing to that Head of Security - a woman. Her anger and loathing of me was palpable. She first said “I’ve called the police” and I kept waiting for them to arrive. I almost passed out during the “interview” the room was too hot and on Letrozole I can’t control my temperature. A nurse at the hospital contacted me afterwards; staff had been told my “graffiti” was too awful and transphobic to repeat. She told me the female Head of Security at the hospital was following orders from her male boss, the chief Head of Security. I asked her to shown the nurses my video and she replied that she would. Interestingly a Consultant apparently stood by me, and took my side. I shall just give her first name Maria. I think she was the reason my treatment was allowed to continue, and is still ongoing.
