You say obviously a biased source but this kind of treatment is normal for trans people in America. I found lots of examples that i did not link because I was looking explicitly for people being refused treatment in ER. I knew that you would be looking for any reason to dismiss the links. I even ignored one link for a transwoman who died in Pakistan when refused treatment in ER for gunshot wounds. I came across an academic paper discussing how trans people are ridiculed to the extent that they deliberately avoid going to ER. Same difference refusing treatment and making the environment hostile to a patient.
The question was whether or not this type of discrimination will be legal under the new law. (or ever). My argument is that no, it won't. And the article doesn't say otherwise.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
