In this composite case, during a conversation with a social worker/nurse team, a cisgender woman repeatedly expressed her wishes for her female partner to be her decision maker instead of her biological family. The conversation stalled during the patient's attempts to identify her partner as her most valued and trusted person.

Lack of inclusivity training has significant potential to affect the patient experience and decrease clinician/patient trust.
