Don't the cancerous cells respect their gender identity? Bloody transphobic reality.

So... people who decide to change their medical records to a fictional sex rather than their real sex in order to hide it are then.... having medical consequences arising from having hidden their real sex.

Whodathunk.

I wonder what it is that medics are supposed to do in order to absolutely definitely not know but still know when it matters and get it right anyway? Crystal balls? Layla Moran on speed dial?
