He's upset because the surgical team spoke to each other about what they found and could see? What did he expect, for goodness sake?

Having cancer surgery but is concerned about pronouns. Says it all really.

Yep. It's not about politeness or health care. It's about controlling others.

I think, unfortunately, that some people live in cloud cuckoo land, where because they think they become female it actually happens. Knowing a person's biological sex seems to be important when accessing health care, especially if the patient can't /won't bring the subject up themselves. And of course, litigation and huge awards are often the way to go in the USA.

He had cancer, you would think that would be a priority not his fairy tale.

She was back at Memorial Sloan Kettering, the hospital she was suing. She said she had chosen it in the first place because “they’re the best.” Her opinion of the hospital’s cancer care hasn’t changed.
“I’m still alive,” she said. “I can’t complain.”

Where the hell did they put it!?

In the bag for his belongings that the hospital provided him with.

Whoever did his FFS should give him his money back. Also, he was asked to take a pregnancy test. He should be concerned that his true sex is known and he's getting the medications and dosages appropriate for a man. If he's inappropriately or under medicated because his records state he's female he could die. He should just tell himself that M is ma'am and F is fella.

Well his medical records need to be accurate and the fact that he still has testicles is also relevant information especially when his cancer has metastatisised as it could well spread to them.

They took a phone? Into theatre? Where they were having major surgery? Because 'knowledge is power'?

What the hell have I just read?

And the guy recording sounds like a wazzock.

"She had decided on an open-casket funeral.
“I was going to be a pretty corpse,” she said."

He's a dude. Cancer doesn't stop that.
