-You’re patient’s in trouble. We used your new 3D breast tomography-- Great images, by the way. She's got a suspicious lesion on the other breast that the digital mammogram missed. I biopsied both sides, and they both came back with invasive ductal carcinoma. Poorly differentiated.
- Her genetic testing shows she has a BRCA gene mutation.
- She's genetically male, and the BRCA 1 and 2 gene in men increases the risk of breast cancer. I'm gonna recommend a bilateral mastectomy.
- Yeah, of course. - Because of the aggressive nature of the disease and the tumor size.
- I'll talk to her.
- You want me to do it?
- She's my patient, thank you.
So, regardless of how Candis “identifies,” as the good doctor says, she’s a “genetic male.” In fact, it’s his status as a genetic male that is largely responsible for his cancer. This is interesting, because in the previous scene, Candis tells the assembled group of doctors that his hormone treatments are putting right, what nature got wrong.
Except the hormones aren’t putting anything “right.” Yes, you may be able to have natural looking breasts, soft skin, and a few additional curves. But nature’s verdict over Candis’ biological gender, is final. Because there was no mistake made. His status as a man is a fact. Regardless of how much he hates it.
And as Ben Shapiro would say, “Facts don’t care about your feelings.”
