miss sex-specific

If transgender people would not filing compliants on doctors that they "found problem for wrong sex (I am now female by documents and they found male prostate cancer!)" - then maybe treatment for them would be better.

Or maybe if saying their original sex was not such a taboo either. I've read a decent amount of stories and even news articles on how transmen were hurt or almost died because they were passing very well and reported to be "a male" to doctors, so doctors were giving male-specific treatment, waiting for male-specific symptomes or for male levels of whatever hormone was wrong, but instead that needed to wait female-specific ones and transman should be receiving female-specific treatment. In many eastern countries, when legal sex is changed - it is changed everywhere but for medical issues and sports. This makes transgender people to receive correct treatment and be healthy. In Canada such good approach would be illegal - so they are exchanging health of transgender people for validation.
