A family member of mine works in the medical field and an elderly TIF's life was endangered because she was legally "male" and had a beard from testosterone use. They gave her the male dose of some drug (sorry don't remember what). She did have breasts but was incredibly thin. Everyone working with said TIF was confused because she was referred to as a "transgender male" so everyone obviously thought she was male. My family member came home asking me wtf that meant (she's peaked) and I laid it out for her. I'm not sure who would have been held responsible had she died.
