Biological sex is real but saying so is bigotry and trans people are being harmed as a result and that's the medical system's fault

Later, he listened in amazement as a doctor gravely informed him that he had a uterus – a fact that Whitley was, naturally, already aware of. “They said, ‘I think we understand the problem – you have a uterus and so that may be contributing to your kidney failure.’ I was like, ‘what are you talking about?’”
So this women goes to the doctor with organ failure, doesn't tell them that she's female, forcing them to waste time and resources and make improper calculations, and it's the doctors' fault and she's the victim.
Also, thanks BBC for acknowledging that 'trans medicine' is a shot in the dark and no one understands what they're doing, but yet we can't say that out loud.

I'd just put it in the same category as the sex workers getting murdered and conflating that with the trans issue.
Trans people might be more likely to omit important information from their doctors forms or fraudulently fill out the forms, (because I can't imagine why anyone else would ever do this) but the then shitty quality of care they'd get from that idiotic decision is directly related to not filling out the forms properly or disclosing to the doctors vital information.
It's like the murder rate argument. Yes the murder rate for trans people is higher. But when you look at the details of those cases, they're by and large related to sex work, which is already quite a dangerous profession, couple that with the, shall we call it the disclosure issue. The doctor won't shoot you if he finds a surprise during the examination. That's the main difference.
