Even beyond malicious compliance, much more likely to be a kinder way from the doctor. I'd assume human is code for "if I don't call this person a woman, they'll cry and whine and complain and get us all fired and cancelled- but if I DO call them a woman, you'll treat them as if a woman was being treated and it could kill the person. This is my code for 'the patient is transgender' so we call her a woman while we realize we have to give her the men's treatment."
