Trans woman dies of cancer after failing to tell Dr she identified with having a prostate
![920x920.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXUXC49DzEsiHoHfWRMNkQcj8SqnLwCyQxJzL3mXSvWGV/920x920.jpg)
A trans woman, otherwise known as a biological man, has died from prostate cancer after her doctor saw no reason for an examination because she identified as a typical woman.

Evie Longman wasn't diagnosed with the illness until after she died and never received a prostate exam in her lifetime because her Doctor saw no need for the test.

“On her medical form she had ticked the female box” her doctor said.

“So when she came in for her check up I saw no reason to perform a prostate test on her. Even though she was over 50 and all men should check that area once they reach that age”

“If I had checked I would've noticed she had highly advanced cancer.”

The news comes after a busy week for the trans community where they successfully discriminated against Scarlett Johanessan because of her gender, as well as getting a U.K. Doctor fired after he refused to acknowledge there was more than 2 genders.

Dr David Mackerath who was recently employed by the U.K. government said he was fired because he refused to use certain gender pro nouns.

“I believe in biology and genes when it comes to gender.” Dr Mackerath said. 

“We can literally break gender down to the most minuscule bits of DNA and in this DNA there is only 2 types of chromosome. Male and female.”

“Regardless of what your imagination is telling you.”

“But because I believe this I'm a bigot and was fired.”

“Funny thing is, the only evidence we have to the contrary is a small group of people who feel a certain way. But how they feel isn't good enough to overthrow all biological and genetic research in my opinion.”

Although sympathetic to Dr Mackerath, trans activist Georgie Trixett said it was vital people were forced into believing what she believed otherwise it would hurt trans people feelings and put them at risk of suicide.

“We can't exist in this world unless everyone agrees with us.” she said.

“If you don't then you will drive us to suicide. Do you want us to kill ourselves?”

“No? Then you have to agree with us.”

“I mean, can't you see how intolerant you're being?”

You have a great content.This would educate the steemians especially the those who are man and transwoman. This would create awareness to them. Kudos.

You know, if your beliefs actually have good arguments behind them, you normally don't have to make up stories. 

Also, this isn't even how this would work. Doctors see in a person's history if they are transgender or have had a sex change operation. In a real situation a doctor would know if the person has a prostate or not. So not only is this story made up, it isn't even plausible. 

People who are transgender have a disconnect between their brain and the rest of their physical body. There is actual science, including chemical and genetic testing, as well as brain scans, to support the notion that transgender people actually do have brains and hormones that match their identity. Nature is full of all kinds of strange things and problems happen in fetal development all the time. Transgender people tend to have brains and hormones that resemble those that we would expect to see in gender they identify as. http://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2016/gender-lines-science-transgender-identity/

This may be true but there are so many gender identities and pronouns now that it has become absurd. To keep things simple, I tend to refer to people by their assumed biological sex if it is obvious, not their gender identity which would have to be guessed at anyway. 

Given that this is a medical condition, it raises all sorts of questions as the the appropriate treatment that haven't really been dealt with. Is this a condition we should try to test for, detect and treat in different ways at an earlier age, or is assuming a different gender identity and possibly having a sex change operation really the best or only route? How do non-binary gender identities fit into this explanation?

You are biologically a man or a woman based on your chromosomes. Identifying as something different doesn't change that.  Don't get me wrong, you should be able to do whatever you want with your own body. I just think the Nazi like attitude that you have to refer to somebody by whatever made up gender they choose  or you are a sexist, homophobic bigot has gotten a little out of hand in some cases.
