When Maggie said at 7:22 "I miss my brother", this evoked both warmth and sadness.
Actually it's 7:29
What I appreciate is how these scenes handled a sensitive topic without telling people exactly how they should feel about it. The characters felt real and you could see that they tried to be supportive but messed up their words occasionally. It's much more realistic than shows that have one character be the overly supportive saint and the other be the completely dismissive demon
agreed, I liked how organically it feels. None are perfect; the sister puts herself at risk for fear of discrimination, the doctor doesn't know much about nomenclature and accidentally says something offensive that pushes the patient away. Yet they all move forward with health as a priority. What a great moment.
The way Maggie is sad for her sister but still makes a joke about lots of stuff is heart warming
I can only imagine how health issues like this effect a transgender person and it's all the more reason I urge people to take their health seriously. I am glad that more and more friends and family are supportive like Maggie is to her sister. At the end of the day, no matter your pronouns, you're someone special and you worthy of a healthy happy life.
I love that haltsead is not judgemental with his patients. He maybe akward but he means well and he tries to do his job in intention for the best long term result for the patient.
One thing I critize about him that he is sometimes too pushy when the patient doesn't want the treatment, but mostly he does come around.
"I learned a long time ago that you have to do what makes you happy. Even if some people think it's weird."
I can't really explain it but this line feels so powerful especially with Maggie looking at her sister.
Her sister must've gone through so many complaints from her family members probably even Maggie herselft but pushed through and did what made her happy. Being her true self.
How come they never show how expensive medical treatments are in America on these medical shows?
Watch the resident
In greys meradith literally commits insurance fraud so that her patient can afford her treatment and goes through court jail and almost lost her medical license excuse my language here but the American heath system is fucked up
There was a episode where the family couldn’t afford the expanses, u should watch it, it really opens up how expansive hospital bills get
Hope this helps 😊
They've done that a few times, person with a head injury who couldn't afford tur very expensive tests the doctors wanted to use... they finally agreed to wait for any change before ordering the expensive tests.
they do in new amsterdam a lot
Maggies reaction is perfectly normal to it. I'm trans and I've had people in my life mourn who I used to be and that's okay. It's a process that you can miss one and celebrate the other side of it
I like hearing your perspective :) I have a very close family member who is trans, and she feels different about the idea of "losing who the person used to be" because she believes that she is still the same person. Always has been. But she just uses a different name and pronouns, and has a more feminine appearance. But she says that who she is as a person, is still the same as she was before she transitioned. But i also do really love the idea of celebrating the new identity of the person, and also acknowledging the memories they have with the person before they came out. And making jokes about it is a really good way to ease the process too.
I agree with you. For example: the mother of a son who transitions to female is grieving the loss of her son, because now she has to welcome a daughter. It takes time to accept. She loves her daughter, but misses her son.
A person also has to understand that their loved ones need time to accept and understand it, not be immediately in the same place they are.
Don’t hide anything from your doctors it’s important to tell them anything that is medically relevant. It could be crucial.
@Anna There is more risk if you don’t tell them it can be crucial they have to know everything to make an accurate diagnosis.
Some doctors/hospitals in the US can refuse treatment if they find out you're trans.
@@OHapybara Can they legally do that?
it's complicated bc many times the moment they know you are trans, they actively misdiagnose you or even mistreat you. It's super hard to navigate health care as a trans individual, one always has to juggle the timing to asses when it's riskier to withold the information or not.
When I was in a car accident, the paramedic that took me started asking me about my health history, I told her I took testosterone bc I was trans. She stopped treating me and started yelling me saying that I was disgusting and that I should die. You have no idea how terrifying that experience was. I didn't know how bad I was hit, if I was going to make it or not, and the person that had to take care of me was abusing me instead of treating me.
Other times, it's the broken arm syndrome. You might go to the ER with a broken arm and yet make it to be about your gender.
None of this is just my opinion, it's what the statistics and data show. As trans people we must be extremely careful when to disclose this information, even from doctors, since it can put us in danger.
@@dariusf.1960 Those are the type of people who should not go into the medical field
I'm still wondering why I keep watching Chicago med even though it makes feel so sad.
In this show , all the people who works to save lives are given equal importance . They are treated with respect. Unlike grey's anatomy where nurses are looked down upon.
i love that shes trans, but maggie focuses alot on how her sisters transition affects her, especially in her early seasons appearance. not really the trans rep i wanna see but i do like seeing a medical professional treating a trans patient with respect like halstead
stop whining
@@artebotastic8846 lol what
@@sammyb6635 "not really the trans rep i wanna"
@@artebotastic8846 because it was more focused on maggie than on denise, and how is that whining lmao
@@sammyb6635 I mean, it is a perspective
If people in the comments are going to be rude and disrespectful of someone’s gender, can they please just ignore the video and take their unwanted opinions elsewhere? Thanks.
As for the video itself. I was interested to see how Doctor Halstead handled this situation because I know he’s not always the best at understanding patients history, but I think he did well this time.
People can comment whatever they want
the way he got blindsided was hilarious
Uh no, they may be unwanted opinions to you but we're allowed to express them as freely as you are.
Agreed. Most of the time i have seen docs judging trans and i thought Will would do that too. But no! Well, first he was kinda awkward but then he took up the pace...
"Can people who deny facts *such as biology* please ignore oxygen? Thx
1:27
"Let me guess: because of a guy?"
".. something like that."
If that's what I think Maggie was implying, that was a subtle but well placed piece of dialogue.
I love dr haltstead with all my living soul
Have been going through the comments on here, some lovely people in this world, some, not so lovely, all I want to say is, I watched my lovely dear father slowly die of this prostate cancer, it was awful, I wouldnt wish it on anyone, I know many will say its not relavant to this, I just wish there was a screening programe in place, it would save many lives
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you're doing better now!
@@TheYoutubaki thats very kind of you thankyou x
I am sorry, but birth gender is relevant in medical situations. I know it's not fair, but there are medical conditions that are caused by the body that you are born with. You should be able to be who you are, but.....
Yeah of course, but some people are just so dysphoric they don’t want to tell anyone
they could have had a bad situation in the past when they disclosed that they’re trans. ppl have been killed just for saying that they’re trans.
i’m not saying that medical professionals are inherently transphobic or that you shouldn’t disclose it it’s just that there is a sizeable risk in telling ppl that ur trans bc u have no way of knowing how they will react.
and medical professionals can be bigoted too. there are cases where professionals don’t act as they should because of biases and bigotry. it’s not as black and white as ‘just tell them’ when just telling someone has gotten trans ppl killed in the past.
Honestly, as a trans woman myself, I forget it most of the time, it's not always in my head
"You should be able to be who you are" okay shut up right there
Going to the doctor for prostate cancer as a trans woman isn’t the same as going to the doctor for pneumonia - she may not have wanted to disclose it unless it was necessary, due to fearing mistreatment.
I think something key about this is that the one chicago team casted a trans woman for this role. She brings to her character a deep element of understanding and experience, for the difficulty to both herself and those who care for her, as well as coping with how those around her react, trying to care for herself and them throughout a period of transition.
"He".
Woah that's quite the plot twist. Gosh I love this show and I just discovered it. When I'm not watching the series online I come here to watch these. No regrets lol
love how Will is with them and is part of the family (like Maggie's brother figure) and as a result is an uncle to her kids - warms my heart to see
I think mags reaction is totally normal for a person with a trans relative. I'm trans myself and I've had reactions like these in my family, but it all got better with time. I think mags reaction to it will get better in time c:
Denise started transitioning 9 years ago, that's a long time for Maggie to come to terms with it and accept her as her sister. Glad that your family got better with time, good luck to you!
@@Justice237 oh! I forgot about that tbh ;; thanks for reminding me
@@gilbertm6700 but the thing is that for 9 years she barely saw her sister so that makes it tough too
The doc recommended to not remove prostate gland.hmmmmmm sounds like a job for The Good Doctor
I'm so glad there is becoming more representation for people of colour in the trans community!
^^^
Praying for Denise and everhone battling cancer, that they're cancer free soon and that it never metastasizes and or come back, God be with them and all the families, friends and loved ones✝️🙏❤️
I'm not liking here comments maggie has a right to feel that way I get it's also hard for Denise to be judged you just wanna be who you are but obv ppl around you will be affected aswell bcz they see you as two different ppl and its ok to miss the person you lost but still be respectful which she was doing
Wow I’m crying .
8:21 I swear she looks like beyonce.
Omg thought so too
I thought this was already posted
yeah it was
it is
Yea
I have to know if Denise’s name before her transition was Dennis
I believe so.
So when he said any other medical history..... we just ignored that?????
LOL , yeah "sure hope they don't find out, things might get complicated."
maggie: you mean i'm right?!
nat: mmmmmm
maggie: 👁👄👁!!!!!
They were taking about Indonesia In minutes 2.15 was make laugh. It is true that there were hundreds of languages as for local languages per say
I am not going to lie the title confused me for a second. I had to think about it for a minute before I understood.
When I hear the name Denise, all I can think of is Denephew joke.
Ok but why did I think she looks like Beyoncé in the thumbnail
Is this a nice or a sad? nice for a new clip or sad for the plot?
Wow these comments do not pass the vibe check. Why you gotta be transphobic? Let people live how they want, it literally doesn't affect you in ANY way.
It a nice to see some representation
i really don’t like the way maggie says ‘i miss my brother’. like yeah it sucks but can u imagine how her sister feels?? having gone through discovering she was trans, coming out, facing backlash and transitioning just for ur sister to say she ‘misses her brother’? it’s really invalidating. if one of my sibling said that to me i’d be heartbroken.
however you view it, maggie’s sister faced way worse than maggie did and even though maggie is a main character she shouldn’t have centred herself in this. she’s not the one who’s trans and she’s not the one who now has to deal with cancer.
Sure but that doesn't invalidate either of their experiences. Maggie acknowledges that her sister went through more pain but that in no way indicates that her feelings on her sister's transition should be downplayed. They're both hurt and we should recognise it, she tried to be supportive but she can't force those feelings away. It was said in the heat of the moment, feelings were hurt but it's better to say it then let it pile up.
everyone is entitled to their own emotions.
The fact remains, she doesn't have a sister. She has a brother, who has mutilated himself to something that distantly resembles a woman.
@@sonjahonkamaki3408 mist be sad being so miserable that you insult other people from being different than you, hope youll get better soon
@@Yoiyejsjwjanbsej i ain't sad at all, just realist.
Seriously you had to such an important detail from your doctor
Definitely very selfish if people make these people feel bad for their life choices. Any loving family would naturally embrace them.
Actually it's a very common and natural human emotion. Mourning for the person they've known their whole life until they transitioned. Both are valid: The transitioning persons feelings, also the feelings of their family,friends etc
i am sorry maggie your sister has prostate cancer tell her that to stay in chicago let dr halstead handsome young men take care of her and maggie you are a good mom
Maggie is absolutely gorgeous
I’m a medical student and our surgery teacher always says if you are gonna have cancer and you are a girl hope for a thyroid cancer and if you are a guy hope for prostate cancer.
Care to explain?
@@mdogzino it just means it’s the easiest to treat and the least likely to kill you, many people think a cancer diagnosis means you are gonna die, but prostate cancer can be treated with just hormones, the survival rate 5 years from the diagnosis is 100% and it’s about 95 after 15 years…. You don’t usually see odds like that in cancer.
@@melisaaraujo2604 are there any other cancers that have odds as good as thyroid and prostate cancer?
@@nah_. there are some that are pretty close, with mammographies breast cancer has become a high survivablity one but in terms of treatment thyrodectomies are less traumatic to women than mastectomies that’s why I didn’t mention it. Also testicular, melanomas and lymphomas have all close to 95% survivability.
All I’m saying is, don’t equate cancer to death, there’s a lot of therapeutical options out there, medicine has come very far.
My poppa died from prostate cancer after fighting it for 15 years.
I love your videos keep it up guys
Reposted video but it's fine!
Why did I cry at the end when they argued 😢😢😢I hate when people cry it makes me feel so sad when I see someone else crying that I cry😢😢😢
Why do these black woman are so beautifulllll , like april she is so pretty can't take eyes of her, and maggie i love her curls and denise , wow like a gorgeous queen
You may mean well but your remarks sound like a white man getting off on black women - a little bit plantation owner racist - please be a bit more thoughtful.
Oh, the title got me. A sister with a prostate 🤥
Not the way Maggie literally deadnames her sister at the end of the episode tho
What’s the name of this show?
Denise genuinely looks like Beyoncé ngl
This is already posted so why did u repost it
From what I noticed they're doing that with all Chicago shows
this is the best video ever!!!
i know right
@@stuartsmith292 ?
It's not about screening programs. Too many men are hung up about having a prostate exam.
and maggie i heard lot about you i dreamed that i could be nurse like you can you teach me
So Denise is the pretty sister?
Wait, is being called transgender when you are transgender offensive??
Also I want people to understand that being trans can be difficult for family members aswell, and it’s possible for them to go through a state of morning when a sibling or child transitions because it can feel like there brother/sister or son/ daughter has died or gone away.
I learnt this a while ago when I had a birthmark on my chest removed cause it was getting bigger and for the few weeks that it spent healing I felt weird knowing that it was gone cause it was the same way my whole life, my doctor explained that It was a form of morning, you don’t necessarily have to be upset or against something to grieve
The first part, it can be down to dysphoria. For me, it isn't offensive but for other trans people it could cause heavier dysphoria so it depends on the person, although doctors and professionals do need to make it clear that they're trans regardless if it's important,
And as for the second part, that's true, but at the same time it also depends on the trans person as well as some trans people can't cope with hearing about that type of mourning,
@@That_Demiboy_Poker thank you for explaining ❤
@@Vivistar_ Yw :)
I think it's not that he called her transgender, but *a* transgender. Using such descriptors as nouns can feel very dehumanising. It's like he called her "a black" instead if "a black woman".
Why does Will always have to make it about himself? 🙈
I'm sad for you Maggie.❤❤❤😢😢😢😮😮😮❤❤😢😢😢❤❤😢😢😢❤❤😢😢❤❤❤😢😢❤❤❤😢😢😢❤❤❤😢😢😢❤❤❤😢😢😢😢❤❤❤😢😢😢❤❤❤😮😢😢😢😢
Why are you sad?
我爱你chicago med
The ridiculousness of it all. Ever had surgery? -No. Pretend all you want, but don’t lie.
But she said she's transgender .I don't understand
She is. She was born with a prostate and called a boy/man but then transitioned and is a woman now.
He apparently used it as a noun. So instead of saying she's transgender he said she's a transgender. Like saying someone is A gay.
never be ashamed! transpeople have fought a very hard fight and they should be proud of themselves. no shame you hear me!!! 😡
Let's forget about that gender. When this is my blood, I would do anything to keep a good soul happy and alive. Put away the fight.
Hi
"biopsy came back" and they're wearing the same clothes.. so, same day? no wonder people have unrealistic expectations of the medical field.. as if this wouldn't take weeks.. and he's saying, "I'm hopeful it can be cured" as if he has any idea of the severity of the cancer diagnosis after knowing this patient for literal hours. Seriously Chicago Med
i need a job ya i cant stay home
Dudes naive Maggie did you you know it was offensive to use transgender as a noun
But medical terms you have to use the birth gender i think that's how everything falls in place correctly and there are not accidents
"Sir...
"It's ma'am ! ...
" OK ma'am... you have Prostate cancer!!
Why did Maggie bring will spill the tea
It's just me or she kinda looks like Beyonce?
Psych eval?
The transphobia in these comments are just disgusting
I'm Indonesian, and no, there aren't over 700 languages here. Not even close.
*brother
I am not a huge fan of when someone transitions and then their parents say "i lost my son/daughter" because in reality, you haven't. They are still the same person. They just changed their name and pronouns, and medically transitioned if thats what they want to do. But unless its the trans person's spouse and they identify as straight, the relationship between the trans person and the family member doesn't really change just because of their gender. But i did really love when Maggie said "not completely" either implying Denise is the same person, or that Denise is still alive and Maggie wants her to get testing done. Or both! But yeah, you aren't losing someone just because they transition, they are still the same person they always were.
You forget to put shoes on the other side as well. Yes Its harder for people that transition, but think about the other person too.
Bottom line, everything is a process for BOTH sides. And the process needs to be natural and not instant. So dont shame people if theyre struggling to cope with you transitioning when You know They love you. Again, its a process. They'll get there, it could be slower or quicker than you thought.
I wish Will could have just been like, "OOOHhhh! OK, that makes sense now." And then just continued on. Normalizing. No different than if the patient turned out to have both sexual organs internally and was just too embarrassed to say, or born with just one ovary but didn't want to say.
I´m glad that she said she misses her brother. So often its forgotten what the family goes through in this process. And its supposed for everyone to embrace the other part just because.
Ngl though Maggie's sister looks like Beyonce on the thumbnail
He what
Why can't she accept reality yes she is a woman but she needs to acknowledge that she's a man when it comes to medical science.
She probably fears being treated poorly if she tells the doctors she’s trans, so wouldn’t bring it up unless it was relevant like this turned out to be. A trans woman going to the doctor for prostate cancer isn’t the same as going to the doctor for pneumonia, for example. Being trans is relevant to one but not the other
Medicine doesn't care about anyone's feelings 🤷♀️
?
You guys make the wildest statements. This supposed to be some kind of trans gotcha? Medicine literally kills you lol
She's a trans here and in Code Black same thing she doesn't tell her doctors
It jumpscared me when she said “I’m a transgender woman” 😞 never thought I’d see a trans woman in Chicago med but as a trans boy I’m appreciative:3
nasty
I'm sorry but how would she know from an echo what he's looking at? XD Apart if she's a med tech on echo?
She s a specialsit nurse . She worked on echo in ER
Will Halstead said in this episode that to use term transgender is offensive. Why?
Is it bc she is transwomen if I understand correctly the terminology. Transgender term is used when person hasn't been through transition yet. But she clearly was, so she is (trans) women.
Will said: “Did you know it was offensive to use ‘transgender’ as a noun?” The word ‘transgender’ is actually an adjective, usually a pre-modifier to be specific. As a guess, he probably said something like “as a transgender….” rather than “as someone who is transgender….” or something along those lines. He never said the word itself was offensive, he just was curious about the way he used it being offensive. Hope that helps🙃.
@@grashla okay, thanks!
It's also important to remember what's offensive is very subjective based on our personal experiences. While yes, there are many words and phrases that are commonly considered offensive there's a lot of grey area where words can be offensive to one person and not others.
I'd someone tells you they found something you said offensive, you should acknowledge it, promise to do better and move on. Going around asking others if they knew it was offensive is the right approach. It doesn't matter if someone else didn't find it offensive, all that matters is the person in question found it offensive.
Dont play with hormone or else..
or else what? they dont do anything bad lol
The title is ... wtf ...
what about it?
If i see one more trans pain and cis tears storyline im going to sue
Why?
@@simplyawful543 I think because we're constantly bombarded with it.
@@meggrotte4760 I guess that's fair, I also get tired of seeing stories about black pain or gay pain because it's already something I experience on a daily basis
We don't say the same about straight people.
Very special episodes are so annoying. We get it, the writers don’t know anything about lgbtia+, disabled, or non-white people and just rehash the same story over and over instead of treating them like people

Everybody knows that can have disastrous consequences. Be smart, don't lie to your doctor to make yourself feel better. It might just save your life.
@@descent1234567890 maybe, just maybe, we shouldn’t treat this like an actual debate to have, when there is no known case of a trans woman on hormones to get prostate cancer.
Also transgender is not a noun, it’s really ridiculous to insist on using it in a weird and creepy way
@@nogroth1 the moral of the story is "don't lie to your doctors, no matter how uncomfortable you are talking about it, because it can very much safe your life". this applies to everyone, not just transies.
also, "wierd" and "creepy" are completely subjective. I think it's wierd to lie to your doctor, but hey, that's just me.

Like just admit that you're Trans....
Hiding it makes other people focus on it more
Be proud ! And who gives a fck if there are any haters
There's haters for literally everyone!
You're the one holding yourself back by pretending to be something you're not since you're always going to be focused on it.
Who cares if people know, who cares if some people don't consider you a real woman.
Move on, do what makes you happy and live life.
Really easy for you to say lol
Second
I wonder how CSI episodes are gonna work for "representation". Usually, with DNA samples from unidentified bodies they say the victim is male or female, now ppl are going to be upset about that? And how will biology and anatomy classes work when teaching differences between male and female bodies and their specific problems?
We won't. Male and Female are biological terms, Man and Woman are social. We're transmen and transwomen, not transmale and transfemale, and we know that.
It's not too hard for a mortician to tell if someone is trans, if the show wants representation, they'll include it.
@@tally9542 Maybe you are capable of understanding the concept of male and female, unfortunately not everyone is. I read an article they are pushing for anthropologists to stop using these terms.
@@eeeccc3562 Most trans people are very understanding of this kind of stuff, just cause the vocal minority isn't doesn't mean we are all gonna react with rage.
@@garuda9416 That is a good thing to know, it s unfortunate that it s not the information that reaches the general public.
@@eeeccc3562 I'd be asking if those are coming from the trans community or whether it's coming from cithet people being tokenistic. I work a lot with trans people and I've never heard one person talk about that nor have I read it on any blogs or forums I'm in.
