Disney-owned ABC drama Station 19 (https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/89160-station-19/page/20/) has already built a reputation for being woke. But apparently, someone forgot to insert a liberal talking point in the script when a doctor announces to a patient that she’s having a boy, leading to a very awkward and cringey dub being inserted into the scene in which the doctor adds, “Assuming that’s how it identifies.”
Hollywood ruins everything.
On Thursday’s episode, “Come as You Are,” (https://www.reddit.com/r/Station19/comments/11n9ixq/episode_discussion_s6e09_come_as_you_are/) the Grey’s Anatomy spinoff Station 19’s firehouse is being used as a medical clinic for underprivileged patients in the community. Dr. Carina DeLuca (Stefania Spampinato), the show’s married lesbian ob/gyn abortionist gets hit on by pregnant patient Pam (Dinora Walcott) who was artificially inseminated because she wanted a baby right away and didn’t want to wait for a partner.
Carina is currently separated from her wife Maya (Danielle Savre), so she appears to be flattered and shares her own story on an unsuccessful attempt at artificial insemination. At first, Pam says she doesn’t want to know the sex of the baby, but at the last minute changes her mind and asks Carina to tell her if the baby is a boy or a girl.
Listen closely for yourself at how awkward the woke dub is that was added in later and how much it stands out from the rest of the dialogue:
Pam: Okay. Okay. I actually hate surprises.
Carina: Okay.
Pam: What am I having?
Carina: Are you sure?
Pam: Yeah.
Carina: Yeah? It's a boy!
Pam: Yes!
Carina: Assuming that's how it identifies.
Pam: I'm so happy.
I wonder if the original writer who forgot to be woke got fired for his/her mistake. Also, I’m pretty sure the baby doesn’t “identify” as anything yet, so why not just share that he’s a boy and leave it at that? Gender confusion/dysphoria isn’t a common disorder so why the need to add such a disclaimer?
