在这部天生如此纪录片片中,纽约把变性手术纳入医疗保障，西奈山医院即成立跨性别整形外科中心。本想当音乐家的丁医生，拉得一手演奏级大提琴，弃乐从医，为不接受自己原生性别的人们进行性别重置。不只改变性征，同样照顾心灵。薛比安露携着摄影机，近距离纪录跨性别者的希望与痛，给他们敞开心扉。老皇后谈到地下整形时代害人不浅，风华正茂的则摆脱不了忧郁之心。或许丁医生是被时代选中，要成为良医益友，并为十四岁少年忐忑焦灼的咨询来电，送上耐心解答。
BORN TO BE follows the work of Dr. Jess Ting at the groundbreaking Mount Sinai Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery in New York City-where, for the first time ever, all transgender and gender non-conforming people have access to quality transition-related health and surgical care. With extraordinary access, this feature-length documentary takes an intimate look at how one doctor's work impacts the lives of his patients as well as how his journey from renowned plastic surgeon to pioneering gender-affirming surgeon has led to his own transformation.
