Chicago MD and Code Black having the same actress playing a transgender woman having almost the exact same gender sensitive medical problem airing the same week.
Must be fun going to those auditions landing the same role, different show. Are the writers in the same writers club or was it a sale on scripts on Craigslist?

I found this article which might explain even more...
25-year-old up-and-coming actress who is also trans, will be appearing all over your TV screens throughout the 2016 - 2017 season. After her breakout turn as Elizah in the first episode of Transparent's new season, Grey has landed roles on several other high-profile series.share
Tune in tonight to see Grey play a patient on CBS' Code Black, and then again on Thursday when she starts her recurring role on NBC's Chicago Med. Next week, on October 11, Grey will play revolutionary transgender trailblazer Marsha P. Johnson in an episode of Comedy Central's Drunk History, with Transparent co-star Trace Lysette. In 2017, viewers will be able to see Grey alongside Phylicia Rashad and Michael K. Williams in Dustin Lance Black's ABC miniseries When We Rise, and she'll also guest star on CBS' Doubt, with Laverne Cox.
Well I guess all press is good press, this little debacle must be worth a few words in social media and in the tabloids, good for her!
Glad to see she'll return as Maggie's sister on CMD.
