Is "Nun Transmutes into Man" a criticism of society?

In the Nun Transmutes into Man, the author narrates the story of a manly nun, Maria Munoz, who undergoes several physical examinations to determine whether or not she has male genitals. Although other religious officials and nuns have discovered that she possesses some masculine characteristics, Maria Munoz is prohibited from speaking about this matter or from making a public scene. The convent is portrayed as a superficial, selfish organization prioritizing its own reputation and image rather than the health or condition of its own member. Maria, instead of being freed immediately, is "isolated in a cell" and treated as a monster. Later, when Maria's father finally comes to inspect Maria, he realizes that he finally has a male offspring for inheritance. Rather than sympathize with Maria due to her conflict, Maria's father prioritizes his family name and belongings over Maria and demonstrating, again, a sense of superficiality and materialism. Although the author of this narrative may appear to have written the story for shock value, slight criticism of different branches of society is apparent throughout the narrative.
