      …3 weeks ago I am bumping this discussion just to add a voice - the hospital I work at is attempting to harmonize how old and new systems store things like sex and gender identity in an effort to model the social complexities of the topic in our database as health outcomes have been proven to be demonstrably better when doctor’s honors a patient’s preferred name and gender expression

      This may turn out to be a blessing in disguise, under the current administration.

        Yeah, or someone will die because lab result baselines that are dependent on sex get fucked up.

        Politics need to stay the fuck out of medicine. Having people try and do a political dance around lab science is a recipe for disaster.

          US horseshoe reality. The right is anti vaccines the left is dogmatically anti-biology in medicine. I feel bad for normal people living in the US. It’s like common sense and pragmatism was bred out of the gene pool.

            Accepting that gender is a social construct has literally nothing to do with biology. I promise you that even the most diehard Leftists still understand what biological sex means.
