So there may be specific issues that are related to genetics. I don’t really work in that field, but let’s say that in a certain area, males more likely to have X disease and it shows after 30. So like colon cancer or something.
If they go and change their gender to female, how does it
affect those stats? Are they suddenly less likely to experience those issues?
I honestly don’t give a shit about how you identify. I want you to be comfortable.
I still don’t see how that’s relevant to the environment. I’m guessing you just misspoke there.
Good science will consider your assigned sex at birth for these stats where relevant. No one is disputing the value of having that information and no one has problems with it because this data is all anonymized. The problem that the OP is referring to is when this data is collected without anonymization and used to bring harm to specific people based on their medical records. There’s no reason for anyone besides your doctor to have access to your medical records. Scientific studies require explicit consent to get that data.
