NC - going back to Pete. Pete is biologically male at birth. Analysing his blood test, you know his sex. Are you telling tribunal that you need to know his GI aswell?
BU - would perhaps allow for component for his tests? Is he cis man or trans woman? Would his hormonal medications may change his ref ranges, to more closely align with would be typical for your gender because of hormonal effects. You coudl argue it's not specifically [missed] - if Pete says male but tkaing female hormones could affect
NC - did you misgender Pete?
BU - you told me he was transgender, using preferrred pronouns
NC - we discussed Pete may be TiF looking masc due to T. But is simply a man. What youd' call a cis man. Big and manly. You know as a doc he's male. You're looking at his blood test results. Do you need to know his Gi??
bU - if his GI matches his sex, no.
NC - but you do need t know sex, because ranges will be different for men and women?
BU - as I said, a growing area of research, not much on trans people, what we understand as male and female don't aply to trans people who've been taking hormones, after that period we'd use ref ranges of gender they align with. an emerging area of evidence suggests this is what we should be doing.
