I've been doing a little reading over the last couple of hours, and it's pretty clear that endometriosis is a real issue for trans people.

Just as prostate cancer remains a real issue for transitioned people I've already mentioned that, and I also have an associate who was born female and transitioned to male but still suffers endometriosis, actually before the endometriosis they suffered what was functionally ovarian cancer as well. A tough gig. Going the route of synthetic gender doesn't eliminate biological gender related diseases for anything you can't have excised.

But none of that is the point, that is not the "identify as female" category we are discussing, the guidelines do not discriminate between those who surgically transition and others who just declare a gender.

It puts the researchers in a horrible position, they will have to construct ways to discriminate legally or risk losing funding, or perhaps even be prosecuted should some actor become malicious. It's untenable, if they can't discriminate it wastes funding and resources on individuals who could not possibly have some of the gender specific diseases that are under the intended research banner.

I'm sorry this has gone on so long, I suspect now we have been debating two different things.
