You’ll notice the language used to share stats and other data points is pretty binary, fluctuating between the use of “male” and “female” or “men” and “women.” While we typically oid language like this, specificity is key when reporting on research participants and clinical findings.
We rely on publicly accessible research that isn’t behind a paywall. Unless otherwise noted, it’s unclear whether the studies and surveys referenced in this article included participants with expansive gender identities.
