    It’s not that simple. Brains and exterior bodies are not necessarily coordinated like that, and bodies themselves take a myriad of forms.

    Don’t be fooled by those saying “there are only Men and Women and That’s That.” It’s not true.

      I don’t care the actual values. In fact, I want people to be happy so whatever you need to do to achieve that go ahead and do it.

      I apologize if the following sentences aren’t exactly PC, don’t mean any harm by them.

      I care about the values for other reasons. Say someone was born male, undergoes HRT and becomes female. Due to their birth genetics, they are more likely to get X disease. They have no health issues, undergo HRT or whatever, and then the disease is found. So now they are a female with X disease.

      That data is very different. That’s all I care about.

        I don’t think keeping lists of trans people is particularly good social awareness for stupidly obvious reasons: There’s a lot of people who would see such a list as a list of targets.

        Realistically, most medical staff will be aware of commonalities. For instance in your example the specialist that treats "X’ disease will notice fairly quickly if a majority of their patients are trans especially since maybe up to 2% of the population is trans.
