Where this comes from

Abstract

In their recent perspective published in <i>Patterns</i>, Maggie Delano and Kendra Albert highlight the limitations of sex and gender data classification in health systems and show how this contributes to the marginalization of trans and non-binary individuals. They provide recommendations to improve incorporating gender data into healthcare algorithms. Here they discuss their collaboration and how it enabled this cross-disciplinary research.
