The medical world is mainly geared towards the reference man. That’s because “masculine” values are generally still more valued than “feminine” values.
That is why knowledge institute Atria advocates a gender-sensitive approach, also in the medical world. When we talk about gender and sex, we quickly get involved in the nature/nurture debate. While the starting point should be: be aware of the existing (medical) differences in people of different sexes, but give everyone the freedom to express themselves as desired. With the freedom of choice and control over your own body, in which everyone wants to be taken seriously.
