Acknowledgment of Biological Differences and Health Disparities
Prominent academics emphasize the biological differences between male and female bodies, highlighting the importance of acknowledging these disparities for health, safety, and social policy considerations. They argue that referring to sex as merely assigned at birth could have life-threatening consequences, as there are distinct physical vulnerabilities and medical dangers for each sex. For instance, women are more likely to experience harmful drug side effects, while men are at a higher risk of death from diseases like COVID-19 and cancer. Recognizing these differences is crucial for addressing health disparities and developing tailored healthcare interventions.
