TOPIC SELECTED:
Discuss how healthcare systems historically focused on the male sexuality, leading to gaps in understanding the biological women’s body and how sex and gender both play a role in the gaps. In terms of sex, biological mens bodies have been studied more throughly than a biological women’s. In terms of gender, a women’s health, is not inclusive of transgender women as they are still portrayed as a biological male in the perspective of the health care system, therefore leading to more gaps in the body of a biological female.
