“And then there is another criticism that says that this is the discrimination of a trans community, which could lead to discriminatory policies and practice.” So, we notice these answers after issuing this new guidelines, “she added.

“Critics say the consequence in the real world can be seen, for example, in research,” Howard said. “When [comes] To collect data and exploration of patients who are either intersex or transgender, this means that they would not fall under these new definitions in research and in data.
“So there is concern here that we could lose information in this area. We could lose research in this area. And some doctors and patients could face the real consequences of it. And that is why we see a lot of criticism here when it comes to responding to these new definitions. “
