So would you say that there are absolutely no commonalities or general trends in a field like say, midwifery?

They should genuinely consider the idea that some of their patients are male? They should investigate all bodily orifices to see where the baby will come out and not assume the patient is a woman with a cervix that is dilating?

It’s extremely difficult to understand how this line of thinking works.

Also!! Does this mean you think the crime stats that prove males make up the majority of rapists is untrue? Because males don’t exist? Is there any commonality between the people making up the rapist demographic besides being rapists? Like the penises they raped with perhaps?

Seriously, this line of thinking would be so harmful if adopted by lawmakers or the general populace.

Individualized care should be the standard, not assumptions based off of outmoded binary sex models.

Tell that to everyone with male-only medical conditions like hemophilia, SCID, erectile dysfunction and prostate cancer.

Moreover, in medical care, assumptions historically have not been based on "binary sex models." The assumptions have been based on the idea that male humans represent the norm for our species, and that female humans are merely deficient male humans with male parts & hormones missing & "boobs & tubes" added.
