UTI in a man is always considered complicated and requires more of a workup, different meds and typically longer treatment. Sex is vitally important when assessing for UTI. Gender identity is useless to me in that case and in fact worse than useless. I might wind up treating a man with five days of macrobid and it fails and he ends up in kidney failure, or a woman with six weeks of cipro and she ruptures her Achilles tendon. What a mess.
