There are several reasons for “Know the Differences”.
One reason is to provide sex and gender-health information and resources.
Knowledge is power. As patients we can’t ask the question if we don’t know there is one.
The question is: “Does sex and gender matter to my health?”
For comments about sex and gender issues in medicine and daily life, read Sex and Gender Matters.
Another reason is to raise awareness that sex and gender should be considered in all areas of healthcare and research for the sake
of all of us. There is a lot of science to back this up (Go to Know).
