Everywhere but Unnecessary: Rethinking Sex Markers in Healthcare
Does Your Hospital System Need to Reassess?
Sex markers are everywhere in healthcare—from ID bracelets to patient boards—but does their constant presence actually help deliver better care? Or does it do more harm than good? In this episode, I challenge the assumption that displaying sex everywhere improves patient care. You’ll learn how this overlooked detail leads to misgendering, incorrect assumptions about anatomy, and discomfort for many patients—cis and trans alike.
It’s time for a reassessment. What would happen if we only displayed sex where it’s truly needed? Listen in to explore how a simple change could improve patient experience and medical excellence.
