I'm by no means at 100%, probably more like somewhere in the upper 60s. Still, it's better than I was before. I'm trying to get my normal schedule back. Have to wait & see how that works out for me.
This article, while a little wordy does discuss the importance of understanding HIV through the lens or race, gender & biological sex. Many people getting twitchy about admitting the physical reality than all racial ethnic backgrounds can have some differing medical needs. This a physical thing as well sociocultural.
There is the idea of gender. But perceiving yourself as a gender is not the same as being raised that gender. There are probably still a lot behaviors closer to what the person was assigned than they feel like. The sexual behaviors & attitudes of women; cis & trans, often differ.
Finally the aspect of actual biological sex does play a large role in how medicine works. The body of chemistry & composition of a person born female does not match that of male or transgender. There needs to be more research concerning this.
We live in a world where woman, especially those of color, are the most apt to be impacted by HIV. Why are we still studying men & trans more? If a cure is to be had, biologically born women will have to be at the top of the list, not all but pushed aside.
Cya...
