Attended a webinar at $WORK yesterday on this research into how gender and the immune system interact: there are many health conditions (cytokine storms, long COVID, lupus, etc.) that are more prevalent in some genders than others. The study recruited #trans men on T to help unpick which interactions were more due to genetics, and which more due to circulating sex hormone levels. It was good to see a positive trans/medicine story for once.
