 * Wikipedia does not appear to have guidelines for using gendered language, but the APA recommends that inclusive language be utilized (see heading "Sexual orientation and gender diversity"). Updating language to reflect physical attributes rather than gender is not only a more accurate description of people affected by certain health conditions—PCOS is more common in trans men then the general afab population—but it increases access to health care.

 * Wikipedia uses its own guidelines. Until there is an established WP:MOS consensus for that wording, do not change the current wording. If you have sufficient WP:MEDRS sourcing for it, you can add information about PCOS statistics regarding trans men to that PCOS article. OhNo itsJamie Talk 14:50, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for that information and the suggestion. I am new to editing here and I now see the guidelines under Gender-neutral language > Precision and Clarity now. Circuitsmaximus (talk) 15:03, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
