Origin

2020 - June Standing Committee

In the draft resolution, paragraph 9.3.3, replace the word "men" with the following words "people assigned male at birth".

Explanatory note

This would allow for two things: (1) that trans women who are still able to produce semen are also studied and included in research, and (2) that trans men are not implied to be not men, given their different needs.
