As a researcher who works in biomedical sciences, a large part of that is lack of women volunteers or consent.
We can’t simply force trials onto women, we have to get consent.
How would you suggest we get women to volunteer for early trials?
I promise we’d love to have a perfect sample set, and gender differences are extremely important (Another study we’re debating doing is with the lethality of a gene knockout in male mice only, but not female mice, which we found incidentally while doing something else)
There is no such thing as “non gender specific”. That’s a lie you’ve been sold. “Gender neutral”’ means cismale.
Hormones play a huge part in drug interactions and cis men do not cycle like ciswomen.
Look up gender differentiated responsiveness to “non-gendered” SSRI dosages for example.
