Are You Serious? The Absurdity of Policies Defining Two Sexes … Banning One and Erasing Others!

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
abstractRecent policies-executive actions, judgments, and legislation-that define sex as female and male are rooted in colonial and puritanical interpretations of sex. These policies reinforce cis-heteronormativity and reify hegemonic male dominance in society. Proponents of these policies claim they are based on the definition of biological sex, which would suggest sex is based solely on the presence of gametes, eggs, and sperm. This ignores the natural variations that occur through multiple aspects of sex development that converge to constitute an organism's sex and denies the social aspects of gender and sexuality in humans. Policies based on misinterpretation of biological variability are exclusionary and violate people's civil and human rights, rendering us all less human. We propose recommendations that use inclusive theoretical underpinnings from Black feminism and queer theory and a framework of legal determinants of justice to create policies grounded in human rights principles of dignity and respect.
