Not sure this article got much of a peer review pre-publication but don't worry, I've done one for you x 1. Throughout, "men, women, and trans people" is used. This suggests trans people are not seen by the authors as men or women but instead fall in a 3rd gender category🚩

Despite recent discussions and campaigns to widen nursing’s appeal to people of diverse gender identities, it is a largely female profession Understand how men and transgender and nonbinary people can sometimes be discouraged from becoming nurses

Really not fun fact about #OnlyWomenGetCervicalCancer is that trans men are over 10x more likely to get an inadequate pap smear than cis women. This means that cervical cancer is harder to identify and may not be found until much later

7. The reasons men are under represented in nursing ("women's work" is seen as lesser and men not socialised for caring roles) are *vastly* different to those for trans and non-binary Nurses (discrimination and unsafe work environment). Do not conflate minority with marginalised.
