When men get diseases that most healthcare professionals consider 'women's diseases,' they are diagnosed at later, more serious stages, and vice versa, for example, women are diagnosed later for heart disease, not only because it is still largely considered a 'man's disease', but also because our diagnostic tests are male-biased, in terms in terms of 'typical' being the male presentation. All medical schools and healthcare training should emphasize both biological sex differences and gender biases so healthcare professionals are aware of unconscious biases.
