As you may be aware, our computer system has not, until now, been good at accurately reflecting the gender preferences of gender-diverse people. There have been limited choices (male, female and unknown), and no ability to differentiate between sex assigned at birth and current gender. In addition, there was no ability to select preferred pronouns and the optional titles were very narrow.

We are delighted to let you know that this has now changed. For all patients there is both a sex assigned at birth category as well as multiple gender choices. There is also the ability to enter personalized gender descriptions, pronouns, and titles if none of the available choices are a good fit.

Please let us know what your preferred gender, pronouns, and title are.
