    Often times people assigned female at birth are excluded from these kinds of medical trials because the female cycle can affect the measurements so much, which can distort the outcome. Still sucks but there’s at least medical dispensation to discriminate.

    Source: I was excluded from some paid medical test on some grounds and I had a conversation about reasons for exclusions with the people that were rejecting my application :-)
