The thing that impacts care more than sex is the hormones in the blood. If care is based on gender assignment rather than the hormones in their body, it can be equally disastrous.

    I expect hormones-at-birth have effects on medical care as do hormones-at-present, and I’d bet anything transgender people (or anyone that has a difference between hormones-at-birth and hormones-at-present, including cis menopausal women for example) have adverse medical outcomes due to that confusion.

    I’m sorry buddy that’s really not a thing. At all.

    You're kinda right, but unless you're on a gender affirming therapy (like HRT), then those hormones are going to be linked to your sex assigned at birth. (Though there are plenty of non-hormonal sex-linked differences in drug interactions as well) And if you are, that's a whole other layer of complication that your medical caregiver would also need to account for when prescribing you certain drugs/medical products. Edit: Added bracket part.
