Zusammenfassung:Despite recognition that sex is a spectrum there are no learning outcomes in the Anatomical Society's Core Curricula that effectively deal with the anatomy of differences in sex development or the anatomy of transgender individuals who have undergone gender affirming surgery. We believe this is a gap that needs to be plugged urgently. Particularly in relation to healthcare students the consequence of perpetuating the stereotype of sexual dimorphism as a norm could marginalise these communities of patients even further. We believe that action in the form of a Delphi process to create new outcomes can be a first step in creating change that will lead to a more inclusive anatomy education.
