Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Greetings to the authors.

I really enjoyed reading this manuscript! I think it makes a valuable contribution.

A few comments that I hope will be helpful.

Lines 77 to 87 seem to not flow as well as the rest of the introduction. I wonder, perhaps, if you would consider reformatting? I think a singular paragraph on longitudinal studies would be better.

Shouldn't REB information be provided in the study design and sample? I see it at the end, but I think it should be mentioned in the study design and sample section.

My main concern is the title relates to Gender (i.e., men, women, non-binary etc), but your analyses use Sex (i.e., male, female intersex). These terms are not interchangeable and need to be adjusted. I really like this resource: https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/abt-apd/pgbap-pacsp.html 

Page 6 of 22 is quite choppy, not complete paragraphs, but rather stand-alone sentences. I think this could be adjusted.

 

Best wishes,
