Wittgenstein would have such a field day with the semantic games we're playing these days. The disclaimer basically says: "man" has a purely subjective meaning, but we're going to keep using the word anyway because we know you know what we mean objectively. Kind of funny if you think about it. I think that's what the (̶n̶o̶w̶ ̶n̶u̶k̶e̶d̶) comment was pointing out.

But this is an article about cancer, and one could just as easily imagine that testosterone levels, or estrogen levels, or amounts of various types of tissue, etc could affect incidence of various types of cancer. For example, brief searching found: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_androgen_insensitivity_syndrome https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_androgen_insensitiv... XY people with this condition have rather different cancer risk profiles than the general population of XX cis females or XY cis males.
