Multivariate modeling explored associations of gender expression with traditional socio\u2010demographic variables, and with selection of hysterectomy or uterine\u2010preserving surgery.

Participants with non\u2010polar gender scores were 2.53 times (95% 1.05\u20136.09) more likely to choose uterine preservation versus hysterectomy\u2010based surgery.
