Abstract
This study characterizes how sex and gender data have been collected, analyzed, and described in papers published in CBE-LSE over a five year period. Findings demonstrate the prevalence of cisnormative language and methodologies in biology education research. Suggestions are given for being more inclusive of trans* identities in future work.
