German term or phrase: nicht geschlechtsidentischen Hintergrundes
I am translating a clinical study on Osteopathy, involving a number of female patients, ages 12 to 53, receiving osteopathic manipulations (treatment) by two male Osteopaths.

One phrase is giving me trouble, the full sentence reads: "Lediglich von internen vaginalen und rektalen Behandlungen wurde Abstand genommen aufgrund des nicht geschlechtsidentischen Hintergrundes der beiden männlichen Osteopathen gegenüber den teilweise minderjährigen Studienteilnehmerinnen."

I understand well the intention of the sentence, but I'm thinking that there is no proper, literal translation in English of the phrase "nicht geschlechtsidentischen Hintergrundes". I have attempted to reword this particular phrase into a different, yet similar concept:

"Only internal vaginal and rectal treatments were abstained from, as a measure of sensitivity to the number of female study participants who were minors and receiving treatment from two male Osteopaths."

I welcome opinions on whether this translation would work, or any suggestions for improvement. Thank you!
