“…Despite national guidelines from the American Society for Reproductive of Medicine that encourage inclusivity, many fertility providers are unaware of the systemic inequities faced by sexual and gender minority groups (11,12). The historic inequities faced by LGBTQþ patients include institutionalized discrimination, legal barriers to care, and intergenerational trauma from abuse within the health system (13)(14)(15). These inequities can manifest in ongoing discrimination, poor patient experiences, and institutional mistrust.…”

“…Additionally, health disparities among the SM population have been well documented and include an increased risk of having a chronic disease (Gonzales & Henning-Smith, 2017). Addressing these chronic diseases can involve a plethora of health service use which can be riddled with experiences of discrimination and poor treatment (Connors et al, 2020; Green & Wheeler, 2019; Qureshi et al, 2018; Wolstein et al, 2018). These negative healthcare experiences may contribute to SM individuals turning to informal care from chosen family (Hash & Mankowski, 2017; Muraco & Fredriksen-Goldsen, 2011).…”

Care experiences of sexual minority (SM) adults are largely characterized by the need for receiving care and providing care to their chosen family. This is due, in part, to the lack of family and social support and higher rates of health disparities. Using data from the “Maintaining Dignity: Understanding and Responding to the Challenges Facing Older LGBT Americans” AARP survey ( N = 1694), we examined factors associated with past and anticipated future care experiences among older SMs. Older SM individuals reported high rates of providing care (70%), anticipating future provision of care (71%), and needing care from a loved one (73%). Being older, identifying as female, and having a disability were highly associated with past care experiences. Being female, being in a relationship, and having better self-rated health were highly associated with future anticipated care experiences. These outcomes indicate the importance of having services that are inclusive in serving the SM community.

“…Healthcare providers in all fields will encounter LGBTQ + people so it is essential for all healthcare providers to appreciate the social context that their patients experience. For centuries, Western healthcare systems have overwhelmingly pathologized gender diversity and same-sex contact [12]. Castration, the forced sex reassignment of children without their consent, and refusal to provide life-saving medically necessary care were, and in many places still are, the norm for LGBTQ + people [12,15].…”

Castration, the forced sex reassignment of children without their consent, and refusal to provide life-saving medically necessary care were, and in many places still are, the norm for LGBTQ + people [12,15]. These identities were viewed as disorders, resulting in systematic prejudice and discrimination against gender and sexual minorities that persists today.…”

Contemporary LGBTQ + content that should be included in allied health professions education

Though many individuals in the United States of America and worldwide identify as LGBTQ + (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and other identities), educational programs for allied health professions often do not adequately cover LGBTQ + issues. The literature clearly identifies a dearth of LGBTQ + information in undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education for allied health professionals. This lack of education and training causes real and perceived prejudice and discrimination by healthcare professionals against people who identify as LGBTQ +. Pertinent issues for people who identify as LGBTQ + and the language used to refer to these individuals changes over time so the LGBTQ + content that allied health education programs cover should be periodically reevaluated. This article summarizes the current state of education on LGBTQ + issues in allied health professions education and suggests contemporary LGBTQ + content that should be included in allied health professions education.
