Sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals include, but are not limited to, those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ). LGBTQ individuals are considered a marginalized and at-risk population, facing significant health care inequities when compared with heterosexual and cisgendered (ie, "gender-conforming") populations. They are more likely than heterosexual and cisgendered individuals to experience discrimination, bias, and dissatisfaction with the medical system. This article provides a broad overview of systemic inequalities confronting SGM patients.
性少数群体(SGM)包括但不限于那些自认为是女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别和酷儿(LGBTQ)的人。与异性恋和顺性别者(即“符合性别规范”)相比,LGBTQ 者被认为是一个边缘化和处于危险之中的群体,他们在获得医疗保健方面存在着显著的不平等。他们比异性恋和顺性别者更有可能经历歧视、偏见和对医疗系统的不满。本文概述了 SGM 患者所面临的系统性不平等问题。
