Menopause experiences in sexual minority women and non-binary people

By 2060, there will be an estimated 5 million sexual and gender minority adults who are 50+ years old in the United States [1]. Lesbian/gay, bisexual, and queer-identified1 cisgender women, to whom we refer as sexual minority women (SMW), and non-binary people are resilient and diverse. Despite making substantial strides towards achieving visibility and acceptance, the healthcare experiences of these communities remain overwhelmingly characterized by challenges, disparities, and unmet needs. Additionally, SMW and non-binary people continue to be excluded or overlooked in medical research even as population numbers grow.
