Abstract

There is growing interest in menopause discrimination in healthcare, the workplace and beyond. However, there is a dearth of research on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) experiences of the menopause. This article reports on a scoping review of the recent literature which identified a very limited number of articles and a wide range of knowledge gaps. This is discussed in relation to LGBTQ+ wider health, healthcare and workplace inequalities, and heteronormative and cisnormative conceptualisations of the menopause. A research agenda is proposed. Research should: be intersectional; differentiate between LGBTQ+ sub-groups; aim to understand how menopause experiences impact and are impacted by minority sexuality/gender identities; and examine how menopause healthcare and workplace support can be LGBTQ+ inclusive. Such research is urgently needed to ensure that LGBTQ+ people are fully included in menopause justice discussions and solutions.

女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人和同性恋(LGBTQ+)更年期:文献综述、知识差距和研究议程。
人们越来越关注医疗保健、工作场所及其他领域的更年期歧视问题。然而,有关女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人和同性恋者(LGBTQ+)更年期经历的研究却十分匮乏。本文报告了对近期文献进行的范围界定审查,该审查发现了数量非常有限的文章和广泛的知识差距。文章结合 LGBTQ+ 在更广泛的健康、医疗保健和工作场所的不平等现象,以及更年期的异性恋和顺性恋概念进行了讨论。提出了一项研究议程。研究应:具有交叉性;区分 LGBTQ+ 亚群体;旨在了解更年期经历如何影响少数群体的性/性别认同,以及少数群体的性/性别认同如何影响更年期经历;并研究更年期医疗保健和工作场所支持如何能够包容 LGBTQ+。迫切需要开展此类研究,以确保 LGBTQ+ 人群充分参与更年期公正讨论和解决方案。

期刊介绍: Health: is published four times per year and attempts in each number to offer a mix of articles that inform or that provoke debate. The readership of the journal is wide and drawn from different disciplines and from workers both inside and outside the health care professions. Widely abstracted, Health: ensures authors an extensive and informed readership for their work. It also seeks to offer authors as short a delay as possible between submission and publication. Most articles are reviewed within 4-6 weeks of submission and those accepted are published within a year of that decision.
