“…Due to sample size, we were able to compare men and women, but not non-binary authors who represented 0.1% of submissions. Due to stigma and discrimination, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other (LGBTQ + ) individuals may be less likely to disclose their gender, and barriers to disclosure have been identified in other settings (e.g., health care, friends and family, school, workplace) (Ragins et al, 2007 ; Mansh et al, 2015 ; Brooks et al, 2018 ; Schrimshaw et al, 2018 ; Lyons et al, 2021 ). Further, we recognize that there are genders other than the male, female, and non-binary options provided to authors for selection and that gender identity is a continuum (Castleberry, 2019 ; Gulgoz et al, 2022 ).…”

Scientific authorship by gender: trends before and during a global pandemic

Many fields of science are still dominated by men. COVID-19 has dramatically changed the nature of work, including for scientists, such as lack of access to key resources and transition to online teaching. Further, scientists face the pandemic-related stressors common to other professions (e.g., childcare, eldercare). As many of these activities fall more heavily on women, the pandemic may have exacerbated gender disparities in science. We analyzed self-identified gender of corresponding author for 119,592 manuscripts from 151 countries submitted January 2019 to July 2021 to the Institute of Physics (IOP) portfolio of 57 academic journals, with disciplines of astronomy and astrophysics, bioscience, environmental science, materials, mathematics, physics, and interdisciplinary research. We consider differences by country, journal, and pre-pandemic versus pandemic periods. Gender was self-identified by corresponding author for 82.9% of manuscripts (N = 99,114 for subset of submissions with gender). Of these manuscripts, authors were 82.1% male, 17.8% female, and 0.08% non-binary. Most authors were male for all countries (country-specific values: range 0.0–100.0%, median 86.1%) and every journal (journal-specific values range 63.7–91.5%, median 83.7%). The contribution of female authors was slightly higher in the pandemic (18.7%) compared to pre-pandemic (16.5%). However, prior to the pandemic, the percent of submissions from women had been increasing, and this value slowed during the pandemic. Contrary to our hypothesis, we did not find that manuscript submissions from women decreased during the pandemic, although the rate of increased submissions evident prior to the pandemic slowed. In both pre-pandemic and pandemic periods, authorship was overwhelmingly male for all journals, countries, and fields. Further research is needed on impacts of the pandemic on other measures of scientific productivity (e.g., accepted manuscripts, teaching), scientific position (e.g., junior vs. senior scholars), as well as the underlying gender imbalance that persisted before and during the pandemic.

“…For example, Grigorovich [ 35 , 36 ] explores quality of care related to service provider knowledge of, and comfort with, sexual diversity and the decision-making processes related to disclosure of older lesbian and bisexual women during interactions with home care service providers, citing experiences of overt and subtle heterosexism and discrimination. References to home care in 2SLGBTQ+ health-related literature have often been anecdotal and/or represent the perspectives and insights of service providers rather than sexual and gender minority people themselves [ 31 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ].…”

Canadian, US, and UK public health and clinical research has identified barriers to health service access for Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, non-binary, and intersex (2SLGBTQ+) communities. While offering important insight into the health service experiences of 2SLGBTQ+ communities, this body of research only recently, and still only minimally, reports on home care access experiences. Drawing on key findings from the 2SLGBTQ+ Home Care Access Project, a mixed-methods, Ontario-wide study, this paper animates an Access and Equity Framework, using participant stories and perspectives to underscore the relevance and effectiveness of the Framework as a tool to support systematic organizational assessment, evaluation, and implementation of access and equity strategies. Home care organizations can use this tool to assess their programs and services along a continuum of intentionally inviting, unintentionally inviting, unintentionally disinviting, and intentionally disinviting care for 2SLGBTQ+ people. To support this process, the framework includes six indicators of access to care: community engagement, leadership, environment, policies and processes, education and training, and programs and services.

“…Some identification changes may be due to a person's continuing sexual identity development, or the emergence of a previously unrecognised aspect of their sexuality (Campbell, Perales, and Baxter 2020). For others, an apparent identification change may be due to a change in circumstances, such as a move into an aged-care facility where an individual no longer feels comfortable disclosing a minority sexual identity (e.g., Lyons et al 2020), or a younger person's move out of the family home which enables them to be more open about their sexual identity. Other people may not strongly identify with any of the commonly presented sexual identity categories, and might choose different answers to the sexual identity question depending on the context (Galupo, Ramirez, and Pulice-Farrow 2017).…”

BACKGROUNDAttitudes to sexual minorities have undergone a transformation in many Western countries in recent decades. With much greater public acceptance, and an increase in policies and legislation to support equality and outlaw discrimination, the need for population statistics on sexual minority populations has grown. However, such statistics remain rare: Only a few sets of population estimates have been produced in a small number of countries, and there are no population projections of which we are aware. OBJECTIVEThe aims of this paper are to introduce a model for producing projections of a national population by sexual identity, suggest ways in which data and conceptual limitations can be handled, and present illustrative population projections for Australia. METHODSAn adapted multistate cohort-component is described, along with various data sources and approaches for preparing plausible projection assumptions. Two illustrative scenarios for the future of Australia's sexual minority population over the 2016-2041 period are presented. RESULTSAccording to the selected scenarios, Australia's sexual minority population is projected to increase rapidly over the coming decades, rising from 0.65 million in 2016 to between 1.25 and 1.57 million by 2041. This growth is generated by sexual minority cohort flow -the gradual replacement of cohorts with lower proportions of sexual minority
