“…It has become evident from this systematic review that using inclusive language and addressing discriminative language will make LGBTQ+ people feel more comfortable and accepted within the maternity setting. The use of preferred pronouns, inclusive language and terminology is imperative in the provision of more culturally competent and inclusive care (Schreuder, 2019). There is a professional responsibility to be informed and to act respectfully towards people who have these identities to ensure they have access to healthcare without discrimination or abuse, to ensure that the health and social needs of LGBTQ+ populations are being sensitively addressed (Colpitts and Gahagan, 2016).…”

Background: There has been growing attention to addressing the health inequalities and concerns of LGBTQ+ people, with research evidence highlighting areas requiring further attention and development. The distinct concerns of LGBTQ+ people when accessing midwifery care and support is an issue requiring a specific focus to ensure needs are met effectively.Aim: The aim of this systematic review was to critically appraise and synthesise the best available evidence regarding the views and experiences of LGBTQ+ people in relation to midwifery care and supports.Method: A systematic review was undertaken to identify all relevant studies meeting the inclusion criteria. A total of eleven papers were included in the review, utilising the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) method. Methodological quality was evaluated using the Mixed Methods Assessment Tool (MMAT).Findings: Following data analysis, the themes that emerged were: (i) Contemplating pregnancy and ante-natal experiences, (ii) pregnancy and labour issues and concerns, and (iii) post-natal ongoing care and supports. Conclusion and implications for practice:It has become apparent from this systematic review that LGBTQ+ individuals have variable experiences when accessing midwifery care and support. Midwifery policies and practice guidelines should be reflective of the distinct needs of LGBTQ+ people and their families and friends. Future studies could focus more on the impact and outcomes of their care experiences within midwifery services.

“…In educational domains, LGBTQIA2S+ students experience disproportionately higher instances of bullying, marginalization, depression, anxiety, suicidality, academic difficulties, and truancy compared to heterosexual, cisgendered pupils (Walton, 2005;Almeida et al, 2009;Garron and Logan, 2020;Shevlin and Gill, 2020;Schreuder, 2021). Trans students often feel unsafe within the ambivalent ambience of cisgenderism inscribed in schools (Ryan and Hermann-Wilmarth, 2013).…”

In the international contemporary discourse transgender individuals arguably have an increased presence within public media highlighting the visible diversity that constitutes the LGBTQI2S+ community. However, in response to the challenging of cisgendered normative assumptions there has been an unprecedented swathe of anti-trans measures executed through the frenzied repealing of rights and freedoms within the key arenas of legal, medical, sporting, and educative domains. This paper explores the intersections of pathologizing rhetoric that emplotted anti-trans and transphobic discourses within and across public consciousness. The quotidian presence of these discourses provoked in us a wondering about how evolving conceptual debate is constructing a trans inclusive global imaginary. In this paper we situate trans safety not as a singular concept, but rather a differentially experienced phenomenon that is related to and embedded in questions of bio power and privilege. As such, when we refer to a trans safety imaginary, we are not solely addressing protection from physical violence but also safeguarding against psychological and emotional vulnerability.
