Supporting sexual and gender minority health-care workers

Nat Rev Nephrol. 2022 Jun;18(6):339-340. doi: 10.1038/s41581-022-00573-0.

Abstract

Sexual and/or gender minority health-care workers are subject to the heteronormativity and cisnormativity of society and often face open discrimination. Empowering these individuals to bring their full, authentic selves to work so that they can serve their patients and institutions with the totality of their strengths requires institutes and cisgender or straight allies to support LGBTQ+ communities by creating a culture of inclusivity and enacting progressive policies.
