| Abstract | Compared to the general population, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) people in Australia experience worse health across a range of health indicators. These include higher alcohol and drug use [1], anxiety, self-harm and suicidal ideation [2], higher rates of sexually transmitted infections among gay men [3] and increased rates of obesity among lesbian and bisexual women [4]. Intersex individuals face a number of medical challenges, including sterilisation, normalising surgeries in infancy and inappropriate medical care into adulthood [5]. |
