Need for comprehensive language with respect to sexual orientation, gender identity and expression in Indian

Abstract:
In spite of the Supreme Court's recognition of transgender and LGBTQIA+ rights, there has been a negligent and insensitive attitude in India to the question of rendering respect to individuals of all sexual and gender identities. No framework for ensuring better protection from societal discrimination faced by the LGBTQIA+ community has been drawn up; hence discrimination continues in society and in healthcare. This article aims to provide an understanding of the terms frequently encountered with the LGBTQIA+ population and orient healthcare professionals to be better equipped at using the correct terms in their everyday practice, as a step towards a more inclusive healthcare system.
