Sexual and gender minorities

This is an update of a 2010 search strategy on LGBT-terms, using recently introduced MeSH-terms and with more extensive free text terms.


("Bisexuality"[Mesh] OR "Homosexuality"[Mesh] OR "Transsexualism"[Mesh] OR "Sexual and Gender Minorities"[Mesh] OR “Transgender Persons"[Mesh ***subterm***] OR homosexual*[Title/Abstract] OR bisexual*[Title/Abstract] OR lesbian*[Title/Abstract] OR gay[Title/Abstract] OR gays[Title/Abstract] OR transsexual*[Title/Abstract] OR transgender*[Title/Abstract] OR queer*[Title/Abstract] OR LGB[Title/Abstract] OR LGBT[Title/Abstract] OR LGBTQ[Title/Abstract] OR LGBTI[Title/Abstract] OR LGBTIQ[Title/Abstract] OR GLBT[Title/Abstract] OR sexual minorit*[Title/Abstract] OR gender minorit*[Title/Abstract] OR sexual orientation*[Title/Abstract] OR men who have sex with men[Title/Abstract] OR women who have sex with women[Title/Abstract] OR genderqueer*[Title/Abstract] OR gender nonconforming[Title/Abstract])


Due to the amount of noise they generate, intersex and non-binary are not included, but are mostly covered by other terms in the search strategy.

The original search strategy also included terms related to homophobia.
