Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gender diversity is an umbrella term used to describe a diversity of gender identities or expressions beyond masculine and feminine. These may include lesbian, gay, binary, transgender, queer, intersex, and two-spirit (LGBTQ2). Nurses and health care providers do not need to know about every gender identity possible, but must acknowledge that there are many ways to identify outside of the male/female binary. Gender equity refers to the fair treatment (not equal treatment) of all genders according to their respective needs. The term "gender and sexual diversity" is considered to be more inclusive than "LGBTQ2".
