Demography of Sexual Minority Women’s Obstetrical and Reproductive Health The demography of family planning and obstetrical health of sexual minority women is a relatively new area of inquiry. The emerging evidence suggests, however, that sexual minority women face a unique...

Heterosexual women start earning less after marriage, whereas the impact of changes in relationship status on earnings is relatively small and non-significant for bisexual and lesbian women. #SOGIdata #LGBTDemography

This suggests that gay men might receive more social support or employer approval after entering a normative relationship form. #SOGIdata #LGBTDemography

Cohabiting or married men generally earn more compared to single men, regardless of sexual identity. However, gay men's earnings only increase after marrying, whereas heterosexual and bisexual men's earnings increase after entering any co-residential relationship. #SOGIdata #LGBTDemography

Drawing on the longitudinal Understanding Society data from the UK to show how the earnings of LGB individuals are associated with relationship status (single, non-residential partner, residential partner, married). #SOGIdata #LGBTDemography

Previous research has found that marriage is related to higher earnings for men and lower earnings for women, but has not often considered whether this holds across different sexual identities. #SOGIdata #LGBTDemography

How is relationship status associated with earnings among LGB people?

Women's earnings depend relatively little on changes in relationship status. At the same time, gay men only receive premiums related to having a partner once they marry. #SOGIdata #LGBTDemography

Overall, findings indicate trans people face persistent economic and social disadvantages, including lower incomes and fewer legal unions. #Translivesmatter #TransResearch #LGBTDemography #SOGI #Demography #Sweden

Transition rates in Sweden (1973–2020) are relatively low in all periods, although they have substantially increased since the early 2010s driven by young transmen. Rates peaked in 2018 before declining slightly in 2019-2020. #TransResearch #LGBTDemography #SOGI #Demography

Demographic Characteristics and Parenthood Across Three Cohorts of Sexual Minority Adults As measurement of sexual minority (SM) people's demographic characteristics has evolved over time, it is of interest to understand how identity intersections within SM communities, such as SM parents,...

#MorningReads Key shifts include changes in the gender of parents and their partners, higher educational attainment among SM parents, and increased poverty rates for SM parents—especially among the youngest cohort—compared to childfree individuals. #lgbtdemography #sogiresearch #soci #demography

LGBTQ+ Identification in U.S. Rises to 9.3% LGBTQ+ identification among U.S. adults has increased to 9.3%.

This represents an increase of more than a percentage point versus the prior estimate from 2023. Longer term, the figure has nearly doubled since 2020 and is up from 3.5% in 2012, when Gallup first measured it. #lgbtdemography

Gender-Affirming Medications Among Transgender Adolescents This cross-sectional study explores the receipt of gender-affirming medications among transgender and gender-diverse adolescents in the US, analyzing these rates by age and sex assigned at birth.

Less than 1/10th of 1% of U.S. youth are transgender & receive gender-related medicine. Gender-affirming care improves mental health yet almost half states restrict access. New study finds < 1,000 teens accessed puberty blockers & <2,000 received hormones. #TransHealth #LGBTdemography
