Glossary
The terms under the categories to the left (or below if you are viewing from a mobile device) appear in the book Reproductive Losses: Challenges to LGBTQ Family-Making. Rather than create a standard glossary, since many of these terms are used commonly by LGBTQ+*-identified people, healthcare professionals, and academics, I provide only brief definitions for each (and indicate ways that my usage may differ from standard definitions). In most cases, I also provide links to specific websites or existing glossaries that include definitions of these and related terms, such as:
