Sex and Gender Minority Lexicon
Created by members of QU's Sex and Gender Minority Lexicon Development Task Force.
This Sex and Gender Minority Lexicon is a reference for all members of the Netter community, including medical science and clinical faculty, staff, and learners at all stages. Our goal is for all of us to use the document to inform our language choices, with the aim to communicate respect and inclusion when we interact, write lectures and exam questions, and care for patients. This lexicon is not a comprehensive resource for every aspect of LGBTQ+ healthcare. The task force has included links to additional resources that will help us learn more about the important and vast topic of LGBTQ+ healthcare.

Respectful Dialogue Toolkit
This toolkit defines respectful dialogue, identifies goals for faculty, staff, and students, provides strategies, and shares additional resources and supports. Includes several webinars, as well as a page of additional resources for respectful dialogue. From Ohio State University.
