Terminology note
Menopause and Gender Inclusivity
Whilst most personal experiences with menopause relate to cisgender women (who were born female and identify as female), transgender men and some people who identify as neither men nor women also experience menopause.
This training module refers to “women” in alignment with the available data, which does not routinely identify gender identity. There is little available data on trans and gender-diverse experiences of menopause. Trans and gender-diverse people have unique age-related health needs that clinicians should consider, including referral to specialist services when necessary.
As gender language continues to evolve in the scientific and medical communities, Numark will periodically reassess this usage and make adjustments as necessary.
