Non-binary gender

In this statement, we will be discussing the health discrimination gender diverse communities face in the medical field. The act of obtaining accurate statistics of gender divergent individuals is an unreliable attempt to analyze these communities in a sociological manner. Besides, most individuals do not want to out themselves with the fear of being a hate crime. Therefore, many do not get the proper health care that aligns with their anatomy. The Antidiscrimination Law under section Title VII and Title IX, inhibits sex discrimination in employment and education, respectively, apply to sexual minorities” (Waller, 2018). This law technology applies to gender diverse individuals since it uses the word sex interchangeably with the correct word gender, therefor health professionals can deny the minorities for health services. Also, Section 1557 defines the term sex as both biological and a state of conscious manner. Because of this vague definition, this federal law may help protect community rights, but it does not enforce them. Thus, discrimination is a concern regarding health professionals. Even though the Affordable Care Act (ACA) seeks to protect minority rights to health care, the Supreme Court is not obliged to reinforce these federal laws. Thus, minority rights are under the consideration of the U.S. Congress.
