Abstract
Our knowledge and understanding of gender and sexuality is changing dramatically. With increasing numbers of LGBTQIA+ individuals accessing maternity care, we are now at a critical transition point. How do we turn what has been historically a heteronormative cisgendered system into one that caters for all genders and sexualities? As the first article in a four part series, here we explore the current challenges facing the LGBTQIA+ community when accessing healthcare and how the current maternity system fails to create a safe and inclusive space for new parents. We explore the improvements needed for progressive change to happen and how individual practitioners can care for the LGBTQIA+ community with compassion.
