In America, The John Hopkins Center for Women's Health, Sex, and Gender Differences conducts multidisciplinary research into areas like the gender health gap. Perhaps it is the same sort of social uprising needed to address the health gap of gender; a gap that sees women and the LGBTQI community worse off, but also negatively impacts everyone's health. Gender biases – including the gender stereotype of "men cure, women care" – mean, globally, women spend up to ten times more time caring for children, older people, and the sick. Health research "ignores" transgender and non-binary experiences and the health care system is "particularly bad" for sexual, gender and ethnic minorities. "The neglect of the LGBTQI community from health research reinforces the stigma and marginalisation they face," says Dr Greene.
