Searching note for GLBTI in PubMed: New Bolding Feature on Mapped Terms

"Lesbian" maps to ("homosexuality, female"[MeSH Terms] OR ("homosexuality"[All Fields] AND "female"[All Fields]) OR "female homosexuality"[All Fields] OR "lesbian"[All Fields]). The mapped terms will then be bolded in the results.

"Gay" as a search term now maps to: "homosexuality, male"[MeSH Terms] OR ("homosexuality"[All Fields] AND "male"[All Fields]) OR "male homosexuality"[All Fields] OR "gay"[All Fields]

Search the MeSH database for other specific terms. "Transgender" and "intersex" are not MeSH Subject Headings, but "sex differentiation disorders," "transsexualism" and "gender identity" are. "Transgender*" returns: "transgender[All Fields] OR transgender/questioning[All Fields] OR transgender/transsexual[All Fields] OR transgender/transsexual/queer[All Fields] OR transgendered[All Fields] OR transgenderism[All Fields] OR transgenderists[All Fields] OR transgenders[All Fields]
