In Australia
In Australia, the term gender-diverse or, historically, sex and/or gender-diverse, may be used in place of or alongside transgender. Culturally specific gender-diverse terms include sistergirls/sistagirls and brotherboys, for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Ambiguities about the inclusion or exclusion of intersex people in terminology such as sex and/or gender-diverse led to a decline in the use of the terms sex and/or gender-diverse and diverse sexes and genders (DSG). Current regulations providing for the recognition of trans and other gender identities use terms such as gender-diverse and transgender. In July 2013, the Australian National LGBTI Health Alliance produced a guide entitled "Inclusive Language Guide: Respecting people of intersex, trans and gender diverse experience", which clearly distinguishes between different bodily and identity groups.
