Prompt:
"Do you identify as being part of a marginalized group socioeconomically or in terms of access to quality education or healthcare? If so, please describe how this inequity has impacted you and your community."

I had a strict traditional upbringing, had to repress my LGBTQ identity, and had no exposure to sexual education or sexual health. But I wasn't sure if that would be okay to put for this prompt. It does ask if I identify as part of a group and how it affected the community, and LGBTQ patients are definitely marginalized in healthcare. But I didn't want to use this prompt in case it was meant for things like race or SES.

Thanks in advance for your opinions!

Yes. It qualifies (See Treating Transgender Patients free HPSA course, more in Becoming a Student Doctor HPSA course, see my signature).

What is your character limit? Personal experience is desirable.
