• W1918987777 abstract "The limited discourse about older women generally refers to older heterosexual women, although this is rarely made explicit. Older lesbians are under-represented in culture, academia, social policy, health, housing and social care provision. While there are a growing number of generic texts about older lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people, few are located within mainstream sexualities/aging literature. Gender and sexuality researchers have not addressed older age, while gerontologists have under-addressed sexuality in general, and LGB aging in particular. When LGB aging has been studied, there has been a tendency to neglect older lesbians. In a UK study of over 250 lesbians and gay men aged 50-plus, just over a third of the sample comprised women and two-thirds men. A more recent survey of over 1,000 older LGB people consisted of 30% women and 69% men. The majority of the lesbians in the sample were under 65, meaning an under-representation of lesbians of retirement age, and those at the upper end of the age spectrum. The limited number of recent small-scale studies about older lesbians, have also tended to focus on the younger end of the older-age spectrum. Yet older lesbians have very different experiences of aging, depending on age.The under-recognition of older lesbians in research has informed social policies which are based on a hetero-sexist model of women’s aging and of LGB aging as homogenous, privileging gay men's perspectives. Yet older lesbians’ aging is different from that of heterosexual women and gay men. Compared with heterosexual women, older lesbians are more likely to be single, more likely to live alone, less likely to have children, less likely to see biological family regularly and more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression. Older lesbians are also more likely to require social support, sooner and in greater proportion to older heterosexual women. Compared with both gay men and heterosexual women, older lesbians are more likely to end their lives in residential care, because women live longer than men, and because single, childless women (more likely to be lesbian) are disproportionally represented in those settings.The under-representation of older lesbians in social policy has led to formal provision which does not meet their housing, health and social care needs, particularly those who wish to live in women-only or lesbian-only supported living/care spaces, which are not available in the UK. Many avoid formal support when they need it or feel they have to hide their sexual identities to avoid hostility from careers and fellow service users. Greater research is urgently needed, to achieve better informed social policy and provision, more able to address older lesbians’ diverse needs and wishes." @default.
