Hypogonadism Disability Rights

Meaning

Hypogonadism Disability Rights refer to the legal protections afforded to individuals whose gonadal hormone deficiency, or hypogonadism, substantially limits a major life activity, thereby qualifying as a disability under applicable non-discrimination laws. This concept specifically ensures that individuals with conditions resulting in inadequate testosterone or estrogen production are protected from discrimination in employment and public services. It acknowledges the profound systemic impact of sex hormone deficiency on metabolic, psychological, and physical function.
