ABSTRACT

This article serves as the first in a series of six articles providing a theoretically and empirically informed approach to understanding Muslim LGBTQ lives from an intersectional positive-growth framework, transformative intersectional psychology (TIP). Within this perspective, LGBTQ Muslims’ religious, gender and sexual identities are mutually interactive and situated within the dynamic systems of power, privilege and oppression. This approach recognizes that LGBTQ individuals negotiate multiple minority identities as they navigate oppression and build pathways of resilience. In the present article, we provide an introduction to TIP and this theory’s relevance to the distinct experiences of LGBTQ Muslims. We then conclude with an overview of the goals of this Special Issue, The LGBTQ Muslim Experience, and introduce the subsequent articles in the series. The articles in this Special Issue address the implications of transformative intersectional psychology for LGBTQ Muslim research, training and clinical practice.

摘要

本文是六篇系列文章中的第一篇，提供了从交叉的正增长框架，转换性交叉心理学（TIP）来了解穆斯林LGBTQ生活的理论和经验知识。从这个角度来看，LGBTQ穆斯林的宗教，性别和性身份是相互互动的，并且位于动力，特权和压迫的动态系统中。这种方法认识到，LGBTQ个人在压迫和建立适应力途径时会协商多个少数群体身份。在本文中，我们对TIP进行了介绍，并且该理论与LGBTQ穆斯林的独特经历相关。然后，我们总结本期特刊《 LGBTQ穆斯林经历》的目标，并介绍该系列的后续文章。本期特刊中的文章探讨了转型性交往心理学对同性恋，双性恋和变性者穆斯林的研究，培训和临床实践的意义。
