Trans women are specifically vulnerable to interpersonal violence. Being perceived as the gender that a transgender person identifies with, defined in some contexts as passing, may influence violence ratings. The EVAS (Violence and Health Self-Evaluation) study was a cross-sectional study that enrolled 121 trans women between 2019 and 2020 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, aiming to investigate the association between self-reported passing and different types of interpersonal violence. We enrolled 121 participants who had a median age of 36.3 (interquartile range [IQR] 13.7). Most of them were Black/mixed (78.5%) and had at least a high school education (63%). Most participants considered themselves as trans women (71.9%). Their median monthly income was $252.50 (IQR $302.50). Only 40 (33.1%) trans women had a main partner. Trans women with high passing had a higher prevalence of family violence and lower prevalence of observed police violence, violence in open and closed public spaces. Participants that reported a high passing had higher prevalence of family violence (p = .016); moreover, they reported observing less frequently police violence in the neighborhood they lived in for the last 12 months (p = .012) as well as having lower rates of suffering violence. Trans women who reported high passing had 81% (56%-92%) lower chance of suffering violence in open public places more than once, while prior racism experience had a positive association with violence in an open public place (aOR = 3.93, 95% CI [.48, 15.40]). Passing seems to protect from violence in public spaces, whilst it increases family violence. Data also suggest that observing police violence and violence in close public spaces. There is an urgent need to better understand the complex relationships around violence and foster its prevention.

跨性别女性特别容易受到人际暴力的伤害。被视为跨性别者认同的性别，在某些情况下被定义为传递，可能会影响暴力评级。EVAS（暴力与健康自我评估）研究是一项横断面研究，2019 年至 2020 年间在巴西里约热内卢招募了 121 名跨性别女性，旨在调查自我报告的过世与不同类型的人际暴力之间的关联。我们招募了 121 名参与者，他们的中位年龄为 36.3 岁（四分位距 [IQR] 13.7）。他们中的大多数是黑人/混血儿（78.5%），并且至少受过高中教育（63%）。大多数参与者认为自己是跨性别女性（71.9%）。他们的月收入中位数为 252.50 美元（IQR 302.50 美元）。只有 40 名（33.1%）跨性别女性有主要伴侣。高通过率的跨性别女性的家庭暴力发生率较高，而观察到的警察暴力、开放和封闭公共场所的暴力发生率较低。报告高通过率的参与者家庭暴力发生率较高（p = .016）；此外，他们报告说在过去 12 个月中，他们所居住社区的警察暴力事件发生率较低（p = .012），并且遭受暴力的比率较低。报告高通过率的跨性别女性不止一次在公开公共场所遭受暴力的几率降低了 81% (56%-92%)，而先前的种族主义经历与公开公共场所的暴力行为呈正相关（aOR = 3.93, 95 % CI [.48, 15.40])。通过似乎可以防止公共场所的暴力，同时它会增加家庭暴力。数据还表明，在封闭的公共场所观察警察的暴力行为和暴力行为。迫切需要更好地了解围绕暴力的复杂关系并促进其预防。
