ABSTRACT

A small body of literature suggests that transgender people are more frequently exposed to sexual violence while they are under the influence of alcohol than cisgender counterparts. The goal of this study was to report any differences between transgender (n = 1,136) and cisgender (n = 74,277) respondents to the Global Drug Survey on their experiences of being taken advantage of sexually while under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs. We found that transgender people were more likely than cisgender people to have experienced being taken advantage of in the last year (9.3% vs 4.2%) and more than 12 months preceding the survey (24.9% vs 14.3%). Non-binary participants were more likely than binary transgender participants (27.7% vs 17.8%) to report being taken advantage of sexually more than a year preceding the survey. Similarly, trans respondents assigned female at birth were more likely than trans respondents assigned male at birth to report this (30.0% vs 19.7%). Nonspecialist services for survivors of sexual violence should be adequately prepared for and accommodating toward transgender clients. Future research should explore their unique needs. Moreover, clinicians who assess transgender people should remain mindful of their increased likelihood of being taken advantage of sexually while under the influence of alcohol and other drugs and consider trauma-informed interventions.

摘要

一小部分文献表明，与顺性别者相比，跨性别者在酒精影响下更容易遭受性暴力。本研究的目的是报告全球毒品调查的跨性别 (n = 1,136) 和顺性别 (n = 74,277) 受访者之间在酒精和/或其他药物影响下被性利用的经历的任何差异. 我们发现，在去年（9.3% 对 4.2%）和调查前 12 个月以上（24.9% 对 14.3%），跨性别者比顺性别者更有可能经历过被利用。非二元参与者比二元跨性别参与者更有可能（27.7% 对 17.8%）报告在调查前一年多被性利用。相似地，出生时被分配为女性的跨性别受访者比出生时被分配为男性的跨性别受访者更有可能报告这一点（30.0% 对 19.7%）。为性暴力幸存者提供的非专业服务应该为跨性别客户做好充分准备并适应他们。未来的研究应该探索他们的独特需求。此外，评估跨性别者的临床医生应始终注意他们在酒精和其他药物的影响下被性利用的可能性增加，并考虑采取创伤知情干预措施。未来的研究应该探索他们的独特需求。此外，评估跨性别者的临床医生应始终注意他们在酒精和其他药物影响下被性利用的可能性增加，并考虑采取创伤知情干预措施。未来的研究应该探索他们的独特需求。此外，评估跨性别者的临床医生应始终注意他们在酒精和其他药物影响下被性利用的可能性增加，并考虑采取创伤知情干预措施。
