Abstract

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/two spirit, gender expansive, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual/agender, and pansexual/poly and other queer and trans identities (LGBTGEQIAP+) persons experience disparities in life events when compared to their hetero-affectional counterparts. When examining the disparities, some common themes emerge. The LGBTGEQIAP + population continues to face the following challenges: affordable and affirming healthcare, trans and gender non-conforming youth rights, employment discrimination, unhoused, and interpersonal violence, and sexual abuse. Although research identifies many issues, it is often lacking in how to advocate for the needs of these individuals. Our analysis suggests that social justice-based interventions are necessary to make the largest impact for this community.

摘要

女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别/双重精神、性别扩张、酷儿/质疑、双性人、无性恋/无性恋者、泛性恋/多元和其他酷儿和跨性别身份 (LGBTGEQIAP+) 的人与异性恋者相比，在生活事件中经历差异同行。在检查差异时，会出现一些共同的主题。LGBTGEQIAP + 人口继续面临以下挑战：负担得起和肯定的医疗保健、跨性别和性别不一致的青年权利、就业歧视、无人居住和人际暴力以及性虐待。尽管研究发现了许多问题，但往往缺乏如何倡导这些人的需求。我们的分析表明，要对这个社区产生最大影响，基于社会正义的干预措施是必要的。
