Relative to cisgender people, transgender individuals not only are at an elevated risk of experiencing at least one form of physical or sexual violence, but also at an increased risk of polyvictimization: that is, exposure to multiple types of violence over the life course. Given that polyvictimization increases vulnerability to adverse mental and physical health sequelae, there is a pressing need to identify which sociodemographic subgroups of transgender people are at greater risk of polyvictimization. Understanding these risk profiles will have important implications for developing transgender-specific models for violence prevention, screening, and intervention. Responding to this need in the literature, the present article offers secondary data analyses of the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey, the largest study to-date of transgender people in the United States (N = 27,715 transgender adults), with participants selected from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., as well as several U.S. territories and overseas military bases. Multiple variable regressions examine sociodemographic predictors of five distinct forms of violence, as well as how many of these five violence types were experienced. The examined sociodemographic predictors included gender, sexual orientation, race-ethnicity, citizenship status, ever been homeless, has a disability, transgender outness, gender visual conformity, household income, and age. The five assessed violence victimization types included intimate partner violence, nonpartner sexual assault, antitransgender family violence, antitransgender physical violence during Kindergarten through 12th grade, and past-year antitransgender physical violence. With some exceptions, results indicate that more marginalized segments of transgender communities have a greater likelihood of experiencing polyvictimization. Recommendations are discussed for future research and service provision.

美国跨性别调查中的跨性别多重受害

相对于顺性别者,跨性别者不仅遭受至少一种形式的身体或性暴力的风险更高,而且多受害的风险也更高:即在生命过程中遭受多种类型的暴力。鉴于多重受害增加了对不利的心理和身体健康后遗症的脆弱性,迫切需要确定跨性别人群的哪些社会人口亚群面临多重受害的风险更大。了解这些风险概况将对开发针对暴力预防、筛查和干预的跨性别特定模型具有重要意义。针对文献中的这一需求,本文提供了 2015 年美国跨性别调查的二手数据分析,迄今为止美国最大的跨性别研究(N= 27,715 名跨性别成年人),参与者来自所有 50 个州和华盛顿特区,以及几个美国领土和海外军事基地。多元变量回归检查了五种不同形式的暴力的社会人口预测因素,以及这五种暴力类型中经历了多少。检查的社会人口学预测因素包括性别、性取向、种族、公民身份、曾经无家可归、有残疾、跨性别外在、性别视觉一致性、家庭收入和年龄。评估的五种暴力受害类型包括亲密伴侣暴力、非伴侣性侵犯、反跨性别家庭暴力、幼儿园至 12 年级期间的反跨性别身体暴力以及过去一年的反跨性别身体暴力。除了一些例外,结果表明,跨性别社区中更边缘化的部分更有可能遭受多重伤害。讨论了对未来研究和服务提供的建议。
