Abstract

Introduction

Sexual minoritized people report worse mental health and are at risk of sexual violence compared to their heterosexual peers.

Method

We conducted a survey to explore sexual stigma, sexual violence, and mental health among 326 bi+ and lesbian women and gender minoritized people age 18–25.

Results

Mental health did not differ by sexual identity; sexual stigma and violence were associated with negative mental health symptoms, as were identifying as BIPOC, as trans or nonbinary, or having less formal education.

Conclusion

Sexual stigma and violence are related to mental health among young bi+ and lesbian women and gender minoritized people.

年轻双性恋和女同性恋以及性别少数群体的性暴力和心理健康

摘要

介绍

与异性恋同龄人相比，性少数群体的心理健康状况较差，并且面临性暴力的风险。

方法

我们进行了一项调查，以探讨 326 名双性恋和女同性恋以及 18-25 岁的性别少数群体的性污名、性暴力和心理健康。

结果

心理健康并没有因性别认同而不同；性污名和暴力与消极的心理健康症状有关，确定为 BIPOC、跨性别或非二元性别，或受过较少正规教育。

结论

性污名和性暴力与年轻的双性恋和女同性恋女性以及性别少数群体的心理健康有关。
