“…A common theme running through the above results is that transgender people are similar to, but distinct from cisgender members of the gender group with which they identify (Nagoshi et al, 2012; Nagoshi et al, 2014; Roen, 2002). The results about RMA aside, cisgender and transgender individuals of the same gender identity differed along other dimensions.…”

“…These experiences may serve to give transgender people a better understanding of both masculine and feminine perspectives on issues such as sexual assault, both of which could partially inform their own unique perspective based on their experiences as transgender people. Given established gender differences in RMA, these blended experiences could, therefore, lead to variability in the RMA scores of transgender people if (for example) some transgender women have had more masculine socialization through their lifetime and, therefore, internalized more traditionally male perspectives on rape (Nagoshi et al, 2012, Nagoshi et al, 2014; Roen, 2002). Both of our control variables were also found to be significant.…”

“…Transgender people have unique experiences in embodiment and self-construction of identity, but may be influenced by the same social constructs and expectations as cisgender people (Nagoshi, Brzuzy, & Terrell, 2012, Nagoshi, Bruzuzy, & Nagoshi, 2014). What this suggests is an interaction between binary gender and transgender status, wherein transgender individuals will have pressure to conform to cisgender attitudes and behaviors but may also differ based on unique effects of being transgender.…”

This research examines how binary gender (male or female) interacts with trans status (cis or trans) to determine rape myth acceptance (RMA), perceived similarity, victim empathy, and victim blaming. Utilizing vignette methodology with an acquaintance rape scenario with a heterosexual female victim, we analyze these variables using multivariate ordinary least squares (OLS) and ordered logit regression. We find support for the argument that both harm avoidance and blame avoidance are operating to predict similarity, empathy, and victim blaming experienced by cisgender and transgender individuals. We argue that this is based on in-group identification from both gender identity and perceived likelihood of future victimization. Specifically, we find that cisgender men have the lowest rates of perceived similarity. Transgender women have the highest rates of empathy whereas cisgender women and trans men have lower rates of victim blaming than cisgender men. Results suggest that the interaction between binary gender and trans status influence perceptions of rape myths and victimization.

“…This indicates that the culture of gender in which gendered bodies exist as a binary is still prevalent. Insisting on a strict binary is also often linked with heterosexuality as being the dominant driving strategy for the continuation of gender norms [42,43], and with the very presence of transnormativity in the society. Transnormativity is a hegemonic ideology that structures transgender experience, narratives, and identification into a hierarchy of legitimacy that is dependent upon binary models and standards, regardless of whether the individual(s) wish to undertake medical transition processesor not [10].…”

Background An increasing body of scholarship focuses on transgender individuals’ experiences when accessing gender-affirming healthcare. However, the experiences of transgender individuals who identify as being of foreign-origin in Finland have rarely been studied. This study aims to fill the gap in research and contribute to the understanding of the experiences of transgender individuals who also identify as belonging to the foreign-origin populations in Finland. Methods Fourteen semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted and analyzed with reflexive thematic analysis (RTA), through the framework of intersectionality. The interviews were part of a broader sample of qualitative data, collected about the experiences of sexual and gender minorities among the foreign-origin populations in Finland. Results The analysis showed two main interconnected themes. Firstly, perceived barriers when accessing gender-affirming care. In this theme, the intersections of transgender identity, foreign background, class, and age affected the experiences of the individuals. Secondly, the necessity of “performing identities:” the intersections of class, transgender identity, nativity, and race affected those. Conclusion The findings of the current study suggest that the intersectional aspects of individual identities create structural inequalities in the Finnish gender-affirming healthcare system. To tackle these inequalities, further research is needed on the healthcare experiences of gender minorities in Finland both within and outside the scope of transgender-specific healthcare.

“…By using the woman/man binary, gender inequalities are further enforced [29]. Habitual application of the two-gender, two-sex binary frame similarly undermines queer and feminist scholars and campaigners who challenge essentialist thinking of gender and how social constructs are used as methods to reinforce “appropriate” behaviors for women and men and multiple forms of oppression such as sexism, homophobia, and racism [32,33,34]. What needs to be considered in disaster management is that neither gender nor sex are fixed terms; rather, their meanings are open to interpretation and fluidity.…”

The dominant discourse of gender focuses on the binary of woman/man, despite the known additional risks for diverse sexualities and gender minorities in disasters. Given the small but growing body of literature concerning gender minorities in disasters, this paper sets out to explore the place of sex and gender minorities in disasters and to examine whether a binary definition needs to be extended. A five-stage rapid review was undertaken following Arksey and O’Malley’s method. Peer-reviewed journal articles in English language were sought that included disaster and gender terms in the title, abstract, and/or body of the article published between January 2015 and March 2019. The search included MEDLINE and Scopus databases. Relevant information from the studies were charted in Microsoft Excel, and results were summarized using a descriptive analytical method. In total, 729 records were identified; 248 that did not meet the inclusion criteria were excluded and 166 duplicates were removed. A total of 315 records were sourced and their full text was reviewed. Of those, only 12 journal articles included content relative to more than two genders. We also recognized that sex and gender terms were used interchangeably with no clear differentiation between the two. We recommend that disaster scholars and practitioners adopt correct terminology and expand their definition of gender beyond the binary; utilize work on gender fluidity and diversity; and apply this to disaster research, policy, and practice.
