“…Internalized homophobia, resulting from minority stress, is linked to IPV perpetration and victimization [66]. We found that SM-FSW by identity have higher odds of physical IPV compared to their heterosexual counterparts, aligning with previous research among a general SMW population [67,68], indicating unique vulnerability related to sexual minority status. Further, barriers to existing IPV services include a limited understanding of SM IPV, stigma, and systemic inequities [69].…”

Background: Research suggests sexual minority female sex workers (SM-FSW) face elevated structural vulnerability and HIV risk compared to their heterosexual counterparts. Structural vulnerabilities reflect societal level factors (e.g., sexism, homophobia, racism) that constrain an individual's agency, particularly related to health outcomes. This study examines the association between SM status by identity and behavior, structural vulnerability, and HIV risk among a sample of street-based FSW. Methods: The current study utilizes baseline data from the SAPPHIRE study, a prospective cohort of cis gender and transgender FSW in Baltimore, MD, recruited through targeted time-location sampling from April 2016 to January 2017. The current analysis focuses on cisgender women. The baseline survey ascertained demographics, substance use, intimate partner violence (IPV), and sex work characteristics. Multivariable models were constructed using selfidentity and behaviorally defined SM status as independent variables with vulnerability outcomes (e.g., injection drug use, injection speedball, binge drinking, homelessness, physical IPV, ever had a pimp, and being a minor at sex work entry (age < 18)) as dependent variables. Results: Of the participants (n = 247), 25.5% (n = 63) self-identified as a SM by identity (e.g., gay or bisexual), and 8.5% (n = 21) reported SM behavior (e.g., same-gender sexual behavior) in the past 3 months. In multivariable logistic regression models, SM status by identity was associated with increased odds of injection drug use, binge drinking, homelessness, physical IPV, and being a minor at sex work entry. SM status by behavior was associated with increased odds of binge drinking, homelessness, ever having a pimp, and being a minor at sex work entry. Conclusion: The study indicates disproportionate structural vulnerability and heightened HIV risk among SM-FSW, as compared to their heterosexual counterparts, with differences in their profile by sexual identity and behavior. Findings suggest a need for nuanced interventions tailored to these populations.

“…In comparison to non-TGNC sexual minorities, in a study of lifetime prevalence of IPV among non-TGNC sexual minority men, participants reported as follows: 34.8% sexual abuse, 38.2% physical abuse, 69.7% psychological abuse, and 28.1% suffered an IPV-related injury (Goldberg-Looney, Perrin, Snipes, & Calton, 2016). Among a sample of non-TGNC sexual minority women, the following lifetime prevalence of IPV was reported: 25.3% sexually victimized, 34% physically victimized, 76% psychologically victimized, and 29.3% injured because of IPV (Sutter et al, 2019). These studies show similar patterns of IPV victimization (higher levels of psychological victimization and lower levels of IPV related injury), but with some differences which may require further investigation.…”

There is significant evidence to suggest that intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with mental health problems including anxiety and depression. However, this research has almost exclusively been conducted through heteronormative and cisgender lenses. The current study is an exploratory, quantitative analysis of the relationship between experiences of IPV and mental health among transgender/gender nonconforming (TGNC) adults. A national sample of 78 TGNC individuals completed a survey online measuring participants' experiences with IPV and depression, anxiety, and satisfaction with life. Of the sample, 72% reported at least one form of IPV victimization in their lifetime: 32% reported experiencing sexual IPV, 71% psychological IPV, 42% physical IPV, and 29% IPV assault with injury. All four types of IPV were positively associated with anxiety, and all but physical abuse was significantly associated with depression. None of the four types of IPV was associated with satisfaction with life. In a canonical correlation, IPV victimization and mental health had 31% overlapping variance, a large-sized effect. Sexual IPV and anxiety were the highest loading variables, suggesting that TGNC individuals who have experienced sexual IPV specifically tended to have higher levels of anxiety. These findings support previous qualitative, small-sample studies suggesting that IPV is a pervasive problem in the TGNC community. TGNC individuals who have experienced IPV may be at increased risk for mental health problems, and therefore, IPV history may trigger appropriate mental health screenings and referrals for this population in health care settings.

“…LGBT (Badenes-Ribera et al, 2017;Murray, Mobley, Buford, & Seaman-DeJohn, 2007;Nunan, 2004;Kimmes et al, 2019), acresce ainda a existência de mitos relacionados com os papéis de gênero (a convicção de que os homens cometem agressões e as mulheres são, impreterivelmente, vítimas) (Badenes-Ribera et al, 2015; Barros et al, 2019;Dias, 2016; ISSN 1807-0310 Greenwood, Relf, Bu Huang, Pollack, Canchola, & Catania, 2002;Madera & Toro-Alfonso, 2005;Russell, Kraus, Chapleau, & Oswald, 2019) e com as dinâmicas de relacionamento dos casais homossexuais (e.g., papéis igualitários na díade) (Nunan, 2004), assim como o estigma, a homofobia social e a discriminação (Sutter, Rabinovitch, Trujillo, Perrin, Goldberg, Coston, & Calton, 2018;Kimmes et al, 2019), vigentes na sociedade no que diz respeito ao ser homossexual e, consequentemente, à existência de violência no seio de um casal homossexual (Badenes-Ribera et al, 2015;Greenwood et al, 2002;Madera & Toro-Alfonso, 2005). O presente estudo, uma vez que se foca na problemática da violência entre parceiros íntimos do mesmo sexo, tem como principal objetivo avaliar as porcentagens de prevalência da violência nos relacionamentos íntimos entre pessoas do mesmo sexo, somente gays e lésbicas, no contexto português, relativamente à violência física, psicológica, sexual e socioeconômica, tanto na vertente de vítima quanto na vertente de perpetrador.…”

Resumo O presente estudo teve como objetivo estudar a prevalência da violência na intimidade nos relacionamentos homossexuais, gays e lésbicos. A amostra foi constituída por 48 participantes de nacionalidade portuguesa, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 55 anos (M=26.50; DP=8.011), sendo que 72.9% (n=35) se identificam como lésbicas (sexo feminino) e 27.1% (n=13) se identificam como gay (sexo masculino). As tipologias de violência identificadas com maior prevalência pelas vítimas foram a violência psicológica, seguindo-se a violência física, a violência socioeconômica e a violência sexual. No contexto de perpetração de abuso, as tipologias de violência identificadas com maior prevalência foram a violência psicológica, seguindo-se a violência física e, por fim, com a mesma prevalência, a violência sexual e a violência socioeconômica. Afigura-se necessário um maior investimento na produção de conhecimento científico nesta área.
