“…Second, there are important cultural aspects that constrain the results, preventing them from being generalized. For example, in Brazil, violence against TGD individuals is constant and presents itself in numerous ways, from murder and abuse to individual prejudice (Costa et al, 2015). According to the Trans Murder Monitoring Project (Transgender Europe, 2016), Brazil has the highest (absolute) number of homicides of TGD individuals among surveyed countries.…”

et al. 2018

Research involving transgender and gender diverse people (TGD) increased in the last years, mostly concerning healthcare associated to this population. Few studies dedicated their analysis to the impact of parental support on transgender people, even though this is an important aspect in creating a safe environment on which these individuals can build their identity. In addition, the link between family support, TGD identity and homelessness is not completely established. Thus, due to the specificities of the family context of TGD individuals, the aim of this study is to investigate the association between family support and TGD in different moments of the process of gender affirmation. In addition, this study also aims to explore the relationship between a lack of social support and low self-esteem, home abandonment, and dwelling in the street. The survey was designed based on the TransPULSE project and was made available in electronic format. The sample was constituted of 423 TGD residents in two Brazilian states. A Structural Equation Model analysis suggested that the impact of gender affirmation status on homelessness was mediated by parental support, through self-esteem, and the need to move from home. The association between the status of the gender affirmation procedures, family support and self-esteem was significant and indicated that the further TGD individuals advanced in gender affirmation, the more self-esteem and family support they would have. The association between family support and self-esteem indicated that family support was associated with higher self-esteem. Low family support was associated with the willingness to move from home due to one’s TGD status and there was also a significant correlation between low self-esteem and the willingness to move from home due to one’s TGD status. Finally, homelessness was associated with the willingness to move with a large effect size. Limitations include the sample that was constituted by individuals with Internet access and who had more contact with TGD communities. The findings indicate directions for interventions involving TGD people and their families, considering the parental relationship as a critical variable to improve TGD quality of life in the process of gender affirmation.

“…24 This is particularly important in Brazil, where violence against transgender people is a constant source of chronic stress. 25 In our study, adults in the pre-GAS group who were receiving counseling did not exhibit lower rumination scores when compared to patients who had undergone GAS. Due to the cross-sectional nature of our study, this finding does not present causality.…”

et al. 2016

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze rumination levels of transsexual women before and after gender affirmation surgery (GAS). Rumination scores may represent a broader measure of GAS success and an alternative to patient-reported satisfaction, quality of life, well-being, or the presence of “caseness” for anxiety or depression as previously established in the literature.Methods: Thirty-nine transsexual women were recruited. The participants completed the rumination scale of the Response Styles Questionnaire (RSQ) and were divided into three subsets according to the treatment time.Results: The rumination scores were lower in the transsexual women who had undergone surgical procedures on primary sexual characteristics and gradually decreased with each additional procedure completed with respect to secondary sexual characteristics.Conclusion: Rumination appears to comprise an important marker of improvement in post-GAS transsexual women.

“…O preconceito contra diversidade sexual e de gênero entre os/as psicólogos/as da pesquisa apresentou uma média baixa em relação às pontuações da escala. No entanto, por ser uma medida de preconceito extremo, qualquer valor acima do mínimo pode ser considerado preocupante, especialmente tendo em vista a população estudada (Costa, Bandeira, & Nardi, 2015b;Costa et al, 2015a).…”

“…A 2016, foi utilizada com a permissão do autor responsável. A escala fornece uma medida culturalmente sensível de manifestação extrema de preconceito contra diversidade sexual e de gênero (Costa et al, 2016;Costa et al, 2015a) e foi desenvolvida a partir de uma revisão sistemática sobre homofobia e sexismo (Costa, Peroni, Bandeira, & Nardi, 2013a) e outra sobre instrumentos que mediam homofobia e construtos correlatos (Costa, Bandeira, & Nardi, 2013b). A validade de critério para o preconceito foi confirmada pela comparação com a escala de Distância Social de Bogardus (Rodrigues, 2009).…”

Resumo: Examinar as crenças de psicólogos/as sobre indivíduos e grupos atingidos pelo preconceito contribui para a preparação do/a profissional no atendimento a esse público. Neste estudo, investigou-se a relação entre preconceito e crenças sobre diversidade sexual e de gênero em psicólogos/as brasileiros/as. Um questionário online foi respondido por 497 profissionais, entre 22 e 69 anos (M = 34,52; DP = 9,57), ligados/as a 22 dos 23 Conselhos Regionais de Psicologia. Utilizou-se a Escala de Preconceito contra Diversidade Sexual e de Gênero Revisada para mensurar o preconceito e a Escala de Crenças sobre a Natureza da Homossexualidade para investigar crenças sobre homossexualidade, a qual foi replicada para também investigar crenças sobre bissexualidade e transexualidade. Observaram-se índices baixos de preconceito e a predominância de crenças psicossociais para compreender a diversidade sexual e de gênero. O tipo de crença que melhor explicou a ocorrência de preconceito foi de base psicológica, representado pelas atribuições causais de perversão, má resolução de conflitos com figuras parentais e abusos sexuais sofridos na infância. Além disso, embora com tamanhos de efeito pequenos, foram encontradas correlações positivas de preconceito com a perspectiva teórica da psicanálise e orientação psicanalítica, com a modalidade de avaliação psicológica e/ou psicodiagnóstico e com a área de atuação em neurociência do comportamento. Tendo em vista a população estudada, ainda que os índices tenham sido baixos, considera-se preocupante a manifestação de preconceito e, em especial, o fato de crenças psicológicas terem sido as que melhor explicaram os índices mais elevados de preconceito.
