“…This supports research that has shown that it is common for individuals identifying as transgender to endorse plurisexual labels (Dargie, Blair, Pukall, & Coyle, 2014;Galupo, Henise, & Mercer, 2016: Kuper, Nussbaum, & Mustanski, 2012. Future research should also consider the ways that gender diversity within the transgender community is related to sexual identity labels (Galupo, Henise, & Mercer, 2016) and experience of sexual fluidity (Katz-Wise et al, 2016). These findings support the recent suggestions that gender diversity should be taken into account when measuring sexual orientation Galupo, Lomash, & Mitchell, 2016), conceptualizing sexual identity (Galupo, Henise, & Mercer, 2016;Tate, 2012), and should be fully incorporated into general theories of sexuality (van Anders, 2015).…”

“…In addition, individuals identifying as queer (65.6%) and pansexual (41.2%) were more likely to identify as transgender or indicate a transgender history or status than were individuals identifying as bisexual (10.4%).

Objective No representative population-based studies of youth in the US exist on gender identity-related disparities in suicidal ideation or on factors that underlie this disparity. To address this, we: (1) examined gender identity-related disparities in the prevalence of suicidal ideation; (2) evaluated whether established psychosocial factors explained these disparities; and (3) identified correlates of suicidal ideation among all youth and stratified by gender identity. Method Data were derived from the 2013–2015 California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS; N=621,189) and a weighted subsample representative of the Californian student population (Biennial Statewide California Student Survey [CSS; N = 28,856]). Results Prevalence of past 12-month self-reported suicidal ideation was nearly twice as high for transgender compared to non-transgender youth (33.73% versus 18.85%; χ2 = 35.48, p <.001). In fully adjusted models within the representative sample, transgender youth had 2.99 higher odds (95% CI: 2.25, 3.98) of reporting past-year suicidal ideation compared to non-transgender youth. Among transgender youth, only depressive symptoms (AOR: 5.44, 95% CI:1.81, 16.38) and victimization (AOR: 2.66, 95 CI%: 1.26, 5.65) remained significantly associated with higher odds of suicidal ideation in fully adjusted models. In multiple mediation analyses, depression attenuated the association between gender identity and suicidal ideation by 17.95%, and victimization by 14.71%. Conclusion This study uses the first representative population-based sample of youth in the US that includes a measure of gender identity to report on gender identity-related disparities in suicidal ideation and to identify potential mechanisms underlying this disparity in a representative sample.

“…In most of the analyses below, we focus on cisgender (non-transgender) respondents because of the indeterminate relationship between sex assigned at birth, gender identity, and sexual orientation among transgender people. Some transgender people report the shifts in their sexual orientation after social or medical transition, while other transgender people identify with the same sexual orientation after transition (Galupo, Henise, and Mercer 2016). The questions related to gender identity are as follows: (Step 1) "Circle your sex.…”

As a growing amount of research examines the impact of sexuality on various demographic outcomes, it becomes important to understand the complex intersections of sexual orientation identity, sexual/romantic attraction, and sexual behavior. However, most previous studies use data from Western countries that have particular histories of sexuality, limiting the generalizability of the findings beyond Western societies. We describe dimensions of sexuality in Japan, where there has not been any religious authority condemning same-sex behavior and any law prohibiting same-sex relations except for a decade in the late 19th century. We use data from the “Survey on Diversity of Work and Life, and Coexistence among the Residents of Osaka City,” the first population-based survey with detailed questions about multiple aspects of sexuality in Japan, to conduct descriptive analysis. More women identify as bisexual or asexual than lesbian. Among the respondents who selected “Don’t want to decide, haven’t decided”—a category originally created for queer/questioning respondents—as their sexual orientation, the proportion of those who indicated exclusive heterosexuality is higher than expected, raising the possibility that some heterosexual respondents with no heterosexual identity may have mistakenly chosen this category. The data suggest that the population of heterosexual-identified men who have sex with men is small. The prevalence of the asexual population differs by whether sexual orientation identity or sexual/romantic attraction is used to capture this population. Our analysis extends the demography of sexuality by examining unique non-Western data and putting in context the previous findings observed in Western countries.
