  • The Psychopathology of “Sex Reassignment” Surgery Assessing Its Medical, Psychological, and Ethical Appropriateness
    The Psychopathology of “Sex Reassignment” Surgery Assessing Its Medical, Psychological, and Ethical Appropriateness Richard Fitzgibbons, M.D., Philip M. Sutton, and Dale O’Leary Abstract. Is it ethical to perform a surgery whose purpose is to make a male look like a female or a female to appear male? Is it medically appropri- ate? Sexual reassignment surgery (SRS) violates basic medical and ethical principles and is therefore not ethically or medically appropriate. (1) SRS mutilates a healthy, non-diseased body. To perform surgery on a healthy body involves unnecessary risks; therefore, SRS violates the principle primum non nocere, “first, do no harm.” (2) Candidates for SRS may believe that they are trapped in the bodies of the wrong sex and therefore desire or, more accurately, demand SRS; however, this belief is generated by a disordered perception of self. Such a fixed, irrational belief is appropriately described as a delusion. SRS, therefore, is a “category mistake”—it offers a surgical solution for psychological problems such as a failure to accept the goodness Richard Fitzgibbons, M.D., a psychiatrist, is the director of Comprehensive Coun- seling Services outside Philadelphia. Philip Sutton, Ph.D., is a psychologist in private practice in South Bend, Indiana; he also works in elementary schools in the Diocese of Fort Wayne–South Bend and at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit. Dale O’Leary is the author of One Man One Woman: A Catholic’s Guide to Defending Marriage and The Gender Agenda: Redefining Equality. © 2009 The National Catholic Bioethics Center 97 THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC BIOETHICS QUARTERLY SPRING 2009 of one’s masculinity or femininity, lack of secure attachment relationships in childhood with same-sex peers or a parent, self-rejection, untreated gender identity disorder, addiction to masturbation and fantasy, poor body image, excessive anger, and severe psychopathology in a parent.

  • Experiences and Factors Associated with Transphobic Hate Crimes Among Transgender Women in the San Francisco Bay Area: Comparisons Across Race Akua O
    Gyamerah et al. BMC Public Health (2021) 21:1053 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-021-11107-x RESEARCH Open Access Experiences and factors associated with transphobic hate crimes among transgender women in the San Francisco Bay Area: comparisons across race Akua O. Gyamerah1,2*, Glenda Baguso1, Edda Santiago-Rodriguez1, Aria Sa’id3, Sean Arayasirikul4, Jess Lin5, Caitlin M. Turner4, Kelly D. Taylor6, Willi McFarland5, Erin C. Wilson5 and Paul Wesson7 Abstract Background: Trans women experience high rates of gender-based violence (GBV)—a risk factor for adverse health outcomes. Transphobic hate crimes are one such form of GBV that affect trans women. However, little is understood about factors that shape transphobic hate crimes and racial/ethnic variation in these experiences. To contextualize GBV risk and police reporting, we examined self-reported types and correlates of transphobic hate crimes by racial/ethnic group of trans women in the San Francisco Bay Area. Methods: From 2016 to 2018, trans women participated in a longitudinal cohort study of HIV. Secondary data analyses (N = 629) examined self-reported experiences of transphobic hate crimes (i.e., robbery, physical assault, sexual assault, and battery with weapon) by race/ethnicity, and whether hate crimes were reported to the police. Chi-square tests and simple logistic regression examined demographic, sociocultural, and gender identity factors associated with transphobic violence experiences and police reporting. Results: About half (45.8%) of participants reported ever experiencing a transphobic hate crime; only 51.1% of these were reported to the police. Among those who reported a hate crime experience, Black (47.9%) and Latina (49.0%) trans women reported a higher prevalence of battery with a weapon; White (26.7%) and trans women of “other” race/ethnicities (25.0%) reported a higher prevalence of sexual assault (p = 0.001).

She has been fighting in and out of the cage, and still continues her battle while also fighting off the grips of Father Time. She is a mother of one teenage daughter and now dating Amy Pierson. Fox has been living in the Chicago area—now, the northwest suburbs—for eight years, coming to the Windy City to escape gender issues within her family. Fox spoke exclusively with Windy City Times’ reporter Ross Forman to discuss her battles in and out of the cage, her long-term goals to aid the LGBT community, and more.

Para tanto, analisa 510 comentários postados em três artefatos culturais específicos de lutas, buscando apreender os discursos que seus usuários produziram sobre a participação de uma atleta transgênero. Da análise dos dados empíricos, foi possível identificar que os argumentos utilizados para justificar o caráter impróprio da disputa estavam assentados em duas perspectivas: a utilização de discursos jurídicos e médicos para atestar a vantagem de Fallon Fox sobre sua oponente e a transfobia, entendida como a aversão ou repulsa a pessoas trans. Palavras-chave: Artes Marciais Mistas. Transgênero. Atletas. 1 INTRODUÇÃO Identificado como uma prática esportiva caracterizada pelo emprego de técnicas oriundas de diversas artes marciais e de esportes de combate, o MMA (Mixed Martial Arts ou Artes Marciais Mistas) tem conquistado um espaço privilegiado no universo cultural das lutas, sobretudo a partir de sua ampla divulgação na mídia esportiva, promovida, em grande medida, pelo Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a maior organização de MMA do mundo1.
