Rezeppa, BS,a Sophia Choukas-Bradley, PhD,b Rachel H. Salk, PhD,a Michael P. Marshal, PhDa BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Transgender adolescents (TGAs) exhibit disproportionate levels of abstract mental health problems compared with cisgender adolescents (CGAs), but psychosocial processes underlying mental health disparities among TGAs remain understudied. We examined self-reported childhood abuse among TGAs compared with CGAs and risk for abuse within subgroups of TGAs in a nationwide sample of US adolescents. METHODS: Adolescents aged 14 to 18 completed a cross-sectional online survey (n 5 1836, including 1055 TGAs, 340 heterosexual CGAs, and 433 sexual minority CGAs). Participants reported gender assigned at birth and current gender identity (categorized as the following: cisgender males, cisgender females, transgender males, transgender females, nonbinary adolescents assigned female at birth, nonbinary adolescents assigned male at birth, and questioning gender identity). Lifetime reports of psychological, physical, and sexual abuse were measured. RESULTS: Seventy-three percent of TGAs reported psychological abuse, 39% reported physical abuse, and 19% reported sexual abuse. Compared with heterosexual CGAs, TGAs had higher odds of psychological abuse (odds ratio [OR] 5 1.84), physical abuse (OR 5 1.61), and sexual abuse (OR 5 2.04). Within separate subgroup analyses, transgender males and nonbinary adolescents assigned female at birth had higher odds of reporting psychological abuse than CGAs. CONCLUSIONS: In a nationwide online sample of US adolescents, TGAs had elevated rates of psychological, physical, and sexual abuse compared with heterosexual CGAs. Risk for psychological abuse was highest among TGAs assigned female at birth. In the future, researchers should examine how more frequent experiences of abuse during childhood could contribute to disproportionate mental health problems observed within this population.

  • Ethical Trans-Feminism: Berlin's Transgender Individuals' Narratives As Contributions to Ethics of Vegetarian Eco- Feminism
    ETHICAL TRANS-FEMINISM: BERLIN’S TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS’ NARRATIVES AS CONTRIBUTIONS TO ETHICS OF VEGETARIAN ECO- FEMINISMS By Anja Koletnik Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender Studies Supervisor: Assistant Professor Eszter Timár CEU eTD Collection Second Reader: Professor Allaine Cerwonka Budapest, Hungary 2014 Abstract This thesis will explore multi-directional ethical and political implications of meat non- consumption and cisgender non-conformity. My argument will present how applying transgender as an analytical category to vegetarian eco-feminisms, can be contributive in expanding ethical and political solidarity within feminist projects, which apply gender identity politics to their conceptualizations and argumentations. I will outline the potential to transcend usages of gender identity politics upon a cisnormative canon of vegetarian eco-feminisms lead by Carol J. Adams’ The Sexual Politics of Meat (1990). Adams’s canon of vegetarian eco-feminisms appropriates diet as a central resource of their political projects, which contest speciesism and cis-sexism. Like Adams’ canon, my analysis will consider diet as always having political connotations and implications, both for individuals and their embodiments, within broader socio-political realms. Alongside diet, transgender as an analytical category will be employed within analysis, due to its potential of exposing how genders as social categories and constructs are re-formed. My analysis will be based on narrative interviews, which will explore the multi-directional ethical and political implications of meat non-consumption and cisgender non-conformity among members of Berlin’s transgender / cisgender non-conforming and meat non-consuming subcultures.

    FELICIA ELIZOndO TRANSGENDER b. July 23, 1946 ACTIVIST “I am your history. You can never change that no matter what you do to me.” Her activism has been Felicia Elizondo is a self-described “Mexican spitfire, screaming queen, pioneer, crucial in raising legend, icon, diva, 29-year survivor of AIDS and Vietnam veteran.” Her activism has public awareness of been crucial in raising public awareness of transgender rights and history. transgender history. Elizondo was born in San Angelo, Texas. Assigned male at birth, she knew she was “feminine” from the age of 5. Due to the lack of awareness of transgender people, Elizondo grew up believing she was gay. She was sexually assaulted by an older man and suffered bullying and name calling from her peers. At age 14, Elizondo moved with her family to San Jose, California. Around the age of 16, she found refuge at Gene Compton’s Cafeteria in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood, where she became a regular. It was one of the few places in the city where drag queens and transgender women could congregate publicly. In 1966, three years before Stonewall, it became the site of one of the first LGBT riots in U.S. history. The Compton’s Cafeteria riot was led by a group of transgender women against police harassment. Elizondo joined the Navy at age 18 and volunteered to serve in Vietnam. She decided, “If the military couldn’t make me a man, nothing would.” While serving, she realized she would always be attracted to men and told her commanding officer that she was gay.

  • Transgender Terminology
    Transgender Terminology Agender Individuals: People who identify as genderless or gender-neutral. Cisgender Individuals: People who identify with the gender that was assigned to them at birth (i.e., people who are not transgender). Cisgender Privilege: The set of conscious and unconscious advantages and/or immunities that people who are or who are perceived as gender conforming benefit from on a daily basis. Crossdressers: Individuals who, regardless of motivation, wear clothing, makeup, etc. that are considered by the culture to be appropriate for another gender but not one’s own (preferred term to “transvestites”). Drag or In Drag: Wearing clothing considered appropriate for someone of another gender. Drag Kings and Drag Queens: Female-bodied crossdressers (typically lesbians) and male-bodied crossdressers (typically gay men), respectively, who present in public, often for entertainment purposes. FTM Individuals: Female-to-male transsexual people, transsexual men, transmen, or transguys— individuals assigned female at birth who identify as male. Some transmen reject being seen as “FTM,” arguing that they have always been male and are only making this identity visible to other people (instead, they may call themselves “MTM”). Gender: The beliefs, feelings, and behaviors that a specific culture attributes to individuals based on their perceived sex. It involves gender assignment (the gender designation of someone at birth), gender roles (the expectations imposed on someone based on their gender), gender attribution (how others perceive someone’s gender), and gender identity (how someone defines their own gender). Gender Affirming Surgery: Surgical procedures that change one’s body to conform to one’s gender identity. These procedures may include “top surgery” (breast augmentation or removal) and “bottom surgery” (altering genitals).

  • An Argument for Intersectionality Originally, the Feminist Movement
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Minnesota Digital Conservancy By Charles Bengtson for the University of Minnesota First-Year Writing Program under the Department of Writing Studies 1 Transfeminism: An Argument for Intersectionality Originally, the feminist movement arose in opposition of the patriarchal society that oppressed women and perpetuated the social hierarchy that granted men additional rights. As time went on, feminist views diversified, and different branches of feminism began to take form. Naturally, these separate branches arose from conflicting perspectives on a myriad of issues. Recently, the issue at the fore front of the feminist movement is the place of trans people in women’s organizations and feminist spaces. Certain feminist platforms have taken an intersectional approach by seeking to include women from a diverse set of backgrounds, including transwomen and transmen, and others have gone in the opposite direction by developing radical and cisgender feminist platforms. By looking at a handful of arguments made for intersectionality in feminist theory, legal studies, and case studies, this paper will show that the acceptance of trans people into the feminist movement, including feminist spaces and women’s organizations, will further the trans community and feminist community’s agendas of dissolving the social hierarchy that oppresses them both. Since women have begun organizing to address the common injustices they face in society, feminist spaces have arisen correspondingly. “Transgender and Feminist Alliances in Contemporary U.K. Feminist Politics”, written by Deborah M. Withers, discusses how feminist spaces work to serve the feminist agenda, and outlines the debate on the trans community’s place in these spaces.
