Transgender individuals have a high prevalence of self-directed violence; however, there is scant literature focusing on their unique experiences. The differences in self-harm, suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, and depression based on racial/ethnic identity and sexual orientation were examined among transgender individuals. Data were gathered from the Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 National College Health Assessment. Across racial/ethnic identities, greater proportions of transgender students endorsed self-directed violence than their cisgender peers. Among transgender individuals, sexual minorities were more likely to report suicidal ideation than their heterosexual peers, and racial/ethnic minorities had higher odds of attempting suicide than non-Hispanic White individuals.
跨性别者的自我暴力发生率很高;然而,关注他们独特经历的文献却很少。研究了跨性别者中基于种族/族裔身份和性取向的自我伤害、自杀意念、自杀未遂和抑郁情况的差异。数据收集自2008年秋季和2009年春季的全国大学生健康评估。在不同的种族/族裔身份中,跨性别学生中认可自我暴力的比例高于他们的顺性别同龄人。在跨性别者中,性少数群体比异性恋同龄人更有可能报告有自杀意念,种族/族裔少数群体自杀未遂的几率高于非西班牙裔白人。
