Transgender women experience decreased access to HIV-related healthcare relative to cisgender people, in part due to pervasive transphobia in healthcare. This perspective describes intersectionality as a salient theoretical approach to understanding this disparity, moving beyond transphobia to explore how intersecting systems of oppression, including cisnormativity, sexism/transmisogyny, classism, racism, and HIV-related, gender nonconformity, substance use, and sex work stigma influence HIV-related healthcare access for transgender women living with HIV. This perspective concludes with a discussion of how intersectionality-informed studies can be enhanced through studying underexplored intersections and bringing attention to women's resiliency and empowerment.
与顺性别者相比，跨性别女性获得与艾滋病病毒相关医疗保健的机会减少，部分原因是医疗保健领域普遍存在对跨性别人群的恐惧和歧视。这一观点将交叉性视为理解这种差异的一个重要理论方法，超越对跨性别人群的恐惧和歧视，去探讨相互交织的压迫体系，包括顺性别规范、性别歧视/对跨性别女性的厌女症、阶级歧视、种族主义，以及与艾滋病病毒相关的、性别不符、药物使用和性工作污名如何影响感染艾滋病病毒的跨性别女性获得与艾滋病病毒相关的医疗保健。这一观点最后讨论了如何通过研究未被充分探索的交叉点以及关注女性的复原力和赋权来加强基于交叉性的研究。
