Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) adolescents face a number of challenges in their lives related to heterosexism and cissexism. Drawing on the microaggressions framework, we conducted two focus groups with LGBTQ adolescents ( = 11; ages 14-18, six trans/genderfluid, one person of color) to (1) explore the type and nature of microaggressions experienced by LGBTQ adolescents; (2) assess the relevance of existing LGBTQ microaggression taxonomies for this group; and (3) understand the impact of microaggressions on LGBTQ adolescents. Participants' experiences of microaggressions reflected complex forms of discrimination emerging from the intersections of sexual and gender identity.
女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别及酷儿(LGBTQ)青少年在生活中面临许多与异性恋主义和顺性别主义相关的挑战。基于微侵犯框架,我们对LGBTQ青少年开展了两个焦点小组访谈(n = 11;年龄在14 - 18岁之间,6名跨性别/性别流动者,1名有色人种),以(1)探究LGBTQ青少年所经历的微侵犯的类型和性质;(2)评估现有LGBTQ微侵犯分类法对该群体的相关性;以及(3)了解微侵犯对LGBTQ青少年的影响。参与者的微侵犯经历反映了源于性取向和性别认同交叉点的复杂形式的歧视。
