BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This paper seeks to examine how gender and sexual identities shape sex work experiences among men, two spirit, and/or trans people in Vancouver.
In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with men and trans people in Metro Vancouver from CHAPS (Community Health & HIV Assessment of Men Who Purchase and Sell Sex). An intersectional critical feminist perspective guided the thematic analysis of interview transcripts, and ATLAS.ti 7 was used to manage data analysis.
Three themes emerged from the data: (1) the diversity of sexual and gender identities among sex workers and clients, (2) the expression and exploration of sexual and gender identities through sex work, (3) the migration of sexual and gender minorities to urban centres to escape discrimination in their places of origin.
These findings complicate existing narratives of sex work, demonstrating the need for policies and services that reflect the diversity of sex work experiences.
背景/目的:本文旨在探讨性别和性身份如何塑造温哥华男性、双灵人及/或跨性别者的性工作经历。
对来自CHAPS(购买和出售性服务男性的社区健康与艾滋病毒评估)的大温哥华地区的男性和跨性别者进行了深入的半结构化访谈。交叉性批判女性主义视角指导了访谈记录的主题分析,并使用ATLAS.ti 7来管理数据分析。
数据中出现了三个主题:(1)性工作者和客户中性和性别身份的多样性,(2)通过性工作表达和探索性和性别身份,(3)性和性别少数群体向城市中心迁移以逃避原籍地的歧视。
这些发现使现有的性工作叙述变得复杂,表明需要制定反映性工作经历多样性的政策和服务。
