To examine exposure to psychological attempts to change a person's gender identity from transgender to cisgender (PACGI) among transgender people in the United States, lifetime and between the years 2010 and 2015, by US state. We obtained data from the 2015 US Transgender Survey, a cross-sectional nonprobability sample of 27 716 transgender people in the United States, to estimate the percentage exposed to PACGI in each US state. Overall, 13.5% of the sample indicated lifetime exposure to PACGI, ranging across all US states from 9.4% (South Carolina) to 25.0% (Wyoming). The percentage of transgender adults in the United States reporting exposure to PACGI between 2010 and 2015 was 5% overall, and across all states ranged from 1.2% (Alaska) to 16.3% (South Dakota). Despite major medical organizations identifying PACGI as ineffective and unethical, 13.5% of transgender people in the United States reported lifetime exposure to this practice. Findings suggest that this practice has continued in every US state as recently as the period 2010 to 2015.
为了研究美国跨性别者一生中以及 2010 年至 2015 年间经历过的、试图改变其性别认同的心理干预（PACGI）的暴露情况，我们从美国跨性别者调查（2015 年）中获取了数据，这是一项对美国 27716 名跨性别者进行的横截面非概率抽样调查，用以估计每个州的 PACGI 暴露比例。总体而言，样本中有 13.5%的人表示一生中曾经历过 PACGI，范围涵盖全美所有州，从 9.4%（南卡罗来纳州）到 25.0%（怀俄明州）。2010 年至 2015 年间，美国有 5%的跨性别成年人报告称曾经历过 PACGI，全美各州的比例从 1.2%（阿拉斯加州）到 16.3%（南达科他州）不等。尽管主要的医学组织已经将 PACGI 认定为无效和不道德的做法，但仍有 13.5%的美国跨性别者报告称一生中曾经历过这种做法。调查结果表明，这种做法在截至 2010 年至 2015 年期间仍在美国的每个州持续存在。
