To identify rates of victimization experiences by gender identity and sexual orientation in a large regional sample of 14-to-17-year old high school students.
All 10 grade students from 27 Northeastern high schools were invited to participate in a survey of dating and sexual experiences (N = 2,766).
Compared with heterosexual youth, sexual minority youth reported greater peer victimization of every kind (i.e., bullying, sexual harassment, unwanted sexual contact and intercourse, and every type of dating conflict [threatening behavior, physical abuse, and sexual abuse]). Sexual minority girls evinced particularly high levels of bullying. Similarly, transgender youth were more likely than nontransgender youth to experience every form of peer victimization except physical abuse in a dating relationship. Cumulatively, 91% of sexual minority girls, 86% of transgender youth, and 79% of sexual minority boys experienced at least one form of peer victimization, compared to 78% of heterosexual girls and 63% of heterosexual boys. Further, 14% of transgender youth experienced all 4 victimization types in the past year alone. Finally, bias-based harassment was rarely the only form of victimization experienced by these youth.
The victimization of sexual minority youth, particularly girls, and transgender youth was pervasive across individual forms of victimization and multiple forms of victimization concurrently. Further, bias-based harassment was imbedded within a pattern of victimization, such that youth experienced it in concert with multiple other forms of victimization. Researchers implementing prevention-based programs for interpersonal violence should examine the experiences of and impact on youth of diverse gender and sexual identities.
在一个由14至17岁高中生组成的大型区域样本中，确定按性别认同和性取向划分的受害经历发生率。
邀请了来自27所东北部高中的所有10年级学生参与一项关于约会和性经历的调查（N = 2766）。
与异性恋青年相比，性少数群体青年报告称遭受了更多种类的同伴侵害（即欺凌、性骚扰、 unwanted性接触和性交，以及每种约会冲突形式[威胁行为、身体虐待和性虐待]）。性少数群体女孩遭受欺凌的程度尤其高。同样，与非跨性别青年相比，跨性别青年在约会关系中除身体虐待外，更有可能经历各种形式的同伴侵害。累积来看，91%的性少数群体女孩、86%的跨性别青年和79%的性少数群体男孩至少经历过一种形式的同伴侵害，相比之下，异性恋女孩为78%，异性恋男孩为63%。此外，仅在过去一年中，就有14%的跨性别青年经历了所有4种受害类型。最后，基于偏见的骚扰很少是这些青年遭受的唯一受害形式。
性少数群体青年，尤其是女孩和跨性别青年，在各种单独形式的受害以及多种形式的受害中都普遍存在受害情况。此外，基于偏见的骚扰嵌入在一种受害模式中，以至于青年会同时经历这种骚扰和多种其他形式的受害。实施基于预防的人际暴力项目的研究人员应审视不同性别和性取向青年的经历及影响。
