Session: Southern Exposure: Navigating Violence and Building Better Lives for Trans and Gender Diverse Latinx Individuals and Migrant Communities

Experiences With Violence and Service Utilization Among Latinx Trans and Gender Diverse Southerners

Saturday, October 26, 2024
3:00 PM – 3:30 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Room 3501A
We explored the experiences of Southern U.S. trans and gender diverse Latinx individuals with transprejudice and anti-trans violence individually, interpersonally, and structurally. Using 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey data and the Socioecological Model of Anti-Trans Stigma, we found high rates of anti-trans violence and transprejudice, including by health care providers.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe the rates of anti-trans violence and transprejudice experienced by transgender and gender diverse Latinx Southerners.
  2. List the health care, legal, and domestic violence shelter services used by transgender and gender diverse Latinx Southerners and the relationship of these services to the types of violence they experienced.
  3. Identify the experiences of transgender and gender diverse Latinx Southerners when seeking health care, legal, and domestic violence shelter services, and what predicts negative service experiences.
