TL;DR: Dessa forma, torna-se fundamental assegurar o acesso aos recursos necessarios para a realizacao das modificacoes corporais ao longo do percurso de transicao por meio of uma atencao integral a saude das pessoas travestis e transexuais no Sistema Unico de Saude.
Abstract: O objetivo deste trabalho foi estimar a prevalencia do uso de silicone liquido industrial (SLI) entre pessoas travestis e mulheres transexuais e identificar os fatores relacionados a esta pratica. Trata-se de estudo transversal realizado em sete municipios do Estado de Sao Paulo, Brasil, com dados coletados entre 2014 e 2015, em uma amostra de 576 pessoas. Na analise dos fatores associados, utilizamos o modelo de Poisson com variância robusta para estimar as razoes de prevalencias bruta e ajustada. A prevalencia do uso de SLI foi de 49%, a media de idade para a primeira colocacao de SLI foi de 22 (± 5,3) anos e aproximadamente 43% informaram a ocorrencia de problemas de saude decorrente do uso. No modelo multiplo ter escolaridade menor que o nivel superior, estar em faixa etaria a partir dos 20 anos, identificar-se como travesti e exercer a prostituicao foram associados positivamente com a utilizacao de SLI. Houve uma elevada prevalencia do uso de SLI e de problemas decorrentes desta pratica, indicando um desafio acerca da prevencao do uso e da reducao dos danos a saude provocados pelo SLI. Dessa forma, torna-se fundamental assegurar o acesso aos recursos necessarios para a realizacao das modificacoes corporais ao longo do percurso de transicao por meio de uma atencao integral a saude das pessoas travestis e transexuais no Sistema Unico de Saude. Finalmente, incluir nas politicas de saude as demandas por modificacoes corporais como parte da construcao da identidade de genero, respeitando as necessidades singulares de cada pessoa neste processo de transicao.

TL;DR: Doctors, mental health, and social service providers should address depression, substance abuse, and forced sex in an attempt to reduce suicidal behaviors among transgender persons.
Abstract: To determine the independent predictors of attempted suicide among transgender persons we interviewed 392 male-to-female (MTF) and 123 female-to-male (FTM) individuals. Participants were recruited through targeted sampling, respondent-driven sampling, and agency referrals in San Francisco. The prevalence of attempted suicide was 32% (95% CI = 28% to 36%). In multivariate logistic regression analysis younger age (<25 years), depression, a history of substance abuse treatment, a history of forced sex, gender-based discrimination, and gender-based victimization were independently associated with attempted suicide. Suicide prevention interventions for transgender persons are urgently needed, particularly for young people. Medical, mental health, and social service providers should address depression, substance abuse, and forced sex in an attempt to reduce suicidal behaviors among transgender persons. In addition, increasing societal acceptance of the transgender community and decreasing gender-based ...

TL;DR: Investigation found that experiencing economic discrimination because one is transgendered had the strongest association with experiencing a transgender related violent incident, and economic discrimination was related totransgendered people's experience with violence.
Abstract: There is a pervasive pattern of discrimination and prejudice against transgendered people within society. Both economic discrimination and experiencing violence could be the result of a larger social climate that severely sanctions people for not conforming to society's norms concerning gender; as such, both would be strongly associated with each other. Questionnaires were distributed to people either through events or through volunteers, and made available upon the World Wide Web. A sample of 402 cases was collected over the span of 12 months (April 1996-April 1997). We found that over half the people within this sample experienced some form of harassment or violence within their lifetime, with a quarter experiencing a violent incident. Further investigation found that experiencing economic discrimination because one is transgendered had the strongest association with experiencing a transgender related violent incident. Economic discrimination was related to transgendered people's experience wit...

TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of using Internet research to capture the demographic characteristics of a largely closeted sexual minority and to report such characteristics in the first national study of transgender persons ever attempted in the United States was investigated.
Abstract: As part of a larger study, we investigated the feasibility of using Internet research to capture the demographic characteristics of a largely closeted sexual minority and to report such characteristics in the first national study of transgender persons ever attempted in the United States. To achieve a nonclinical national sample, online convenience sampling was used. Of 1,373 surveys received, 1,229 (90%) were deemed complete and from unique individuals self-identifying as transgender, 18 years or older, and U.S. residents. Participation approximated that predicted by the U.S. Census (2000). Comparison with census data identified the sample as younger, White (non-Hispanic), single, more educated but with less household income, living in smaller towns to medium-sized cities, and less affiliated with traditional Christian denominations. Demographic characteristics differed significantly by both gender and transgender status. The challenge of achieving demographically representative sampling online, as well as implications for future research and policy, are discussed.

Abstract: Trans youth are considered one of the most marginalized and oppressed populations. Many experience transphobia and violence based on their gender identity and expression. This qualitative study describes the school experiences of 24 trans youth in Philadelphia and presents their recommendations for school administrators and educators.
