  Introduction Considering recent waves of transphobia, it is crucial to comprehensively research transgender people’s experiences with discrimination and violence. This study investigates the extent of discrimination and violence experienced by trans people and cisgender lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people in Europe. We explore how these experiences vary across countries, how they are affected by a person’s disability and ethnic minority background, and whether experiences vary between trans women, trans men, and nonbinary people. Method Using the 2020 EU LGBTI Survey II, we conducted multilevel analyses across 30 European countries on experiences of discrimination and violence among trans people and cisgender LGB people (N = 138,212). The 2019 Rainbow Europe Country Ranking was included as a country-level predictor. Results Our findings demonstrated that trans people reported consistently more discrimination and violence than cisgender LGB people throughout Europe, irrespective of the countries’ rankings of LGBTQ+ rights. This difference was more pronounced among participants with ethnic minority backgrounds and disabilities. Results also varied across genders as trans women and nonbinary people reported more violence than trans men, whereas trans men and trans women both reported more discrimination than nonbinary people. Conclusions This study provides compelling evidence of disproportionately negative experiences of trans people in Europe. The findings underscore the need for policy interventions and future studies addressing discrimination and violence faced by trans people.

  Abstract Bisexual individuals face identity denial and erasure and qualitative analyses suggest that it may be gendered, such that people stereotype bisexual women as truly heterosexual and bisexual men as truly gay. Across three studies (total N  = 787), we examined perceptions of bisexual targets’ attraction patterns. Participants rated the attraction of either a female or male bisexual target to both the same gender/sex and opposite gender/sex. An internal meta‐analysis revealed that heterosexual, lesbian, and gay participants all perceived bisexual men as more attracted to men than to women. No such pattern emerged for bisexual women. These differences between the perception of bisexual women and bisexual men were also reflected in the endorsement of an explicit measure of bisexual erasure. Our findings add to the understanding of the unique bias bisexual people face by showing that perceived attraction patterns may underlie the labelling of bisexual men as “actually gay”.

  Jacob Evje won the "verdt å vite" award for his Masters that compared the experience of transpeople with cisgender LGB people in Europe. In this episode you meet him and his supervisor Sam Fluit. We talk about the findings, but also about how it is to do research on queer topics this days. And Luca are sorry about all the swearing he commits in this episode :) More about the price: https://www.sv.uio.no/om/aktuelt/vag-a-vite/intervjuer/2023/vag-a-vite-diskriminering-vold-mot-transpersoner-psi.html

  Mange skeive opplever å bli oversett, misforstått eller å måtte lære opp sin egen behandler når de oppsøker psykisk helsevern. Det framgår av to nye rapporter, som beskriver stor kunnskapsmangel.

  Selv om bifile utgjør den største gruppen blant skeive, blir de ofte oversett, fornektet eller misforstått – både i den skeive bevegelsen, i historien, akademia og media. I sin mest ekstreme form innebærer dette det som kalles bi erasure, eller bifil usynlighet: en påstand om at biseksualitet ikke eksisterer, og at personer som identifiserer seg som bifile egentlig er enten heterofile eller homofile. Slike forestillinger gir grobunn for stereotype oppfatninger, som at bifile er forvirret, i fornektelse eller – som med bifile menn – egentlig er homofile som “bare” trenger tid til å “bestemme seg”. Dette fenomenet henger tett sammen med bifobi. Selv om holdningene ikke alltid manifesteres på en uttalt eller uttrykkes på en aggressiv måte, bidrar de til usynliggjøring og til store utfordringer for bifile, som ofte opplever å bli marginalisert både i samfunnet og i LGBTQ+-miljøet.
