As with public opinion on other policy issues, attitudes toward transgender rights are partly driven by "group-centric" reasoning. Those with more positive feelings toward transgender people are more likely to support policies that protect their rights. But linking group affect with policies impacting members of that group requires some knowledge and understanding of politics, which not all citizens possess to the same extent. In this research note, we demonstrate that political awareness moderates the relationship between affect toward transgender people and support for their civil rights. ANES data from 2016 and 2020 show that more politically sophisticated respondents were more likely to connect their views of transgender people with policies that protect their rights. These results suggest that group-centric thinking is most prevalent among the most, not least, politically aware.

The aim of this dissertation was to examine the language used to discuss transgender people on university campuses. The primary data for this study consisted of 16 reports issued at four Big Ten schools from 1992-2010. These reports address the inclusion of gender identity and expression in nondiscrimination policies, the status of transgender people on university campuses, or both. This study employed policy discourse analysis, a hybrid methodology that analyzes written documents using feminist, critical, and post structural theories in order to identify the subject positions generated through policy discourse. These reports should be viewed in the context of primary sources that illustrate a long history of LGBTQ civil rights battles. This dissertation examines how these reports framed discussions about transgender people, and what this in turn tells us about the reality produced by the reports. ; Western Michigan University, ScholarWorks at WMU

This article explores two cases at the intersection of emerging studies of transgender experience: heterosexualities and asexualities. Drawing on data from a mixed-methodological survey, we analyze the ways 57 asexual transgender people and 42 heterosexual transgender people occupying varied gender, race, class, age, and religious identities (1) make sense of gender and (2) experience coming out as transgender. Our analyses reveal some ways cisnormativity impacts transgender people across sexual identities, and the theoretical potential of incorporating transgender people into studies focused on asexualities and heterosexualities. In conclusion, we outline implications for understanding (1) transgender experiences with cisnormativity across sexual and other social locations and (2) possibilities for expanding studies of heterosexualities and asexualities beyond cisgender experiences.

About 1.2 million people in the U.S. have HIV, and in 2021 about 32,000 were newly infected. These numbers should be lower. Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) medication prevents HIV transmission and has been available since 2012. Yet, more than a decade later and despite Affordable Care Act (ACA)-mandated coverage for it, access to PrEP is inequitable, […]

A nursing perspective following McIntyre and McDonald's framework was used to unpack the complex issue of challenges faced by transgender people in the Canadian healthcare system, considering historical, ethical, legal, social, cultural, political, and economic perspectives. Transgender people have unique healthcare needs which are often misunderstood or unaddressed by healthcare professionals, leading to poorer outcomes and inequities. Issues concerning transgender people are becoming a focus and a higher priority for society. This literature review reveals the complexity of this issue as the roots in historical, ethical, legal, social, cultural, political, and economic contexts are explored. A variety of barriers and facilitators exist to addressing and resolving this issue, including transgender people avoiding healthcare, intolerance, lack of knowledge and understanding, lack of healthcare provider training, media representation, and economic costs. The analysis of this issue can be used to inform resolution strategies to utilize facilitators and overcome barriers, including increasing awareness and knowledge, improving education and healthcare provider competency, and utilizing nurse leaders as advocates, role models, and agents of change. Improving care of transgender people is a nursing leadership priority. By implementing the suggested resolution strategies, the healthcare system can begin to move towards a more inclusive, understanding, and holistic model of care to improve healthcare access and outcomes for transgender people. ; Une perspective infirmière s'inspirant du cadre de McIntyre et McDonald a été utilisée pour mettre au jour le problème complexe des défis auxquels sont confrontés les transgenres dans le système de santé canadien, compte tenu des perspectives historiques, éthiques, juridiques, sociales, culturelles, politiques et économiques. Les personnes transgenres ont des besoins de soins de santé uniques qui sont souvent mal compris ou ignorés par les professionnels de la santé, ce qui entraîne des résultats et des iniquités plus faibles. Les questions concernant les personnes transgenres deviennent une priorité et une priorité pour la société. Cette revue de la littérature révèle la complexité de cette question à mesure que les racines des contextes historiques, éthiques, juridiques, sociaux, culturels, politiques et économiques sont explorées. Divers obstacles et facilitateurs existent pour traiter et résoudre ce problème, notamment les personnes transgenres évitant les soins de santé, l'intolérance, le manque de connaissances et de compréhension, le manque de formation des prestataires de soins, la représentation des médias et les coûts économiques. L'analyse de cette question peut être utilisée pour éclairer les stratégies de résolution et utiliser les facilitateurs et les agents de changement. L'amélioration des soins aux personnes transgenres est une priorité du leadership infirmier. En mettant en œuvre les stratégies de résolution proposées, le système de santé peut commencer à évoluer vers un modèle de soins plus inclusif, compréhensif et holistique pour améliorer l'accès aux soins et les résultats pour les personnes transgenres.
