Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Transgender and Gender Diverse Health Care: The Fenway Guide AB - Although there is a dearth of research on transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people and intimate partner violence (IPV), current research suggests rates much higher than those of straight, cisgender women, with 30%–50% of TGD people experiencing IPV compared to 28%–33% in the general population.1 IPV is also known as domestic violence, dating violence, or partner abuse. The Network/La Red, an organization at the forefront of work with LGBTQIA+ survivors, defines partner abuse as “a systematic pattern of behaviors where one person tries to control the thoughts, beliefs, and/or actions of their partner.2” Included in their definition is the recognition that aside from partners, the abusive person can be “someone they are dating or someone they had an intimate relationship with.3” The Network/La Red suggests using the term “survivor” for a person who is experiencing or has experienced abuse from their partner explaining, “for many who have experienced abuse, “survivor” can be much more empowering than “victim.2” Additionally, the words “victim” and “perpetrator” are inaccurate and sometimes dangerous to use as they are legal terms that refer to “single incidences of criminal behavior” rather than a pattern of power and control.2 SN - PB - McGraw Hill CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1184176811 ER -
