本研究采用叙事分析的方法，利用调查数据，探讨跨性别者及其重要他人所面临的社会、心理和经济挑战。这项研究有300多名参与者，不仅验证了以前围绕变性经历的小规模研究的结果，而且为我们目前的理解增加了更大的背景，特别是因为它包含了重要的其他人。调查结果包括参与者报告的社会耻辱加上心理痛苦和经济困难。作者讨论了这三个变量的交叉性，以及对理解变性人及其伴侣的经历可能产生的影响。
Using narrative analysis, this study uses survey data to explore the social, psychological and economic challenges faced by transgender individuals and their significant others. With over 300 participants, this study not only validates the findings of previous yet smaller scale studies surrounding the transgender experience, it adds greater context to our current understanding, specifically because of its inclusion of significant others. Findings include participants' reports of social stigma coupled with psychological pain and economic hardship. The authors discuss the intersectionality of these three variables and the possible implications for understanding the transgender experience and that of their partners.
