本研究探讨了儿童期性别不一致性和性受害之间的关系，在成年男女同性恋，男同性恋和双性恋（LGB）同性吸引的男性和女性是介导的经验与童年创伤的经验，由成年家庭成员。数据基于一项对同性吸引的个人（N = 2，352; 1，396名男性和956名女性; M年龄= 44.97）的调查，该调查是从一个在线研究小组招募的。参与者完成了一份由现有量表组成的在线问卷。16%的参与者报告说，他们在成年后经历过性受害。存在性别差异：男性报告较少的童年性别不一致和妇女更经常报告的经验，童年创伤的成年家庭成员和性受害的成年人。引导调解分析和后续调解分析表明，童年创伤显着介导的童年性别不一致性和性受害的经验，男性，但不为女性之间的关系。换句话说，对于男性来说，更高水平的童年性别不一致性预测了成年家庭成员的童年创伤经历，这反过来又预测了更高的性受害率。这些研究结果的实施是，旨在提高社会对性别不一致的接受程度的干预措施也可能降低同性恋和双性恋男性的童年创伤和性受害的水平。从事儿童工作的专业人员（尤其是从事男孩工作的专业人员）应了解性别不一致对儿童期创伤和日后遭受性侵害的影响。
The present study examined whether the relationship between childhood gender nonconformity and sexual victimization in adulthood among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) same-sex attracted men and women is mediated by experiences with childhood trauma experiences by an adult family member. Data are based on a survey among same-sex attracted individuals (N = 2,352; 1,396 men and 956 women; M-age= 44.97) recruited from an online research panel. Participants completed an online questionnaire consisting of existing scales. Sixteen percent of the participants reported that they had experienced sexual victimization as an adult. There were gender differences: Men reported less childhood gender nonconformity and women more often reported experiences with childhood trauma by an adult family member and sexual victimization as an adult. Bootstrapped mediation analysis and follow-up moderated mediation analyses showed that childhood trauma significantly mediated the relation between childhood gender nonconformity and experiences of sexual victimization for men but not for women. In other words, for men higher levels of childhood gender nonconformity predicted experiences with childhood trauma by an adult family member, which in turn predicted the higher prevalence of sexual victimization. Implementations of these findings are that interventions aimed at increasing the social acceptance of gender nonconformity might also lower the levels of childhood trauma and sexual victimization among gay and bisexual men. Professionals working with children (and especially with boys) should be aware of the impact of gender nonconformity on childhood trauma and experiences of sexual victimization later in life.
