女同性恋者、男同性恋者、双性恋者、变性者和同性恋者(LGBTQ)的性受害流行率经常被发现高于他们的异性恋同龄人报告的流行率。变性人往往只是作为更大的LGBTQ研究样本的一部分，可能会混淆性取向和性别认同之间的差异。在这项研究中，作者在LGBTQ成年人(N=1,124)的便利样本中按受访者的性别认同(顺性别，变性人)检验性侵犯/强奸，以确定在终生性侵犯/强奸患病率和随后的警方报告方面是否存在差异。调查结果表明，跨性别者报告经历过性侵/强奸的频率是顺性别LGBQ个人的两倍以上。作者发现，在向警方报案性暴力方面没有统计上的显著差异。对研究和实践的意义进行了讨论。
Prevalence of sexual victimization among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) persons is frequently found to be higher than the prevalence reported by their heterosexual peers. Transgender individuals are often included solely as part of larger LGBTQ research samples, potentially obfuscating differences between sexual orientation and gender identity. In this study, the authors examined sexual assault/rape in a large convenience sample of LGBTQ adults (N = 1,124) by respondents' gender identity (cisgender, transgender) to determine whether differences exist in lifetime prevalence of sexual assault/rape and subsequent police reporting. Findings indicate transgender individuals report having experienced sexual assault/rape more than twice as frequently as cisgender LGBQ individuals. Authors found no statistically significant difference in reporting sexual violence to police. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
