完整标题：人道主义压力：从中东和北非（MENA）的跨性别移民的优先事项和自我认同过程的关键检查导航西欧庇护和移民的做法和discourses.Overview：估计表明，数以万计的LGBTQ+移民从中东和北非（MENA）已在欧洲定居，与研究强调在欧洲国家的种族主义和仇外心理的经验。然而，这些研究-侧重于男同性恋者-未能代表种族化的跨性别移民，他们构成了欧洲LGBTQ和移民社区中最受社会经济排斥的部分。在仇外心理、伊斯兰恐惧症和跨性别恐惧症的交叉点上，来自中东和北非的跨性别移民在西欧国家的庇护程序和话语中面临着特殊的--而且在很大程度上被忽视的--挑战。因此，这项研究问：-生活在西欧的中东和北非变性移民的需求和优先事项是什么？如何通过西欧媒体的论述以及国家、政府和非政府组织的政策和做法来解决这些问题？- 这些做法和话语中围绕性别认同的紧张关系如何影响来自中东和北非的跨性别移民的自我认同？背景：学者认为，种族化的酷儿移民在西方东道国面临交叉的同性恋恐惧症，种族主义和仇外心理，必须同化西方的性别和性规范，以获得庇护和社会接受。由于庇护程序需要迫害的证据，种族化的同性恋移民被迫妖魔化他们的祖国。因此，这些移民据说被利用来掩盖西方反LGBTQ歧视的历史;维护限制性的西方酷儿模式;并在Puar（2005）的话语中将伊斯兰恐惧症和种族主义合法化。然而，在种族化的跨性别移民中，人类民族主义还没有得到充分的研究，这是本项目所解决的一个空白。我将分析西欧内部围绕性别认同的人类民族主义紧张关系如何影响跨性别移民的自我认同，例如影响性别转变，姓名选择，服装等。本研究将探讨跨性别移民如何被迫向白色，西方，和以欧洲为中心的性别观念我的研究挑战了目前对西方酷儿解放的理解，承认欧洲堡垒内性别和酷儿的种族化政治“对实际身体起作用，能够产生[...]生与死”（斯特赖克，2013年）。

Full title: Homonationalist pressures: A critical examination of the priorities and self-identification processes of transgender migrants from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) navigating Western European asylum and migration practices and discourses.Overview: Estimates suggest tens of thousands of LGBTQ+ migrants from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have resettled in Europe, with research highlighting experiences of racism and xenophobia in European nations. However, these studies - focused on gay men - fail to represent racialised transgender migrants who constitute the most socio-economically excluded subsection of Europe's LGBTQ and migrant communities. At the intersection of xenophobia, Islamophobia, and transphobia, transgender migrants from MENA face particular - and largely ignored - challenges when navigating asylum processes and discourses in Western European countries. Thus, this research asks:- What are the needs and priorities of transgender migrants from MENA living in Western Europe?- How are these addressed through Western European media discourses, as well as state, government and NGO policies and practices? - How do tensions around gender identity within these practices and discourses inform the self-identification of transgender migrants from MENA?Context:Scholars argue that racialised queer migrants face intersecting homophobia, racism, and xenophobia in Western host countries and must assimilate to Western gender and sexual norms to receive asylum and social acceptance. As asylum processes necessitate evidence of persecution, racialised queer migrants are compelled to demonise their home countries. Thus, these migrants are said to be exploited to obscure Western histories of anti-LGBTQ discrimination; to uphold restrictive Western models of queerness; and to legitimate Islamophobia and racism, within a discourse Puar (2005) terms 'homonationalism'. However, homonationalism has not been sufficiently investigated among racialised transgender migrants, a gap this project addresses.I will analyse how homonationalist tensions around gender identity within Western Europe inform transgender migrants' self-identification, such as influencing gender transition, choice of name, clothing, etc. This research would explore how transgender migrants may feel compelled to transition towards white, Western, and Eurocentric gender ideals. My research challenges current understandings of Western queer liberation, acknowledging that the racialised politics of gender and queerness within Fortress Europe "operate on actual bodies, capable of producing [...] life and death" (Stryker, 2013).
