“…Our findings support clinical care recommendations that caution reducing client’s identities to SOGIE only, and to consider multiple factors shaping their mental health (Alessi et al, 2021; Veale et al, 2015). While many countries have adopted human rights and humanitarian laws protecting LGBTQI+ migrants, the experience of compounded trauma and stress exists based on multiple forms of stigma such as homophobia, transphobia, across migratory experiences (Alessi et al, 2020, 2021; FoxGriffin et al, 2020; James et al, 2018; Lee et al, 2022).…”

“…For LGBTQI+ migrants, mental health concerns are exacerbated by structural stressors which include healthcare access and quality of care (Alessi, et al, 2021). Mental health is more than the absence of disease and includes intersecting determinants of health such as stigma and other intersecting social dimensions of health (James et al, 2018; Salam et al, 2022; Salami et al, 2019). Growing evidence suggests that stigma is a significant source of stress and social disadvantage and a significant driver of morbidity and mortality (Hatzenbuehler et al, 2013).…”

“…Stress may result in anxiety, depression and suicidality for many LGBTQI+ people (Meyer, 2003). LGBTQI+ migrants may experience multiple forms of stigma and discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression (SOGIE), including factors such as culture, racism, and trauma (Gamble et al, 2015; James et al, 2018; Salam et al, 2022). Furthermore, LGBTQI+ migrants experience social, cultural stigma and discriminations pre and post migration.…”

“…However, many LGBTQI+ migrants have precarious status in Canada and must claim their identity as refugee claimants, protected persons, and undocumented individuals before the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) (Lee, 2021). This process of disclosure can be retraumatizing and trigger unwanted traumatic memories (James et al, 2018; Kahn et al, 2018; Lee, 2021; Navarro et al, 2021). Moreover, LGBTQI+ people, may feel increased stigma and shame due to lack of understanding in their countries of birth (Mulé et al, 2016).…”

“…Moreover, LGBTQI+ people, may feel increased stigma and shame due to lack of understanding in their countries of birth (Mulé et al, 2016). Disclosure of SOGIE during the IRB process may also elicit fears related to deportation (James et al, 2018; Logie, Lys, et al, 2019; Munro et al, 2013). These experiences are particularly challenging for migrants who also identify as trans and nonbinary people (Alessi et al, 2021; Cerezo et al, 2014; Lee et al, 2022; Sansfaçon et al, 2018).…”

Migrants, that is people who experience forced displacement or move based on being lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, two-spirit, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI+), experience increased trauma and stigma when compared to heterosexual and cisgender people. The aim of this paper is to highlight LGBTQI+ migrants’ experiences of health and social care encounters in Canada. Gadamerian hermeneutics and an intersectionality lens was used to understand LGBTQI+ migrants’ experiences. A total of 16 semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with LGBTQI+ migrants. Themes of stigma and discrimination were identified as (1) “I never went back”: Stigma as an exclusionary experience, (2) “Is [your country of birth] really that bad”: Fear, safety, and cultural stigma, and (3) “The circle … is not going to fix my life”: LGBTQI+ migrants’ call for affirming care. Results suggest that health and social care practices are stigmatizing and discriminatory which negatively impacts LGBTQI+ migrant mental health. Salient practices for promoting mental health included affirming LGBTQI+ identities and orientations through health and social care practices that are culturally safe as well as trauma and violence informed.

The Structure and Operation of the Transgender Criminal Legal System Nexus in the United States: Inequalities, Administrative Violence, and Injustice at Every Turn

A growing body of research reveals that transgender people are disproportionately in contact with the criminal legal system, wherein they experience considerable discrimination, violence, and other harms. To better understand transgender people's involvement in this system, this article synthesizes research from criminology, transgender studies, and related fields as well as empirical findings produced outside of academe, to conceptualize a “transgender criminal legal system nexus.” This article examines historical and contemporary criminalization of transgender people; differential system contact and attendant experiences associated with police contact, judicial decision-making, and incarceration; and pathways to system involvement for transgender people. The analytic focus is on cultural logics related to institutionalized conceptualizations of gender, discriminatory people-processing in various domains of the criminal legal system, and institutionally produced disparities for transgender people involved in the criminal legal system, especially transgender women of color. The article concludes with a discussion of directions for future research, including a focus on administrative violence, organizational sorting, intersectionality, and measurement challenges. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Criminology, Volume 7 is January 2024. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

In this article, I review the literature on trans people’s experiences with the criminal legal system using an intersectional lens to highlight how their multiple marginalized identities shape their treatment by criminal legal actors. The literature suggests that the intersectional contexts of trans people’s experiences must be considered and recognized when seeking to understand and apply this knowledge to improve interactions with the legal system, either in terms of victimization or system-involvement. An intersectional approach may not explain the full extent of trans people’s experiences. Still, it provides a glimpse into the multiplicative effects overlapping forms of oppression have on trans people’s daily lives and, subsequently, their system involvement.
