“…Most of the time, MNF received affection and validation of emotion from their female peers, which gradually developed into an intimate relationship, which was also highlighted in Juaini and Azman's study. 24 Emotional validation by peers showed the highest effect size among the subthemes, which reflected that it was the most frequent subtheme mentioned in the included studies. Female peers or partners typically provide financial and emotional support as well as identity affirmation and a sense of belonging in the minority group.…”

“…This finding is consistent with other studies showing that poor familial upbringing eventually leads to SGM. [24][25][26] The third subtheme, which was receiving greater affection from same-sex partners, further strengthened the SGM identity. This can be explained by better understanding, greater affection, and greater responsibility of same-sex partners in a relationship compared to a heterosexual partner.…”

Malay-Muslim identity is the regular norm among Malays in Malaysia; however, this identity has been challenged with the emergence of sexual-and-gender minority (SGM). Even though Malay cultural values and Islamic teachings prohibit same-sex orientation and cross-gender, a SGM group has evolved among Malay-Muslim natal females. This meta-synthesis was conducted to explore the psychosocial factors involved in the construction of SGM and its consequences among Malay natal females in Malaysia using the Sandelowski-Barroso approach. A systematic search of articles was done in the selected databases by using identified keywords between October to December 2020. Twelve full articles were included after proper screening and in-depth reviews. The quality of these articles was assessed independently by two researchers. The articles were then analysed using ATLAS.ti 8 software to group the data into subthemes and themes. Lastly, the effect sizes of each subtheme were calculated. Three main themes were identified: affection seeking, hurtful experience and nurturing influences. Malay natal females also shared consequences following construction of SGM identity which include acceptance from community, continuous conflicts in life and mental health consequences. This meta-synthesis revealed the influences that shape the construction of Malay SGM women. Thus, interventions shall be planned to aid them according to cultural and psychosocial factors.

Understanding the sexual identity development of the sexual and gender minority among Malay women (SGMMW) is necessary for providing them with appropriate services. However, owing to a paucity of studies on this subject, the present study thus explores the sexual identity development of SGMMW. A phenomenology study was performed on 30 SGMMW. In-depth, semi-guided virtual interviews were conducted, each lasting 45–90 min. Recordings of the interviews were transcribed verbatim. Subsequently, all transcriptions were added to ATLAS.ti 8 for analysis and coding. Three themes were elucidated from the study: awareness of incongruence, exploration of self-identity, and consolidation in the L Community. These three themes represent three phases of the sexual identity development of SGMMW. In Phase 1, SGMMW becomes aware of their sexual orientation toward females. In Phase 2, SGMMW explored information, community, and partners that could affirm their identities. In Phase 3, SGMMW consolidated itself into a new community that aligned with its new identity, also known as the L Community. Sexual identity development is influenced by environmental factors such as family, friends, institutions, and social media; personal factors such as a belief that men are bad; and behavioral factors such as behaving like a man to protect the self and others. In conclusion, SGMMW identity development involves three phases and is influenced by environmental, personal, and behavioral factors.
