Regimes of truth regarding 'sexual justice' in academic literature from 2012 to 2022: a scoping review.

The notion of 'sexual justice' has gained traction in academic and policy arenas in recent years. This paper presents a scoping literature review of the regimes of truth, following Foucault, of 'sexual justice' appearing in the scientific literature from 2012 to 2022. Thirty-eight papers were coded using (1) content analysis of the studies' central problematics, the programmes referred to, and institutional location(s); and (2) thematic analysis of how the notion was deployed. Central problematics centred on (1) critiques of, or alternatives to, dominant approaches to sexual and reproductive health; and (2) highlighting injustices. As such, 'sexual justice' is fighting for legitimacy in the truth stakes. There is a distinct paucity of papers tackling the translation of 'sexual justice' into practice. South Africa dominates as the site in which papers on 'sexual justice' have been produced, but there is a lack of South-South collaboration. Two themes were apparent around which conceptions of sexual justice cohere. Firstly, sexual justice is seen as a vital, yet politically ambivalent goal, with neoliberal co-optation of progressive rights agendas being warned against. Secondly, sexual justice is viewed as a means, in which sexual justice is described as having potential to repair established frameworks' shortcomings and oppressive legacies.

Systemic Barriers to Fertility Preservation for Sexually and Gender Diverse Populations.

Fertility preservation is the process of collecting and storing oocytes, sperm, or reproductive tissue so that a person may retain their ability to have biologically related children. In instances of infertility caused by medical intervention or an underlying medical condition, this procedure is often sought by affected patient populations. U.S. Title 21 regulations have produced disparities in access, disproportionately restricting services for sexually and gender diverse subpopulations capable of producing sperm. This article examines policies contributing to these disparities, explores how these policies may translate to real-world health care delivery, and proposes policy changes that would increase equitable access to care.

Gender Sexuality Alliances and School Safety: Who Benefits Most, and Do Additive School-Led Practices Strengthen the Link?

While Gender and Sexuality Alliances (GSAs) are associated with higher acceptance of sexual diversity and lower bullying-victimization, it is unclear which individual and school-level attributes strengthen these associations. Nationally representative data (N = 1,567 students; Mage = 15.4, SD = 0.16; 34% boys, 66% girls, 51% heterosexual, 49% sexually-diverse after propensity score matching) in 139 Dutch secondary schools were used. Multilevel regression analyses revealed that GSA presence was linked to more inclusive attitudes about sexual diversity and a safer disclosure climate among sexually-diverse students, and lower general bullying-victimization when the school had a GSA combined with school practices to tackle bullying. School professionals and researchers are recommended to recognize the significance of individual and school-level factors that affect GSA correlates.

The Invisible Minority: Stigma and Sexual and Gender Diversity in Health Care.

This analysis elucidates the concept of stigma in the sexual and gender diverse population, and how it impacts interactions with the health-care system. Significant research into social determinants of health has given rise to a greater understanding of their impact on health-care accessibility and utilization. The impact of stigma experienced by persons with diverse gender identities and sexual orientations has not been similarly studied. Utilizing Walker and Avant's method of concept analysis and the Minority Stress Model, this article explicates stigma in an inclusive manner that directly addresses health care. Records retrieved from PubMed, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and PsychINFO were screened for inclusion, supplemented by editorials and seminal earlier works. Review of the literature clarified the power imbalance perpetuating stigma, its defining attributes, antecedents, and consequences. Although the preponderance of consequences are negative outcomes, positive interactions with providers can empower sexual and gender diverse individuals to disclose their identity more willingly, navigate the health system effectively, and experience greater well-being. Nurses can combat stigma by acknowledging and respecting diverse identities; creating trusting, co-equal relationships; and advocating for sexual and gender diverse persons at both practice and policy levels.

Effects of identity disclosure on school victimization and long-term educational outcomes among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex students in China.

This study examined identity disclosure among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) students in China and investigated the effects of coming out on school victimization as well as current academic performance and long-term educational outcomes. The study drew on a national sample of 9260 Chinese LGBTI students (age range = 12-42 years) and 9668 LGBTI individuals who were not in education (age range = 14-85 years). The results showed that LGBTI students were more likely to come out to their fellow students (61.4%) than to their teachers (42.4%). Approximately 40.2% of LGBTI students reported having encountered victimization in school, and they also were more likely to report school dropout and lower levels of educational attainment than those who did not experience school victimization. Transgender and gender nonconforming students and intersex students were particularly vulnerable to the experiences and adverse effects of school victimization. In addition, the findings indicated that although students who came out in school were more likely to experience school victimization, identity disclosure was related to better long-term educational outcomes. This study is one of the first to document the identity disclosure, victimization experiences, and school outcomes of LGBTI students in China. The results show that identity concealment may bring short-term benefits by protecting LGBTI students from school victimization but may be harmful to them in the longer run. To foster a supportive climate and a safe school environment, it is important to enact sexual and gender diversity education, inclusive school policies, and teacher training programs at different levels of schooling.

Evaluating Healthcare Professionals' Knowledge, Attitudes, Practices and Education Interest in LGBTQ2 + Cancer Care.

The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning and two-spirited, plus (LGBTQ2 +) community experiences cancer-related health disparities and inequities. Our objective was to assess LGBTQ2 + knowledge, attitudes, practices and education interest of healthcare professionals (HCPs), identify opportunities to improve care and inform the development of an HCP education curriculum. This was a mixed methods quality improvement study conducted within a tertiary academic cancer centre. An email was sent to all gynaecologic oncology disease site staff (n = 92) with a secure link to an online survey. We measured respondents' sociodemographic characteristics and LGBTQ2 + knowledge, attitudes, practice behaviours and education interest. Open comments explored HCP experiences and reservations caring for LGBTQ2 + patients and suggestions to improve care. Seventy-five out of ninety-two (82%) HCPs completed the survey, with 7% identifying as LGBTQ2 + . HCPs reported feeling less comfortable (88% vs. 80%, p = 0.031) and knowledgeable (44% vs. 27%, p < 0.001) caring for transgender patients compared to LGBQ2 + patients. Most (76%) were unaware whether LGBTQ2 + -specific patient educational materials existed within their institution. Almost all (92% strongly agreed/agreed) were interested in receiving LGBTQ2 + -specific education. Two themes emerged from analysis of open comments: (i) HCPs are concerned of offending LGBTQ2 + individuals because of their lack of knowledge and (ii) HCPs desire LGBTQ2 + -specific health training, specifically in asking pronouns and caring for transgender patients. HCPs report competency gaps in caring for LGBTQ2 + patients with cancer but desire education. In response, we recommend institutions develop an educational curriculum for HCPs improve communication and inclusivity in cancer care.

Rare exemplars and missed opportunities: Intersectionality within current sexual and gender diversity research and scholarship in psychology.

Using intersectionality as our critical analytical framework, we examined 22 articles on sexual and gender diversity (SGD) published in peer-reviewed psychology journals between January and June 2022 to: (1) identify their engagement with intersectionality's core themes; and (2) highlight key findings and directions for future intersectional SGD research. Our review includes 12 theoretical and empirical articles that addressed a breadth of topics such as intersectional stigma/discrimination, gendered racism, minority stress, and intersectional ableism. This review highlights opportunities within intersectional SGD research in psychology to provide a needed corrective to the discipline's tradition of individualistic, single-axis research focused on predominantly White, cisgender and heterosexual people, and attend to intersectionality's focus on intersecting power relations and commitments to social justice.

A systematic mapping literature review of education around sexual and gender diversities.

Education around sexual and gender identities is highly important to understand diversity and prevent discrimination, violence, and even murder. Nevertheless, educational institutions around the world are lacking a curriculum that explicitly includes diversity and acknowledges the LGBTQ+ community, a minority that over the years has been facing consequences from this exclusion. This study presents a detailed description of the process applied to analyze the studies using a systematic mapping literature review, as well as the positive results found from those educational institutions that started their path to inclusion around sexual and gender diversities through their curricula. The research questions targeted in this work are: What is being taught in educational institutions regarding sexual and gender diversities? What are the approaches used inside the classrooms to teach sexual and gender diversities? Which students are receiving education regarding sexual and gender diversities? Is there a technological approach and/or tool used to teach sexual and gender diversities? After applying the filtering processes, 69 studies were selected from five different online libraries: ACM, DOAJ, Lens.org, SCOPUS, and SpringerLink. The conclusions made from the findings of this review are that those studies that do tackle concerns around the topic have proven to benefit the LGBTQ+ community, the education around sexual and gender diversities predominates within the healthcare field, there are a lack of studies around this topic in Latin American countries, and technological tools are minimally used during the teaching processes.

Development of Narratives and Belief in a Just World in Victims of Bullying Due to Sexual and Gender Diversity Issues.

Students belonging to a sexual and gender minority go through experiences of injustice in their educational centers and are victims of school bullying. This research analyzes the relationship between these experiences and their influence on the development of the Belief in a Just World, as well as the impact of their experiences on the development of their narratives. Participants are students who have suffered from bullying due to sexual and gender diversity issues during their primary and secondary education stages (ages 15-40 years). Starting from a constructivist qualitative methodological approach, a semi-structured interview was developed as an instrument for collecting data on these aspects. The information extracted was contrasted with the results of the Personal and General Belief in a Just Word Scales. The results of the first interviews provide us with prior information on current identities and narratives and their representations of justice.

Abstract: Background: Although in the Anglo-Saxon world Affirmative Therapy has a long history with strong empirical support, in Ibero-America its development is recent. Objective: To analyze the Practice-Based Evidence of a network of affirmative psychology services for LGTBIQA+ persons in Ecuador. Methods: This is a naturalistic study analyzing Practice-Based Evidence generated using the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation - Outcome Measure as a routine evaluation tool to monitor the outcomes of 101 clients who received Affirmative Therapy between 2018 and 2020 in a network of affirmative psychology services for LGTBIQA+ people. Statistically significant change and reliable, clinically meaningful change were assessed. Results: Participants were on average 27.14 years old. The median number of sessions was six. There were statistically significant changes for those who completed the questionnaire at least twice. A large effect size was found for the total score and all dimensions except for Risk. Sixty-eigth percent participants showed improvement. Conclusions: The results suggest that Affirmative Therapy minimizes the risk brought on by minority stress. Students, therapists, and clients are encouraged to learn, adopt, and use Affirmative Therapy, respectively.

Strengths-based behavioral telehealth with sexual and gender diverse clients at Center on Halsted.

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated an immediate response and rapid transition from traditional face-to-face behavioral health services to behavioral telehealth at an organization serving sexual and gender diverse (SGD) individuals in Chicago. In this practice innovations article, we explore the unfolding public health crisis and the impact on service delivery for SGD individuals. Using a large multi-service organization as a case study, this paper describes how key members of the staff and leadership team shifted services online as a means of responding to isolation, loneliness, and disparities in access to healthcare for Chicago SGD communities. Lessons learned and practice recommendations are presented.

Are all LGBTQI+ patients white and male? Good practices and curriculum gaps in sexual and gender minority health issues in a Dutch medical curriculum.

Objectives: People marginalized based on their sexual and gender identity face specific health risks and experience barriers to culturally competent care. Insight into how Dutch medical schools address LGBTQI+ health-related learning objectives is scarce. We therefore examined how LGBTQI+ health issues are integrated in the Amsterdam UMC-VUmc medical curriculum by evaluating the year-two course 'Sex, Sexuality and Relationships' for LGBTQI+ content. Methods/Design: We examined written course content (course syllabus, lecture notes, and course literature) of the 2016-2017 course. We used a framework for essential LGBTQI+ content in medical education and an intersectional approach to examine which LGBTQI+ themes and subthemes were addressed. Results: Several essential LGBTQI+ health issues were adequately addressed and integrated into the Amsterdam UMC-VUmc curriculum, but we also identified curriculum gaps. The needs of patients with lesbian, bisexual, or gender non-conforming identities were marginally addressed, and issues related to intersections of minoritized sexual and gender identities with other aspects of diversity such as ethnicity, age and class remained unexplored. The course discussed gender and sexuality as fixed and mainly binary constructs, and only addressed biomedical explanatory models of sex, gender and sexuality. Discussion and conclusion: The absence of complex patient identities in relation to sex, gender and sexuality does not adequately prepare students to provide LGBTQI+ responsive care. If not designed and taught competently, LGBTQI+-related curriculum content may reproduce bias and stereotypes, and contribute to a medical climate where both LGBTQI+ patients, students, and doctors conceal their identities. Further implementation of LGBTQI+ health issues is required in (continuing) medical education to secure culturally competent clinical environments. Educational research is needed to understand how medical education contributes to marginalization of LGBTQI+ identities and thus, to health disparities.

A produção da diversidade sexual e de gênero nas práticas do CRAS / Production in the sexual and gender diversity within the practices of CRAS / Producción de la diversidad sexual y de género en las prácticas del CRAS

Este trabalho busca compreender como se produzem sujeitos, corpos e comportamentos por meio de atos performativos no interior dos dispositivos do gênero e da sexualidade nos serviços de um Centro de Referência de Assistência Social (CRAS). Para tanto, analisamos material etnográfico sobre como as práticas discursivas constituem as performatividades no tocante às expressões de gênero e sexualidade utilizando situações-problema pertinentes à diversidade sexual e de gênero em um CRAS, localizado em Porto Alegre, no Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Observamos que os/as técnicos/as sociais e os/as estagiários/as das áreas da Psicologia e do Serviço Social reconhecem a importância do CRAS enquanto porta de entrada para diferentes sujeitos e demandas, para além das famílias tradicionais e das mulheres cisgêneras. Entretanto, mesmo que a atenção às questões da assistência que são atravessadas pela diversidade sexual e de gênero seja uma preocupação neste serviço, tal tema urge ser inserido também nos processos de formação, assim como nas reuniões de rede e nas orientações da Política Nacional de Assistência Social (PNAS).

This research seeks to understand how the subjects, bodies, and behaviors are produced by performative roles within the gender and sexuality devices in the services offered at a Social Assistance Reference Center (CRAS). For this, we analyzed ethnographic material on how the discourse constitute the performativities regarding gender and sexual expressions making use of problematic situations pertinent to sexual and gender diversity in a CRAS, located in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. We observed that the social technician and psychology interns recognize the importance of the CRAS as an entry way for different subjects and demands beyond the traditional families and cisgender women. However, even though the attention to issues about social assistance which is crossed by sexual and gender diversity is a concern in this service. It needs, therefore, to also be present in the formation/training process, as well as in the meetings of the assistance network and in the guidelines of the National Social Assistance Policies (PNAS).

El objetivo de este trabajo es comprender cómo se producen los sujetos, los cuerpos y los comportamientos a través de actos performativos dentro de los dispositivos de género y sexualidad en los servicios de un Centro de referencia de asistencia social (CRAS). Con este fin, analizamos material etnográfico sobre cómo las prácticas discursivas constituyen performatividades con respecto a las expresiones de género y sexualidad utilizando situaciones problemáticas pertinentes a la diversidad sexual y de género en un CRAS, ubicado en Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Observamos que los técnicos sociales y los aprendices en las áreas de Psicología y Trabajo Social reconocen la importancia de CRAS como una puerta de entrada a diferentes temas y demandas, además de las familias tradicionales y las mujeres cisgénero. Sin embargo, a pesar de que la atención a los problemas de la asistencia que atraviesan la diversidad sexual y de género sea una preocupación en este servicio, dicho problema debe incluirse en los procesos de capacitación, así como en las reuniones de la red y las pautas de la Política Nacional de Asistencia Social (PNAS).

Conhecimentos de estudantes de psicologia sobre normas de atuação com indivíduos LGBTs / Psychology students' knowledge concerning guidelines for psychological practice with LGBTs / Conocimientos de estudiantes de psicología sobre las normas de actuación con individuos LGBTs

Discussões sobre gênero e sexualidade têm sido abordadas em vários contextos. Na Psicologia, autarquias como o Conselho Federal de Psicologia (CFP) elaboraram diversos documentos orientando a prática psicológica com indivíduos LGBTs. Entretanto, pesquisas têm mostrado que esses saberes têm sido omitidos nos currículos de graduação em Psicologia de várias faculdades, o que pode acarretar concepções diversas àquelas normatizadas e, muitas vezes, patologizantes sobre indivíduos LGBTs, podendo levar a condutas preconceituosas e até opostas às recomendações do CFP. Assim, o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi analisar as concepções de alunos de graduação em Psicologia interessados nas temáticas de gênero e sexualidade, com relação à diversidade sexual e de gênero, assim como seus conhecimentos sobre as declarações do CFP a respeito das homossexualidades e identidades trans. Oitenta e dois alunos, de diferentes faculdades e períodos responderam um questionário com perguntas sobre a formação e dados sociodemográficos, conhecimentos acerca da diversidade sexual e de gênero, e sobre as concepções e recomendações do CFP com relação aos indivíduos LGBTs. Os resultados mostraram que, para a maioria dos participantes, suas concepções acerca das homossexualidades foram, em geral, condizentes com as concepções das autarquias responsáveis pela normatização e fiscalização do exercício profissional do psicólogo. Entretanto, quando se trata das identidades trans, há um desconhecimento e concepções diversas às normatizadas a respeito das definições correntemente utilizadas, além da patologização de tais identidades. Desse modo, mostra-se imprescindível o oferecimento de disciplinas sobre gênero e sexualidade na Psicologia.

Debates regarding the topics of gender and sexuality are present in a myriad of contexts. In the field of Psychology, autarchies such as the Federal Council of Psychology (CFP, in Portuguese) produced documents and guidelines for psychological practice with LGBTs. Still, research has pointed out that these guidelines have been omitted in the curriculum of Psychology as a major, which could lead to conceptions that differed from the regulated by those autarchies, including prejudicial attitudes, and discrimination or practices opposed to the recommendations. In this sense, the present study aimed to analyze Psychology students' conceptions regarding gender and sexual diversity, as well as the students' knowledge concerning the official guidelines for psychological practice with LGBTs. Eighty-two Brazilian Psychology students, from different universities and periods, answered a questionnaire about their academic education, demographic data, and knowledge regarding gender and sexual diversity, as well as about the official guidelines for professional practice with LGBTs. Results showed that, for most participants, their conceptions about the homosexualities were generally consistent with the conceptions of the autarchies responsible for normalizing and supervising psychologist's professional practice. However, students showed conceptions that differed from the regulated ones regarding the definitions of trans identities, including pathologizating them, which calls for the inclusion of the subjects of gender and sexuality in the Psychology curriculum.

Las discusiones sobre género y sexualidad se han abordado en varios contextos. En la psicología, autoridades como el Consejo Federal de Psicología (CFP) han producido varios documentos que guían la práctica psicológica con individuos LGBTs. Sin embargo, la investigación ha demostrado que este conocimiento se ha omitido en los planes de estudios de estudiantes de Psicología de pregrado de varias universidades, lo que puede conducir a concepciones diferentes a las estandarizadas y a menudo patologizadoras sobre personas LGBTs, y puede conducir a prejuicios e incluso oponerse a las recomendaciones del CFP. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar las concepciones de los estudiantes universitarios de psicología interesados en los temas de género y sexualidad, en relación con la diversidad sexual y de género, así como sus conocimientos sobre las declaraciones del CFP sobre homosexualidades e identidades trans. Ochenta y dos estudiantes de diferentes universidades y períodos respondieron un cuestionario con preguntas sobre su formación académica y datos sociodemográficos, conocimiento sobre la diversidad sexual y de género, y las concepciones y recomendaciones del CFP con respecto a las personas LGBTs. Los resultados mostraron que, para la mayoría de los participantes, sus concepciones sobre las homosexualidades eran, en general, consistentes con las concepciones de las autoridades responsables por la estandarización y supervisión de la práctica profesional del psicólogo. Sin embargo, cuando se trata de identidades trans, existe una falta de conocimiento y concepciones diferentes de las estandarizadas con respecto a las definiciones utilizadas actualmente, además de la patologización de tales identidades. Por lo tanto, es esencial ofrecer disciplinas sobre género y sexualidad en los cursos de Psicología.
