Abstract

In the current intersectionality-focused discourse within sexuality research, individuals existing at the convergence of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer+ (LGBTQ+) are often overlooked. Individuals with IDD face difficulties acquiring sexual knowledge and skills due to limited opportunities for sexual socialization, misconceptions concerning sexuality and IDD, lack of comprehensive sexual education, restricted support from staff and caregivers, and a lack of community experiences that facilitate the development of healthy sexuality. When an individual with IDD identifies as LGBTQ+, these disability-related barriers can exacerbate the stigma and discrimination some LGBTQ+ people experience. Using the intimate justice framework, we explore avenues to support and foster inclusivity within the LGBTQ+ community for members with IDD. Several recommendations were identified from the literature search, including logistical considerations and using accessible language for outreach events, presentations, workshops, training, and other activities and opportunities for sexuality education while challenging disability-related stigma in LGBTQ+ spaces.

增加LGBTQ健康性社会化的机会+ IDD患者:LGBTQ的作用+ 组织和社区。
在当前性研究中以交叉性为重点的话语中,存在于智力和发育障碍(IDD)与女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和酷儿+(LGBTQ+)交汇处的个体往往被忽视。由于性社会化机会有限、对性行为和IDD的误解、缺乏全面的性教育、工作人员和护理人员的支持有限以及缺乏促进健康性行为发展的社区经验,IDD患者在获得性知识和性技能方面面临困难。当IDD患者被认定为LGBTQ+时,这些与残疾相关的障碍会加剧一些LGBTQ的耻辱感和歧视+ 人们体验。利用亲密司法框架,我们探索支持和促进LGBTQ包容性的途径+ IDD患者社区。从文献检索中确定了一些建议,包括后勤考虑,在外联活动、演讲、研讨会、培训和其他性教育活动和机会中使用无障碍语言,同时挑战LGBTQ中与残疾相关的污名+ 空间。
