Abstract

This study examines perceived source credibility of health information in a moment of TGD health disinformation. Through thematic analysis of in-depth interviews with 30 transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals, findings suggest health information is marred by anti-TGD legislation, a sociopolitical force that bleeds into health information spaces. Disinformation and TGD health communication are intertwined in complex ways, whereby disinformation can undermine trust in healthcare institutions, lead to harmful behaviors, and contribute to the spread of diseases. Health communication practitioners need to center the safety and humanity of TGD people, addressing TGD health disinformation.

虚假信息时代的健康传播：变性人和性别多元化人群对信息来源可信度的看法。

本研究探讨了在变性者和性别多元化者健康信息不实的情况下，人们对健康信息来源可信度的看法。通过对 30 名变性人和性别多元化（TGD）人士的深入访谈进行主题分析，研究结果表明，反变性人和性别多元化立法给健康信息造成了损害，这种社会政治力量渗入了健康信息空间。虚假信息和 TGD 健康传播以复杂的方式交织在一起，虚假信息会破坏人们对医疗机构的信任，导致有害行为，并助长疾病的传播。健康传播从业者需要以同性恋、双性恋和变性者的安全和人性为中心，解决同性恋、双性恋和变性者的健康虚假信息问题。
