Abstract

Globally, transgender people engaged in sex work experience disproportionately high risks of victimization. While qualitative studies on the perspectives of transgender people engaged in sex work can shed light on their intersecting experiences, a qualitative synthesis could offer a systematic understanding and inform anti-oppressive practices and policies. This review explores the experience of stigma, violence, victimization, and associated coping strategies among transgender people engaged in sex work. We conducted a literature search in November 2023 on MEDLINE, Social Work Abstracts, and CINAHL PLUS from EBSCOhost, APA PsycInfo, ASSIA, and Sociological Abstracts from ProQuest and SCOPUS (PROSPERO ID: CRD42023478844). From 1,085 studies retrieved, 64 were included in this review. Thematic synthesis identified seven themes: (a) individual struggle, (b) interpersonal violence, (c) community transphobia and exclusion, (d) systemic oppression, (e) individual coping strategies, (f) community resources, and (g) organizational support as coping resources. This review contributes to the discussion around the health vulnerabilities of transgender people engaged in sex work that inherently result from intersecting victimization in a larger global context, including trafficking, urban planning, migration, and COVID-19. Identification of the coping strategies of transgender people engaged in sex work also highlights their resilience and sites of empowerment. Policymakers and professionals should be mindful of the intersectional identities of transgender people engaged in sex work and initiate peer- and community-led interventions to support them in building intersectional solidarity and resisting victimization.

对从事性工作的变性人中的污名化、暴力、受害及相关应对措施的定性系统回顾

在全球范围内，从事性工作的变性人遭受伤害的风险高得不成比例。对从事性工作的变性人视角的定性研究可以揭示他们的交叉经历，而定性综述可以提供系统性的理解，并为反压迫实践和政策提供信息。本综述探讨了从事性工作的变性人的污名化、暴力、受害经历以及相关的应对策略。我们于 2023 年 11 月在 EBSCOhost 的 MEDLINE、Social Work Abstracts 和 CINAHL PLUS，ProQuest 和 SCOPUS 的 APA PsycInfo、ASSIA 和 Sociological Abstracts（PROSPERO ID：CRD42023478844）上进行了文献检索。在检索到的 1,085 项研究中，有 64 项被纳入本综述。专题综合确定了七个主题：(a) 个人抗争，(b) 人际暴力，(c) 社区对变性人的仇视和排斥，(d) 系统性压迫，(e) 个人应对策略，(f) 社区资源，以及 (g) 作为应对资源的组织支持。本综述有助于围绕从事性工作的变性人在健康方面的脆弱性展开讨论，这些脆弱性是在更大的全球背景下，包括人口贩运、城市规划、移民和 COVID-19 等交叉伤害所固有的结果。对从事性工作的变性人的应对策略的识别也突显了他们的复原力和赋权场所。政策制定者和专业人士应注意从事性工作的变性人的交叉身份，并启动同伴和社区主导的干预措施，支持他们建立交叉团结，抵制伤害。
