Abstract

Introduction: Cisnormativity is a sociocultural narrative that contributes to the marginalisation of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people. The schema therapy model theorises that humans have five core emotional needs that must be met to support psychological well-being. Experiences of marginalisation may result in TGD people feeling as if their core emotional needs are not being met. Integrating the schema therapy model with an ecological systems perspective, this study aimed to examine how manifestations of cisnormativity across different levels of the social ecology impact the extent to which TGD people feel their core emotional needs are met.

Methods: An online qualitative survey was completed by 101 TGD adults, and the data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.

Results: Cisnormativity greatly impacted TGD people in ways that reflected the denial of numerous core emotional needs under the schema therapy model. The frustration of these needs was represented in four themes: disconnection and rejection; representation and reputation; suppressing and performing gender; and autonomy. The sources for these unmet needs were present across multiple levels of people's ecological systems.

Conclusion: Integrating an ecological systems perspective with the schema model demonstrated how the sociocultural context can directly and indirectly interfere with the meeting of core emotional needs. Some of the needs constructs demonstrated conceptual overlap, necessitating further investigation of the schema therapy model. This study documented the wide-ranging impacts of cisnormativity on TGD people, highlighting novel considerations that should be incorporated into the schema therapy model and models of TGD mental health and well-being.

跨性别及性别差异个体的顺规范性与核心情感需求受挫。
顺规范是一种社会文化叙事,导致变性人和性别多样性(TGD)人被边缘化。图式治疗模型认为,人类有五种核心情感需求,必须得到满足才能维持心理健康。被边缘化的经历可能会导致TGD患者感觉他们的核心情感需求没有得到满足。结合图式治疗模型和生态系统视角,本研究旨在探讨顺规范性在不同社会生态层面的表现如何影响TGD人感觉其核心情感需求得到满足的程度。方法:对101名TGD成人进行在线定性调查,采用自反性主题分析方法对数据进行分析。结果:顺规范性对TGD患者的影响很大,反映了图式治疗模式下对许多核心情感需求的否认。这些需求的挫折表现在四个主题中:断开连接和拒绝;代表和声誉;压制和执行性别;和自主权。这些未满足需求的来源存在于人类生态系统的多个层面。结论:将生态系统视角与图式模型相结合,揭示了社会文化背景如何直接或间接地影响核心情感需求的满足。一些需求结构表现出概念上的重叠,需要对图式治疗模型进行进一步的研究。本研究记录了顺规范性对TGD患者的广泛影响,强调了应该纳入图式治疗模型和TGD心理健康和福祉模型的新考虑。
