Abstract

Transgender individuals with previous convictions for sexual offenses are an under-researched yet growing population in the UK. This study adopted a qualitative approach to exploring the lived experiences of three such individuals who were currently living in the community under the management of Probation Services. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to analyze the data derived from semi-structured interviews with the participants. Two superordinate themes were identified: "The process of coming out" and "How the world treats me/sees me." The superordinate and subordinate themes are presented and discussed in relation to working with this group of individuals. The findings highlight the psychological impact of identity invalidation and stigma, and the value of responsive, gender-affirming support. This has practical implications for Probation Services, suggesting that inclusive and flexible approaches are key to promoting engagement, well-being, and rehabilitation in this marginalized group.

探索英国社区中有过性犯罪前科的变性女性的生活经历。

在英国，有过性犯罪前科的变性人是一个研究不足但却在不断增长的群体。本研究采用了一种定性的方法来探索目前生活在缓刑服务管理下的社区中的三个这样的个人的生活经历。解释性现象学分析被用于分析从半结构化访谈中获得的数据。他们确定了两个最重要的主题：“出柜的过程”和“世界如何对待我/看待我”。提出并讨论了与这群人一起工作的上级和下级主题。调查结果强调了身份无效和耻辱的心理影响，以及积极响应的性别肯定支持的价值。这对缓刑服务具有实际意义，表明包容和灵活的方法是促进这一边缘化群体参与、福祉和康复的关键。
