Abstract

Black trans and nonbinary persons in the United States, including nonbinary Black womxn (NBBW), traverse ongoing antitrans legislation and disproportionate violence. There is an immediate need for research examining how Black trans and nonbinary people, generally, and NBBW, particularly, negotiate if, when, and how to share their gendered-racial identities, which could inform the development of culturally informed approaches to working with gender-diverse Black womxn in research and practice. Therefore, we qualitatively examined NBBW perceptions regarding what influences their willingness to share their gendered-racial identity with others. Data were from Project Nonbinary Black Womxn, a multistudy community-based participatory action research project launched in 2023. We conducted semistructured online interviews with N = 11 predominantly Black American NBBW (M = 25.27, SD = 3.66, 21-30). We examined their responses to the following inquiry using interpretative phenomenological analysis guided by a Black queer feminist thought interpretive framework: What influences who and when you choose to share your identity with people? Themes were (a) "Safety is my number one priority": organic emergence (subthemes: passing "privilege" and relational intimacy) and (b) "We have politicians who are actively trying to eradicate queer and trans people": obligatory emergence (subtheme: communal protection and embodied advocacy). Findings inform decolonial conceptualizations of gender diversity and cultural humility within psychotherapeutic practice and research for NBBW populations.

“人们已经不知道我他妈的在说什么了”：非二元黑人女性分享性别-种族身份的观点。

美国的黑人跨性别者和非二元性别者，包括非二元性别黑人妇女（NBBW），面临着持续不断的反跨性别立法和不成比例的暴力。我们迫切需要研究黑人跨性别者和非双性恋者，尤其是黑人黑人，如何协商是否、何时以及如何分享他们的性别-种族身份，这可以为在研究和实践中与性别多样化的黑人妇女合作的文化知情方法的发展提供信息。因此，我们定性地考察了NBBW对影响他们与他人分享性别-种族认同的意愿的看法。数据来自非二元黑人妇女项目，这是一个基于社区的多研究参与性行动研究项目，于2023年启动。我们进行了半结构化的在线访谈，N = 11名主要是美国黑人NBBW （M = 25.27, SD = 3.66, 21-30）。在黑人酷儿女权主义思想解释框架的指导下，我们使用解释性现象学分析来检查他们对以下问题的回答：是什么影响了你选择与他人分享你的身份？主题是：(a)“安全是我的第一要务”：有机涌现（副主题：传递“特权”和亲密关系）；(b)“我们有积极试图根除酷儿和变性人的政客”：强制性涌现（副主题：公共保护和具体倡导）。研究结果为NBBW人群心理治疗实践和研究中的性别多样性和文化谦卑的非殖民化概念提供了信息。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
