Religious trauma and moral injury from LGBTQA+ conversion practices
Publisher: Elsevier BV
Date: 07-2022
DOI: 10.1016/J.SOCSCIMED.2022.115040
Abstract: Religion-based LGBTQA + conversion practices frame all people as potential heterosexuals whose gender aligns with their birth sex (in a cisgender binary model of male and female sexes). Deviation from this heterosexual cisgender social identity model is cast as curable 'sexual brokenness'. However, research shows conversion practices are harmful, and particularly associated with increased experiences of abuse, mental health diagnoses, and suicidality. This paper explores their contribution to the particular harms of moral injury and religious trauma, drawing firstly on the foundational moral injury literature to offer a unique conceptual framework of spiritual harm and moral injury, and secondly on a rare qualitative 2016-2021 study of the spiritual harms reported in semi-structured interviews of 42 survivors of LGBTQA + change and suppression practices in Australia. The paper examines the survivors' support needs around the nature and extent of religious trauma and moral injury, to inform services working towards supporting their recovery from such experiences and their resolution of conflicts deeply bound in their sense of self and belonging. It argues that impairment of conversion survivors' relationships with religious communities, and religious self-concepts, point to the need for additional improvements in pastoral practice.

Abstract: The United Nations called member states to better support the education rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and asexual (LGBTIQA +) people in recent years. However, Australian policy debates about schools’ ‘religious freedom’ and exemptions around gender and sexuality discrimination continue. This article explores 1293 LGBTIQA + students’ experiences around religious freedom, gender, and sexuality by school type using data from the 2022 ‘Gender and Sexuality Expression in Schools’ survey. To understand correlations for students’ religious vs. non-religious educational institution types, basic descriptive and correlative statistical analyses were undertaken for quantitative data in SPSS and Excel including chi-square tests, alongside Leximancer-supported thematic analyses of qualitative responses. Attending religious schools was associated with (1) increased anti-LGBTIQA + and religious freedom-restricting policies, messages, and practices (2) increased sexual orientation and gender identity and expression change efforts (SOGIECE) messages and practices and (3) increased negative consequences and feelings. In religious education sites, professionals — especially teachers/educators — were more likely to spread anti-LGBTIQA + messaging at class/group and school-wide levels especially around ‘sinning’ however, professional codes appeared deterrents for school psychologists. In government schools, students more often unofficially spread anti-LGBTIQA + messaging around ‘brokenness’ or ‘social harmfulness’, mostly one-on-one. The article shows the value of anti-discrimination laws and professional codes in reducing official problematic practices, for those contexts and professionals they applied to. Removal of exemptions for religious education institutions in anti-discrimination laws, revisions of education policies, and clearer protections for LGBTIQA + people in educators’ professional codes are recommended.

Young People and HIV Prevention in Australian Schools
Publisher: Guilford Publications
Date: 06-2014
DOI: 10.1521/AEAP.2014.26.3.224
Abstract: Australia has not seen a Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) epidemic among young people. However, early research in the Australian context had indicated that the degree of unprotected sexual activity, partner change, and STI infection in this cohort would fuel a young people's epidemic if HIV ever reached a tipping point in the country. The difficulty of reaching young people outside school for HIV prevention has been no more successfully addressed in Australia than elsewhere. Therefore, the investment of Australian HIV prevention funds for youth has had an emphasis on school-based programs. This emphasis on formal schooling has led to a history of engagement with the ad hoc and unreliable nature of sexuality education in Australian schools. It has particularly been the catalyst for a struggle to construct young people as sexually active and as possessing a right to appropriate education, against tides of both secular and religiously-motivated resistance. The eight state and territory education sectors, along with the independent sectors, have had differing and sometimes troubled histories with HIV prevention. This paper discusses the differing HIV education policies and programs that have emerged in Australian schooling historically, and in some cases been abandoned altogether, amid strong public debates. It also considers current approaches, the new national curriculum, and future challenges. Additionally, the particular case of same sex attracted young men, who have a heightened level of vulnerability to HIV, is explored. Australian schools have struggled to address both the imperative for relevant sexuality education for same-sex-attracted young people and the broader issue of combating homophobia, which research has linked directly to this vulnerability.

DOI: 10.1071/SH17001
Abstract: Background The United Nations (UN) and related UN bodies have recognised transgender and gender erse (TGD) students’ rights at the global level to full equitable access to education, and specifically sexuality education, repeatedly. Methods: This article explores the available support for this equal access in Australia. It discusses TGD student rights in a range of Australian laws and education policies. Results: It shows how the inclusion of TGD students, particularly in sexuality education, is reinforced in the current Australian National Curricula. Finally, it considers research on Australian TGD students’ educational attainment, experiences of transphobic abuse and violence, and experiences in contexts where they do and do not have staff (and other) support. It also shows that contrary to the picture of TGD students as victims leading inherently negative lives often seen in research, this group is nevertheless capable of resilience and positive education activism, which promotes their wellbeing and social outcomes. Conclusion: It argues for a shift from harmful approaches of victimising TGD students or treating them only as victims, towards celebrating the contributions of these students to their schools and societies.
An integrative literature review of menstruation patterns in people with congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Publisher: University of Toronto Press Inc. (UTPress)
Date: 12-2022
Abstract: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) encompasses a range of inherited autosomal recessive enzyme conditions that impact steroid hormone production. This lifelong condition has associated health risks for some in iduals, including adrenal crisis, and menstruation and fertility issues. Health literacy materials focused on the physical and pharmacological aspects of managing menstruation (i.e., treatment to initiate or maintain menses for those with CAH) are scarce. This article addresses this gap by exploring menses patterns in people with CAH. An integrative literature review searched articles published between 2005 and 2020, and 30 articles met inclusion criteria. Study findings indicated that while menarche seems to occur at an average age for people with CAH, menstruation is commonly disrupted and irregular. Several studies reported in iduals achieving regular menses and pregnancy, while others noted in iduals consistently showing poor control, irregular menses, and infertility despite ongoing treatment. A few studies reported such in iduals as “non-adherent” or worse “non-compliant” with their medication regimens when health outcomes were lower than expected. We emphasize that such fault finding by health service providers around adherence acts as a barrier to communication with people with CAH. We argue that a sustained and coordinated person-centred approach focusing on communication and education across situational, developmental, and organizational transitions, can promote health literacy, foregrounding in iduals’ health and bodily autonomy across their life span. Future research needs to address gaps in knowledge translation that supports menstrual education for in iduals with CAH. Studies should also address how medication management is assessed and adherence negotiated with in iduals with CAH.

Sexuality, gender, and culturally diverse interpretations of cyberbullying
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 14-11-2021
DOI: 10.1177/14614448211055366
Abstract: The cyberbullying field has quickly expanded in the past 20 years and especially includes strong emphases on erse and marginal youth groups. However, the field’s literature defines cyberbullying in widely erging ways while lacking consideration of how erse youth groups themselves define and apply the term cyberbullying. This article aimed to consider how culturally, sexuality and gender- erse youth understandings, experiences and interpretations of cyberbullying can be used to redress gaps in current academic notions of cyberbullying. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 young people exploring their understandings, interpretations and experiences of cyberbullying. Participants were aged 18–25 years and self-identified as from a culturally and linguistically erse (CALD) background and/or part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Interview question themes explored participants’ social media engagement, online communities and cyberbullying experiences. NVivo was used to perform thematic analyses. Findings largely suggested that the confusion regarding the term and definition of cyberbullying among researchers is also reflected in the population of erse young people’s understandings and interpretations of cyberbullying. Whether these conflicted definitions were due to the confusion among youth populations or because academics and policymakers have failed to communicate a clear cyberbullying definition to the public was unclear. Considerations and future directions around the language and behaviours that should be included in a definition of cyberbullying are suggested to more clearly communicate the concept to future respondents and to the wider community.

Australian LGBTQ teachers, exclusionary spaces and points of interruption
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 03-2016
Abstract: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) teachers are a marginalised group that historically have been absent from research on sexuality and schooling. Rather, much research in the field has focused upon the experiences of same sex attracted and increasingly, gender erse young people in schools, as well as the delivery of sexuality education. Up until recently, very little research has been carried out that explicitly addresses the experiences of LGBTQ teachers, particularly within the Australian context. This article focuses upon key issues arising from the semi-structured interviews that the Out/In Front team carried out as part of a pilot study that took place between April and July 2013 in the state of Victoria, Australia. We interviewed nine current or former teachers working within primary and secondary education across the public, Catholic and private sectors. This paper focuses upon the notion that LGBTQ teachers exist within a ‘space of exclusion’ that is dominated by discursive mechanisms that (re)produce heteronormativity. We also argue that the Victorian policy context – as well as increasing socio-political tolerance for LGBTQ people within Australia – enables LGBT teachers to interrupt the discursive frameworks within which their professional lives are situated.

Thriving Not Surviving: LGBTQ+ Students’, Staff, and Parents’ Experiences of Schools as Sites of Euphoria
Publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC
Date: 14-07-2023
DOI: 10.1007/S13178-023-00839-7
Abstract: Internationally, research has shown Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender/gender erse, and Queer (LGBTQ+) people experience multifaceted challenges within school contexts. However, there is only a small emergent body of research on how LGBTQ+ community members might also experience positive, joyful, or euphoric experiences in these same spaces. Using euphoria and minority stress models, this article aims to consider whether schools themselves can be supportive and protective environments for LGBTQ+ people, how features of the school environment and school community might enable experiences of LGBTQ+ -related euphoria, and how euphoric experiences may be similar for students, staff and parents, and cisgender and gender erse (GD) members of the LGBTQ+ community. The study employed elements of grounded theory to analyse survey responses of LGBTQ+ students ( n = 706), school staff ( n = 107), and parents ( n = 57). The survey data was collected online from 2021 to 2022 and explored LGBTQ+ community members’ experiences in, and perceptions of, Australian schools. Euphoria was predominantly related to school social contexts (such as supportive social climates), followed by school practices (such as LGBTQ+ representation), and internal experiences (such as pride). These events were shared by students, staff, and parents similarly. Euphoric events were shared by cisgender and GD participants, although gender-affirming social contexts and school practices were valued particularly by GD students, parents, and staff. Schools can act as supportive contexts for LGBTQ+ students, staff, and parents in terms of social characteristics and school practices using mostly similar methods. Implications for policy development include school-wide interventions that include and reflect all LGBTQ+ people in all education-based roles, via school curricula and activities, public education, and awareness-raising endeavours. Implications for policy development include school-wide interventions that include and reflect all LGBTQ+ people in all education-based roles, via school curricula and activities, public education and awareness-raising endeavours.

Lifespan healthcare transitions among individuals with intersex traits in Canada: a mixed-methods and qualitative study
Publisher: BMJ
Date: 04-2022
DOI: 10.1136/BMJOPEN-2021-055759
Abstract: To: (1) complete an integrative literature review of transition studies that focus on in iduals with intersex traits (2) conduct an environmental scan of the current resources (practice guidelines, policies and procedures) used by healthcare providers working with Canadians with intersex traits (3) investigate the experiences of Canadians with intersex traits in their healthcare transitions across the lifespan and (4) assess the understanding of healthcare providers about these transitions. A qualitative prospective community participation study was conducted. It used mixed methods including an environmental scan and semistructured engagement sessions. The environmental scan examined resources available throughout Canada. The engagement sessions took place in British Columbia and Ontario, Canada. Sixteen participants were recruited. These included 13 in iduals with intersex traits (a heterogeneous group of congenital conditions affecting the development of sex characteristics) and three caregivers. Mixed methods included an integrated literature review, environmental scan and qualitative approaches developed in collaboration with community partners. The literature review identified gaps in transition care for in iduals with intersex traits. The environmental scan uncovered no specific resources used by healthcare providers working with patients with intersex traits, though several general guidelines were used. Engaging providers in the study was problematic. Thematic analysis generated three main themes that emerged from the engagement sessions: (1) transition is a lifespan activity (2) building personal agency is valuable and (3) well-being promotion is an application of health literacy. Transition resources for in iduals living in Canada with intersex are scarce. Transitions happen across the lifespan with ownership of thought and actions seen as acts of personal agency. Health literacy skills and knowledge change with increased age, yet the primary source of knowledge often remained important in the in idual’s autobiographical self.

Abstract: This chapter discusses queer theory definitions and methods. It explores some key queer research study ex les in education, including policy research, curriculum and textbook analysis, studies of classroom talk, student surveys and other study types. It provides some key questions that can be used in basic queer reading strategies and linguistics for policy, curriculum and classroom talk analysis Butler's most well-known concept of performativity and the potential usefulness of less widely applied concepts including overplay, transference and erasure, as well as other approaches. The chapter finally considers the value of key critiques of queer theory and the way the theory questions the privileging of certain models of time and space, including the Anthropocene age itself.

Religious Conversion Practices and LGBTQA + Youth
Publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC
Date: 06-07-2021
DOI: 10.1007/S13178-021-00615-5
Abstract: Multiple jurisdictions are debating responses to United Nations calls for banning attempts at conversion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and asexual (LGBTQA +) peoples’ identities to fit religious norms. This paper aimed to examine Australian LGBTQA + youths’ experiences and outcomes of religious conversion practices attempting to change or suppress their gender or sexuality. It explored how attending conversion practices related to demographic characteristics and outcomes. A 2019 online health and social well-being survey promoted via erse social media questioned 6412 LGBTQA + Australians aged 14–21 years on their experiences of sexuality or gender change or suppression practices. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed to understand relationships between exposure to conversion practices and demographic, socio-behavioural, and health and well-being measures. Whilst most participants had never attended counselling, group work, programs or interventions aimed at changing their sexuality or gender identity, 4% had attended such conversion practices. Analyses showed associations between engaging with conversion practices and (1) specific demographics (being cisgender male, multi-gender-attracted, unemployed, affiliated to a religion at the personal or household level) (2) social experiences (increased exposure to social rejection, negative remarks and harassment) (3) socio-behavioural outcomes (decreased education, sport and housing opportunities) and (4) negative health and mental health outcomes (including increased suicidality and self-harm). The paper showed that conversion practices are correlated with poor well-being outcomes, providing arguments for expanding inclusive health and mental health services allowing for affirming religious and non-religious identities for LGBTQA + youth. The paper provides evidence supporting bans on conversion practices.

Alleviating gender dysphoria: A qualitative study of perspectives of trans and gender diverse people
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 09-05-2022
DOI: 10.1177/13558196211013407
Abstract: This study sought to explore perspectives of trans and gender erse (TGD) people of ways to alleviate gender dysphoria in service provision and to develop a framework for application in health and other areas that can be used by researchers and service providers to design study protocols, assess organisations and enhance everyday practice in ways that are sensitive to TGD people’s experiences. Data from a national Australian survey on TGD people conducted in 2018–2019 (n = 340) were used to develop a framework for alleviating dysphoria. Participants were asked an open-ended question on ways that body discomfort could be minimised in clinical encounters. Inductive thematic analysis was used to develop themes true to participant sentiment, which formed the basis for the development of a framework. The s le was overall young, with 60.6% aged 18–24, and a strong representation of gender erse people (42.6%). The most important theme for participants was the context of the experience, which included the subthemes of the interpersonal qualities of service providers, language and pronouns, and practical aspects. Aspects of systems were also important, with education and awareness being particularly emphasised, followed by inclusive environments. Access to gender affirming medical and surgical procedures was rarely mentioned (2.6%). A minority of participants indicated that there was nothing that could be done to alleviate their gender dysphoria (4.4%). The study proposes a framework that can help facilitate assessment of a service’s current practices, inform a practitioner’s daily practice and be used by researchers to appropriately design studies. The most important areas to address centre on the context of the immediate experience, which may be influenced through systems-level characteristics.

DOI: 10.1007/S13187-020-01697-2
Abstract: The aim was to explore issues in relation to accessing cancer care for the Australian trans and gender erse community through key informant interviews to inform a larger study on the topic. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with key informants who either had clinical and/or research experience with trans and gender erse populations or were members of the community who act as advocates (total n = 14). Participants had erse genders, including three transwomen, one transman, three non-binary people, six cis woman and one cis man. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the transcripts. Four themes were identified in the data: 'More Important Issues' than Cancer Concern, Experiences of Cancer Care, Barriers to Cancer Care and (Potential) Facilitating Factors to Access Cancer Care. The findings show the inconsistencies in awareness of cancer in the trans and gender erse population, both within the community itself and in healthcare. There are issues concerning underutilization of screening services, healthcare workers lacking knowledge and an invisibility within organizations and systems. Education is needed in cancer care, as are partnerships with community organizations, inclusive policies, improved data collection on gender, targeted health promotion and research.
