TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Exploring the domestic abuse narratives of trans and nonbinary people and the role of cisgenderism in identity abuse, misgendering, and pathologizing JO - Violence against women A1 - Rogers, Michaela M. SP - 2187 EP - 2207 VL - 27 IS - 12-13 N2 - Drawing on data from two empirical studies, this article employs cisgenderism as a conceptual tool to explore trans people's experiences of domestic violence and abuse (DVA). Distinct modes of cisgenderism are analyzed. These are identity abuse, microaggressions, misgendering, and pathologizing practices. Qualitative data were collected via semistructured interviews (n = 24). Two inclusion criteria were used for this secondary analysis requiring participants to self-identify as trans or nonbinary and have experience of DVA. The findings illuminate the extent of cisgenderism as underpinning experiences of DVA. The article ends with a call for further theoretical and empirical research in this regard.
