Studying trans: recommendations for ethical recruitment and collaboration with transgender participants in academic research (2018, background): “This has resulted in a seemingly contradictory circumstance – transgender communities that feel ‘research participation fatigue’ (Tagonist, 2009), yet large knowledge gaps on trans experiences and well-being persist (Bauer et al., 2009; MacCarthy, Reisner, Nunn, PerezBrumer, & Operario, 2015).”
The Experience of Parents Who Support Their Children's Gender Variance (2015, background): ““Institutional erasure,” that is, “a lack of policies that accommodate trans identities or transbodies, including the lack of knowledge that such policies are even necessary” (Bauer et al., 2009, p. 354), is a reality for parents of gender-variant children too.”
Hetero-cis–normativity and the gendering of transphobia (2016, background): “As Bauer et al. (2009) suggest, transgender people currently represent one of the most marginalized groups in the United States.”
Evaluating inclusive gender identity measures for use in quantitative psychological research (2018, methodology): “I use ‘transgender’ as an umbrella term to refer to all people whose gender identity differs from their assigned sex at birth (Bauer et al., 2009).”
New Categories Are Not Enough (2015, background): “Thus, the world constructed by these surveys is cisnormative (Bauer et al. 2009), meaning that it assumes that everyone is cisgender (e.g., that people do not change sex/gender over time).”
Negative identity experiences of bisexual and other non-monosexual people: A qualitative report (2016, background): “The six themes identified included romantic relationship issues; erasure; ambivalence about coming out; cissexism, that is, the notion that there are only two discrete genders (Bauer et al., 2009); heterosexism; and bisexual stereotypes.”
Transgender youth homelessness: Understanding programmatic barriers through the lens of cisgenderism (2015, background): “Cisgenderism shapes the social context of the United States, from the individual practices of human interaction to the establishment of organizations and the procedures of institutions (Bauer et al., 2009).”
Debating "Alternative" Gender Identities: The Online Discourse Triggered by 2014 Life Ball Advertising Posters (2016, background): ““cisnormativity” (Bauer et al., 2009) and “cissexism” (Serano, 2007).”
Guidelines for psychological practice with transgender and gender nonconforming people. (2015, neutral): “…health disparities, including TGNC people who are of color, immigrants, low income, homeless, veterans, incarcerated, live in rural areas, or have disabilities (Bauer et al., 2009; Hanssmann, Morrison, Russian, Shiu-Thorn-ton, & Bowen, 2010; Shipherd et al., 2012; Walinsky & Whitcomb, 2010).”
Gender-Related Victimization, Perceived Social Support, and Predictors of Depression Among Transgender Australians (2014, background): “Transgender persons are often underrepresented in research and the available research is often overlooked in the context of health care, a phenomena referred to as “informational erasure” (Bauer et al., 2009).”
Depression in Male-to-Female Transgender Ontarians: Results from the Trans PULSE Project (2011, background): “Erasure—“a defining condition of how transsexuality is managed in culture and institutions, a condition that ultimately inscribes transsexuality as impossible” (Namaste, 2000)—may further contribute to barriers in accessing housing, employment, and social services (Bauer et al., 2009).”
