Abstract #09.11.01 — Morbidity and Mortality of Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming People of Color Author(s) :: F Pezzella; E Taylor; B Lawton Author(s) Affiliation(s) :: John Jay College of Criminal Justice (FP,ET, BL) PURPOSE Hate crimes hurt more than ordinary crimes. Forty-eight states have enacted legislation that includes more severe sanctions when hate is the motivating factor. However, the severity of physical and psychological injuries of hate crimes varies across victim types. These challenges are especially severe for transgender and gender non-conforming people of color, (TGGNCPC) who face victimization due to the intersection of their race and gender identity. According to the Trevor Project's 2021 National Survey on LGBTQ+ Youth Mental Health, 52% of transgender and gender non-conforming young people thought about suicide in 2020. This was largely linked to societal rejection and targeted discrimination based on gender identity. We hypothesize that transgender people of color – particularly Black and Latina trans women are at a higher risk for victimization compared to white transgender people and much higher than their cisgender counterparts. Moreover, we propose that despite the severity of physical or psychological injuries TGGNCPC are less likely to seek help. METHODS Incorporating a sample of victims from the NCVS, we construct a series of logistic regression models to assess the relative morbidity and mortality risks of TGGNCPC against white transgender, cisgender, and other hate victim types. We examine physical and psychological injuries and help seeking behaviors. RESULTS/EXPECTED RESULTS Preliminary results indicate that Black transgender and gender non-conforming victims are four times more likely to sustain serious bodily injury and less likely to seek help from health professionals. DISCUSSION Findings support the hypothesis that TGGNCPC are at higher risk for victimization. It is vital that health professionals understand the uniqueness of hate crime victimization of TGGNCPC and the consequential rates of morbidity and mortality this vulnerable population sustains. Our findings contribute to the scant body of knowledge about this underserved and understudied victim population.
