Abstract

This thesis examines domestic violence in the transgender community in Queensland, Australia. Interviews with eight transgender people and five transgender-friendly service providers investigated: transgender people's experiences of domestic violence; the unique issues faced by transgender people; and challenges and barriers for transgender people accessing support services. Utilising the continuum of violence, this thesis finds that domestic violence in the transgender community is an extension of the structural inequality and violence that transgender people experience in their everyday lives. These experiences inform and influence recognition of and help-seeking for domestic violence.
