Abstract
Abstract Utilizing minority stress framework, this study assessed a model examining the mechanisms associated with bisexual women’s and gender expansive peoples’ experiences of sexual assault and PTSD symptoms. A total of 378 bisexual women and gender expansive people participated in this study, with the majority of participants identifying as White, cisgender women. Findings revealed that higher levels of outness were positively associated with more frequent anti-bisexual discrimination. In addition, anti-bisexual discrimination and sexual assault were significantly positively related to greater PTSD symptoms. Anti-bisexual discrimination was uniquely positively associated with more frequent experiences of sexual assault, and outness was indirectly related to sexual assault through anti-bisexual discrimination. Moreover, anti-bisexual discrimination was indirectly related to PTSD symptoms through sexual assault. Suggestions for future research and practice implications are discussed.
