Kusoo dhawoow daabacaadda xagaaga ee warsidaha FastTrackerMN! Waxaan diiradda saareynaa muhiimadda ay leedahay xaqiijinta daryeelka caafimaadka dhimirka ee shakhsiyaadka LGBTQIA+. Waxaad ka heli doontaa macluumaad ku saabsan waxa daryeelka xaqiijinta dhab ahaantii ka dhigan yahay, sababta ay muhiim u tahay, iyo sida loo helo bixiyeyaasha loo dhan yahay.

Xaqiijinta daryeelka caafimaadka dhimirka ee shakhsiyaadka LGBTQIA+ waxay la macno tahay bixinta xaqiijin, taageero, iyo meel ammaan ah oo ay ku wadaagaan waayo-aragnimadooda iyada oo aan la xukumin; ka caawinta shakhsiyaadka baahiyahooda gaarka ah ee ku saabsan jinsiga, galmada, iyo aqoonsiga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waxaan rabnay inaan idinla wadaagno tirakoobyo si aan u iftiimino caqabadaha caafimaadka dhimirka ee ay wajahayaan shakhsiyaadka LGBTQIA+. Tirakoobyadu waxay ka yimaadeen Mashruuca Trevor, KFF, iyo Mental Health America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c"39% oo ka mid ah dhalinyarada LGBTQIA+ ayaa la kulmay ismiidaamin sanadkii la soo dhaafay, oo ay ku jiraan 46% oo ah dhalinyarada isbeddelka jinsiga sameeyay iyo kuwa aan jinsiga ahayn"\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c"8% oo ka mid ah shakhsiyaadka LGBTQIA+ & ku dhawaad 27% oo ka mid ah shakhsiyaadka isbeddelka jinsiga sameeyay ayaa soo sheegaya in loo diiday daryeelka caafimaad ee loo baahan yahay"\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c"50% oo ah dhalinyarada LGBTQIA+ ee doonayay daryeelka caafimaadka dhimirka sannadkii la soo dhaafay ma aysan heli karin"\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c"66% oo ka mid ah dhalinyarada LGBTQIA+ ayaa soo sheegay inay la kulmeen astaamo walaac"\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c"53% oo ka mid ah dhalinyarada LGBTQIA+ ayaa sheegay inay la kulmeen astaamaha niyad-jabka"\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c"Shaqsiyaadka ballanta caafimaadka dhimirka ee 40% LGBTIA+ waxay ahayd inay sugaan bil ama ka badan"\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helitaanka goobaha xaqiijinta LGBTQIA+ runtii waxay samayn kartaa farqi. Dadka da' kasta leh ee bulshada LGBTQIA+ waxay ka faa'iidaystaan inay dareemaan in la arkay, la ixtiraamay, iyo ammaan. Taageeradani waxay u ekaan kartaa helitaanka dharka xaqiijinta jinsiga, musqulaha dhexdhexaadka ah ee jinsiga, luqadda loo dhan yahay, iyo lahaanshaha aqoonsiga iyo magac-u-yaalka lagu sharfo guriga, shaqada, dugsiga, iyo daryeelka caafimaadka. Waxyaabahani waxay u ekaan karaan kuwo yar dadka qaar, laakiin xogtu waxay muujinaysaa inay saameyn weyn ku yeelan karaan caafimaadka dhimirka iyo fayoobaanta guud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In la dareemo kalsoonidu ma aha oo kaliya wax fiican, waa lagama maarmaan. Waa muhiim inaan sii wadno inaan u soo bandhigno bulshada LGBTQIA+ annagoo sii wadna waxbarashada, dhegeysanayna naxariis, iyo ka hadalka caddaalad darrada. Qof kastaa wuxuu mudan yahay daryeel iyo xaqa uu u leeyahay inuu noqdo naftiisa dhabta ah isagoon cabsi qabin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marka aad raadinayso bixiyeyaasha, waxaa runtii muhiim noqon karta in la helo kuwa xaqiijinaya, sida kuwa leh takhasusyada LGBTQIA+, kuwa isticmaala luqad loo dhan yahay, ama kuwa bixiya adeegyo xaqiijinaya jinsiga. Waa muhiim inaad hesho bixiyeyaasha aad ku qanacsan tahay, halkaas oo aad dareemayso inaad si furan ula wadaagi karto walaacyadaada si faham leh oo aan xukun lahayn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FastTrackerMN waxaan fahamsanahay muhiimadda ay leedahay inaad awood u yeelato inaad hesho bixiye aad ku kalsoonaan karto, qof si dhab ah kuu caawin kara. Markaad raadineyso bixiyeyaasha FastTrackerMN, isticmaal ereyada muhiimka ah ee "LGBTQ+ Providers" iyo "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Su'aal-weydiin, iyo Allied." Waxaan rabnaa inaan kuu fududeyno sida ugu macquulsan inaad hesho ku habboonaanta saxda ah. Waxaan sidoo kale kugula talineynaa inaad eegto taariikh nololeedka astaamaha bixiyeyaasha shaqsiga ah si aad u aragto haddii aad u malaynayso inay noqon doonaan ku habboonaan shaqsiyeed oo wanaagsan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haddii aad la kulanto bixiye oo aadan dareemin inay yihiin kuwa ku habboon, ha ka baqin inaad beddesho. Waa muhiim inaad dareento in la maqlay oo la ixtiraamo inta lagu jiro ballanta. Waxaad mudan tahay daryeel ku arka, ku taageera, oo xaqiijinaya qofka aad tahay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marka la taageerayo qof aad jeceshahay oo LGBTQIA+ ah, had iyo jeer waxay ka bilaabataa dhegeysiga iyada oo aan la xukumin. Waa muhiim inaad noqoto qof ay kala hadli karaan arrimaha caafimaadka dhimirka ama daryeelka caafimaadka. Dadka waaweyn ee LGBTQIA+ waxay labanlaab u badan yihiin dadka waaweyn ee aan LGBTQIA+ ahayn inay soo sheegaan waayo-aragnimo xun inta ay helayaan daryeelka caafimaadka (KFF, 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saaxiib ahaan, waa muhiim inaad naftaada wax barato oo aad barato arrimaha aasaasiga ah ee LGBTQIA+ iyo walaacyada. Waxaa jira ilo badan oo khadka tooska ah. Haddii qof aad jeceshahay uu dhibtoonayo, weydii sida ugu wanaagsan ee aad u taageeri karto. Soo gal oo ha ku hago. Qaar ka mid ah siyaabaha aad ku imaan karto ama aad ku bixin karto taageero waxaa ka mid ah ka qaybgalka ballanta taageerada shucuureed iyo u doodista, ama ka caawinta hawlaha sida helitaanka bixiyeyaasha caafimaadka dhimirka ee LGBTQIA+ ee saaxiibtinimo leh, buuxinta foomamka, ama xitaa sameynta wicitaan. Waxyaabahaasi waxay dareemi karaan culeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hubi inaad si joogto ah ula xiriirto kuwa aad jeceshahay. Caafimaadka dhimirka waxaa saameyn ku yeelan kara walbahaarka daryeelka caafimaadka, sidaa darteed hubinta yar yar ayaa muhiim ah inta ay ku guda jiraan daryeelka. Si miyir leh u dhiirrigeli oo xaqiiji xooggooda ku aaddan u doodista naftooda iyo hagitaanka nidaam aan had iyo jeer loogu talagalin. Oo xasuuso inaad sidoo kale u dabaaldegto guulaha, ha ahaato mid weyn ama mid yar. U doodista naftooda, soo bandhigidda daaweynta, ama dejinta xuduudaha waa arrin weyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waqti u qaadashada inaad ku raaxaysato bulshadaada, la xiriirto dadka kale, iyo inaad sameyso waxyaabaha aad jeceshahay waa qayb muhiim ah oo ka mid ah daryeelka caafimaadkaaga maskaxda.
