Abstract

The growing transgender community in Vietnam presents many problems for society, and many people still have negative attitudes toward this minority group. Currently, in Vietnam, there is no reliable scale to assess community attitudes towards transgender people. Therefore, we validated the Genderism and Transphobia Scales Short Form (GTS-R-SF) on 197 students studying at the Hanoi Medical University. In addition, we conducted a multivariate logistic regression analysis to evaluate factors related to stigma and violent attitudes toward transgender people. The results show that the GTS-R-SF scale has high internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.925. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) indicated the sample had an acceptable fit to the two-factor model. Reliability and test reliability analysis showed that the internal consistency of the GTS-R-SF and the two subfactors were good. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that being male and having friends from the LGBT community are related to gender discrimination and violent tendencies against transgender people. This research is necessary to ensure equality for the LGBT community in general and transgender people in particular
