Figures & data

Table 1. Age and sexual orientation of cis and trans participants

		Cis	Trans
Age		30.57 (12.11)	27.00 (10.37)	t(1182.84) = 11.48, p = .000

df: degrees of freedom; superscript letters (a,b) are used to denote differences between groups at the level p < .05; age reported as: mean (standard deviation).

	Heterosexual	28.6% (93)^a	9.4% (76)^b
	Homosexual	16.9% (55)^a	12.7% (103)^a
	Other	10.2% (33)^a	19.5% (221)^b
	Missing	10.8% (35)	14.2% (115)

df: degrees of freedom; superscript letters (a,b) are used to denote differences between groups at the level p < .05; age reported as: mean (standard deviation).

Table 3. Age and sexual orientation of assigned female at birth and assigned male at birth subgroups of trans participants

		AMAB	AFAB
Age		27.98 (11.14)	25.99 (9.44)	t(1088.46) = 3.23, p = .001
Sexual orientation	Bisexual	32.7% (183)^a	38.7% (218)^b	X^2 = 9.28, df = 4; p = .054
	Heterosexual	16.5% (92)^a	13.5% (76)^a
	Homosexual	14.8% (83)^a	13.3.% (75)^a
	Other	20.8% (116)^a	23.4% (132)^a
	Missing	15.2% (85)	11.2% (63)

df: degrees of freedom; superscript letters (a,b) are used to denote differences between groups at the level p < .05; age reported as: mean (standard deviation); AMAB: assigned male at birth; AFAB: assigned female at birth.

Table 4. A comparison of trans and cis respondents’ experiences of being taken advantage of sexually while under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs

		Trans n = 1,136	Cis n = 74,277	Likelihood-ratio Χ^2
Have you ever been taken advantage of sexually while using alcohol and/or other drugs?	Never	747 (65.8%)^a	60,526 (81.5%)^b	Χ^2 = 159.23, df = 2; p = .000
	Yes, in the last 12 months	106 (9.3%)^a	3,142 (4.2%)^b
	Yes, more than 12 months ago	283 (24.9%)^a	10,609 (14.3%)^b
		n = 84	n = 2,157
How many times, in the last 12 months, have you been taken advantage of sexually while under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs?	Once	47 (56.0%)^a	1,153 (53.5%)^a	Χ^2 = 0.21, df = 2; p = .899
	Twice	18 (21.4%)^a	480 (22.3%)^a
	Three or more times	19 (22.6%)^a	524 (24.3%)^a

df: degrees of freedom; each superscript letter (a,b) indicates a group which differs significantly from any group not denoted with the same superscript letter, at the level p < .05, e.g. trans and cis participants did not differ on response options “once”, “twice” or “three or more times”.

Table 5. A comparison of subgroups of trans respondents’ experiences of being taken advantage of sexually while under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs

		AMAB (n = 559)	AFAB (n = 564)	Likelihood-ratio Χ^2	Binary identity (n = 325)	Non-binary identity (n = 811)	Likelihood-ratio Χ^2
Have you ever been taken advantage of sexually while using alcohol and/or other drugs?	Never	399 (71.4%)^a	339 (60.1%)^b	Χ^2 = 17.77, df = 2; p = .000	239 (73.5%)^a	508 (62.6%)^b	Χ^2 = 14.11, df = 2; p = .001
	Yes, in the last 12 months	50 (8.9%)^a	56 (9.9%)^a		28 (8.6%)^a	78 (9.6%)^a
	Yes, more than 12 months ago	110 (19.7%)^a	169 (30.0%)^b		58 (17.8%)^a	225 (27.7%)^b

df: degrees of freedom; superscript letters (a,b) are used to denote differences between groups. Transfeminine participants were only compared with transmasculine participants and binary participants were only compared with non-binary participants. Where superscript letters differ, there is a significant difference at the level p < .05; AMAB: assigned male at birth; AFAB: assigned female at birth.
