A groundbreaking overview of transgender relationship violence In the course of their lives, around fifty percent of transgender people will experience intimate partner violence in their relationships; including psychological, physical, or sexual abuse. In Transgender Intimate Partner Violence, Adam M. Messinger and Xavier L. Guadalupe-Diaz bring together a diverse group of scholars, service providers, activists, and others to examine this widespread problem, shedding light on the often-hidden experiences of transgender survivors.

Managing and cultivating healthy positive relationships is a complex multi-faceted endeavor requiring setting and respecting boundaries, reciprocated empathy, open communication and "earned" trust. Unfortunately, some people find themselves in abusive intimate relationships which do not offer them (in part or in whole) a nurturing or safe environment. Over time those who stay with an abusive partner (who is unwilling to change their behaviors) find themselves stuck in the cycle of domestic abuse as they hold out hope and long for the person whom they fell in love to magically reappear. Unfortunately that is an illusive dream that often turns into a living nightmare as the frequency and intensity of the abuse only escalates over time - which for many victims of domestic abuse ends in tragedy.
