Abstract
Sexual minority youth are at higher risk for victimization than their heterosexual counterparts. Gender nonconformity is also associated with higher levels of victimization. It's unclear how factors such as gender expression may contribute to victimization in LGB girls. This study examines the associations between sexual orientation, gender expression, and victimization.
