Abstract

This study explores how individuals can actively work to discredit identity work. We examine eighteen transgender victims' accounts of intimate partner violence (IPV), providing insight into how abusers undermine victims' constructions of self-concepts. Our findings illustrate two primary strategies of discrediting identity work: altercasting and targeting sign-vehicles, including controlling through props. Empirically examining the accounts of transgender IPV victims' experiences contributes to addressing a serious gap in research on transgender IPV victims, while expanding theoretical understandings of processes of discrediting identity work within the context of abusive intimate relationships.
