Introduzione
Il presente volume nasce dalla sinergia tra associazioni, istituzioni e ONG sviluppata nell’ambito della XVII settimana d’azione contro i razzismi, organizzata dall’Ufficio Nazionale Antidiscriminazioni della Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri. Nel testo sono riportate le trascrizioni delle relazioni tenute da docenti, militanti e practitioners che si occupano di richieste di protezione internazionale per motivi di identità sessuale durante il Convegno “I Have a Dream – Studi e strumenti per il lavoro con migranti LGBTI”.
La prima sezione raccoglie gli interventi delle istituzioni a vari livelli e delle organizzazioni non governative, dalla Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri, alla Regione, fino al Comune e dell’Alto Commissariato delle Nazioni Unite per i Rifugiati. Gli interventi sono intervallati da commenti e riflessioni critiche.
La seconda sezione contiene gli studi e le ricerche sul tema delle migrazioni queer in vari settori scientifico-disciplinari, dal- la sociologia, all’antropologia al diritto. Pur affrontando il tema prevalentemente in relazione alle migrazioni forzate, quindi alle richieste di asilo, sono riportati anche i risultati di riflessioni teoriche ed evidenze empiriche su migranti di prima e seconda generazione, non necessariamente asilanti o rifugiati. Ogni saggio breve è corredato da quattro testi di riferimento bibliografico.
Nella terza sezione sono riportate le relazioni di persone migranti LGBTIQ attiviste e di figure professionali che lavorano negli sportelli per richiedenti la protezione internazionale per motivi SOGIGESC
Masculine Capital, Homophobia and Homoerotism
Masculinity is a constantly changing collection of norms and meanings embedded in gender relations between men and women, and among men (Kimmel, 2005). Masculinity is composed of many masculinities, always struggling for power and dominance in inter- and intra-gender relations. In every society there is a hierarchy of masculinities with versions of being a man that are encouraged and others that are forbidden. Masculinity varies across time and cultures, and also different versions of masculinity can coexist within the same group. Masculinity is created through discourses and repeated performances in eeryday life, and as a social construct, it is always subject to change. Masculinity is something that men have to achieve through performances. Men construct their gender identities through tests and rites of passage to the "man's world", through the demonstration of male achievements such as the ability to protect and provide resources for the household (Gutmann, 1997; Borneman, 2010). These gender performances are usually part of male sociability in which a mans has to "become a man" through the rejection of the feminine world and homosexual practices. Hence, masculinity is constructed through the rejection of femininity and homosexual practices. Young men have to constantly demonstrate that they embrace "proper boyhood" through cultural resources such as social relations, sexual performances, humor, vioence, and physicality (Mannien et al., 2011). Boys and men come to know what it means to be a man in a particular culture by setting definintions in opposition to a set of others: racial minorities, sexual minorities, and above all, women (Kimmel, 2005)
Minority stress in transgender people: A moderated mediation model of stigma, internalized transphobia, resilience, and health
Introduction: Transgender people often experience stigma because of their gender nonconformity, and this might negatively affect their mental health through internalized transphobia. The ability of coping with stigma depends on protective factors, such as resilience, which might reduce the detrimental effect of stigma on mental health. This study was aimed at applied, as an extension of the Minority Stress Perspective (MSP), the Psychological Mediation Framework (PMF) to a sample of Italian transgender people.
Method: This study assessed different hypotheses based both on MSP and PMF. The main hypothesis concerns a moderated mediation model in which the indirect effect of anti-transgender discrimination on mental health through shame and alienation as indicators of internalized transphobia was hypothesized as being moderated by resilience. All the study’s hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling.
Results: The results suggest that alienation mediated the relationship between anti-transgender discrimination and both anxiety and depression, bs = .91 and .60, 95% C.I.s [.17, 2.28] and [.08, 1.56], respectively, whereas shame operated as a mediator of the relationship between anti-transgender discrimination and depression, b = .55, 95% C.I. [.08, 1.55]. Additionally, only one significant moderated indirect effect was found, ω = -.70, 95% C.I. [-1.60, -.14], indicating that the indirect relation of anti-transgender discrimination with anxiety through alienation was conditional on low and moderate levels of resilience, bs = 1.73 and .96, 95% C.I.s [.54, 3.60] and [.22, 2.33].
Conclusion: The moderated-mediation model sheds light on psychological processes that lead both anti-transgender discrimination to affect mental health and protective factors to alleviate the negative effect of stigma on mental health. This model has important implications for clinical practice and psycho-social interventions to reduce stigma and stress

Letter from A.L. Monmerqué de Courmont, possibly Adélaïde Louise de Monmerqué (1767-1835) who had been married to Louis Marie Le Bas de Courmont (1741-1794), dated 10 pluvoise. It is not addressed but was presumably sent to Philippe-Antoine Merlin, as it comprises the verso of one of his requisitions from 1802.
