BAERE, Felipe de  y  ZANELLO, Valeska. Suicidal behavior in women of diverse sexualities: silenced violence. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2020, vol.32, n.2, pp.335-353. ISSN 0103-5665.  https://doi.org/10.33208/PC1980-5438v0032n02A07.

The suicidal behavior of women has been pointed out as an effect of the diffuse violence suffered by women in the public and private spheres. However, in order not to universalize their psychological suffering, it is necessary to consider other social demarcations that impact their mental health, such as sexuality. The purpose of this study was to analyze the life histories and personal experiences of women of different sexual orientations who manifested suicidal behavior, in order to ascertain the relation of self-extermination with gender dispositifs and sexuality. For this, nine cisgender women, three self-declared lesbians, three self-declared bisexuals, and three self-declared heterosexuals were interviewed. After analyzing the interviews, five categories were found: "Sickening Masculinity", "Aesthetic Ideal" and "Romantic Relationships" were observed in the three sexual orientation groups; "Heterodissidence as Debauchery" was identified in lesbian and bisexual women groups; and the "Caring" category only came up among heterosexual women. In the end, such categories point to similarities and distinctions in the narratives of each sexual orientation group and the impact of gender-based violence, arising out of social misogyny.

Palabras clave : suicide; gender; women; violence.
