An example of identity abuse is exploitation of internalized homophobia. Identity abuse is a form of mistreatment where the abuser exploits aspects of a victim's identity, such as their sexual orientation, to assert control, cause harm, or demean the victim.
In the context of homophobia, which is prejudice and discrimination against individuals based on their sexual orientation, the exploitation of internalized homophobia refers to manipulating the victim's internalization of society's negative views and hatred of non-heterosexual orientations. This kind of abuse could involve shaming individuals for their sexuality or leveraging their fears of coming out against them.
