Development and psychometric evaluation of the transgender and nonbinary People of Color Resilience Scale
Alcohol and cannabis use in relation to daily marginalization in transgender individuals
As part of a larger study on minority stress with transgender and gender diverse (TGD) participants, this daily diary study explored associations between daily marginalization and gender non-affirmation with alcohol and cannabis use, as well as general and TGD-specific coping motives for use. We examined the mediating effects of general (e.g., rumination) and identity-specific (e.g., internalized stigma) processes that may help explain how stigma…
Transforming Queer Mixed Methods Research to be Trans and Nonbinary-Inclusive
This paper describes an aspect of a larger research project using mixed methods to develop a transgender resilience measure. We highlight how our approach “queers” mixed methods research. We center transgender and nonbinary (TNB) voices throughout our research process, disrupting conventional scale development methods and ultimately (trans)forming traditional conceptualizations of resilience, which emphasize individual recovery from adversity. Hi…
The experience of misgendering among transgender and gender diverse people
Misgendering is a common and distressing experience for many transgender (trans) and gender diverse people. Although existing research (e.g., McLemore, 2015, 2018) suggests that being misgendered is negatively associated with mental health, the empirical literature on misgendering is currently nascent. In the present study, we examined how trans and gender diverse people experienced and negotiated being misgendered. Guided by a constructivist gro…
Transgender and Nonbinary People's Perceptions of Their State Context, Gender Minority Stress, and Mental Health
Transgender and nonbinary (TNB) people experience gender minority stressors that adversely affect their mental health and wellbeing, all of which are shaped by sociopolitical contexts. We explored TNB participants' ( N = 150) perceptions of how affirming their state was and associations with minority stress and mental health variables. Qualitative themes included: (1) Degrees of stigma depend on who you are; (2) Stigma persists even with small po…
Mental health, coping, and resilience among transgender and gender diverse people during the 2020 U.S. presidential election
Sexual orientation and gender diversity research manuscript writing guide
Research on 2SLGBTQIA+ people is relatively new and often marginalized within the field, which can make it hard for researchers to learn how to do this research. We thus wrote this article as a way to provide support and direction for researchers, mentors, reviewers, and journal editors. Rather than providing hard-and-fast rules for how to write about 2SLGBTQIA+ topics, we hope to encourage researchers to be thoughtful and to ensure they keep the…
Legal Gender Affirmation, Psychological Distress, and Physical Health Issues
Balancing Community and Research Needs in Gender Measurement Decisions
An Examination of Predictors of Prejudice Against Transgender Individuals
We examined associations between prejudice toward transgender people, aggression proneness, history of family violence, contact and closeness with transgender people, and education about issues that impact transgender individuals. We also examined the moderating effects of contact, education, and closeness on the relations between aggression and history of family violence with prejudice. There were 360 participants (M age = 31.34, SD = 12.47, ran…
Community (dis)connectedness and identity among LGBTQIA+ people during the Covid-19 pandemic
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and associated shelter-in-place ordinances passed in the first year of the pandemic rapidly limited access to in-person social interactions, raising concerns of diminishing social support and community cohesion while psychological stressors increased. For LGBTQIA+ people, connectedness to the LGBTQIA+ community is known to buffer against the harmful effects of stressors and decrease risks for poor …
Mental health and marginalization stress in transgender and gender diverse adults
We demonstrate that marginalization stress processes appear to account for some of the differences between TGD individuals living in urban, rural, and urban cluster areas. The differences between areas largely persist, however, after controlling for marginalization stress, especially when comparing urban with urban cluster areas

Transgender and gender diverse individuals’ daily experiences of rumination
15 responses). Using an experiential framework and an inductive approach to thematic analysis, we generated the following themes: (a) interpersonal relationships as a site of struggle, (b) fear and worry in response to contextual factors, (c) the weight of basic needs and safety, (d) gender as experienced through self and others, (e) intersections of health and rumination, and (f) the occasional reprieve. Using a deductive approach, we also place…
A systematic review of sexuality measurement in transgender and gender diverse populations
Gender variations, generational effects, and mental health of transgender people in relation to timing and status of gender identity milestones
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people commonly report the following gender identity milestones: feeling different about their gender than expectations for their sex assigned at birth, identifying as TGD, living in their affirmed gender, and, for some, accessing gender-affirming medical care. We explored the average ages of reaching these milestones and variations across gender groups and generational cohorts. We also examined how gender gro…
Psychometric Evaluation of the Transgender Congruence Scale
The Impact of the 2016 US Presidential Elections on Transgender and Gender Diverse People
The Association between Social Dominance Orientation, Critical Consciousness, and Gender Minority Stigma
Transgender people are exposed to great amounts of discrimination and violence, but research has yet to fully understand what drives stigma towards this community. In this study, we hypothesized that social dominance orientation would be associated with greater gender minority stigma (i.e., stigmatizing views of transgender people), with this association mediated by higher levels of trait aggression and lower levels of critical consciousness. Dat…
Mental health and resilience in transgender individuals

Sexuality and gender affirmation in transgender men who have sex with cisgender men
Background: Transgender men who have sex with men (trans MSM) are underrepresented in the behavioral and social sciences literature, especially in research concerning sexual health. The available literature indicates that, in relation to gender affirmation (sometimes called “transition”), some trans men may experience shifts in their sexual attractions and the identity labels that they use to describe their sexual orientation. Most commonly, this…
An Investigation of Religion and Spirituality of Sexual Minorities in the United States
We investigated how sexual minority participants in the United States (N = 217; M age = 36.36 years) viewed organized religion and their relationships with a higher power. In addition, we examined the associations between levels of outness in religious communities, internalized heterosexism (IH), intrinsic religiosity, and depression. Open-ended responses revealed that views of organized religion fell into three categories—negative (57.9%), posit…
Trajectories of Internalized Heterosexism among Young Men Who have Sex with Men
Barriers to Gender-Affirming Care for Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Individuals
Internalized transphobia
Background: Transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) individuals encounter a variety of minority stressors that have yet to be fully articulated or explored within the research literature. The purpose of this study is to better understand internalized stigma—the experience of accepting and internalizing negative social messages and experiences about one's identity—an underexplored minority stressor for TGNC people.Method: We conducted in-depth…

The Effects of Cumulative Victimization on Mental Health Among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Adolescents and Young Adults
Objectives. To examine the effects of the cumulative victimization experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youths on mental disorders. Methods. We recruited 248 participants from the Chicago, Illinois, area in 7 waves of data collected over 4 years, beginning in 2007 (83.1% retention rate). Mean age at enrollment was 18.7 years, and 54.7% were Black. We measured depression and posttraumatic stress disorder using structured psychiat…
Predictors of Sexual Minority Youth's Reported Suicide Attempts and Mental Health
Lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth (LGBY) report higher rates of mental health concerns compared to heterosexual youth due to minority stressors. This study examined the interpersonal and intrapersonal variables that predict psychological distress and self-reported suicide attempts in a sample of 61 LGBY in the Mid-South, which is a highly overlooked regional area for LGBY research. Youth who lost friends when coming out were 29 times more likely t…

Internalized Homophobia and Perceived Stigma
The Impact of Victimization and Neuroticism on Mental Health in Young Men Who Have Sex with Men
Differences Across Contexts
Minority stressors encountered by lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) women are inherently connected to contextual experiences. Although there is a growing body of research on the benefits of gaining political rights and the costs of their denial, little research has focused on the effects of access to LGB-affirmative resources. In the current study with 1,017 women in same-sex relationships, we created profiles using latent class analysis to charac…

Relations between gender expression, minority stress, and mental health in cisgender sexual minority women and men

Identity concealment in transgender adults
Minority individuals might conceal their identity in social contexts in an effort to avoid stigma and victimization. Unfortunately, identity concealment is thought to impact psychological distress in transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) individuals. Thus, through 30 in-depth interviews, we sought to understand if and how identity concealment was experienced by TGNC individuals. Findings indicated that (a) TGNC identity concealment is a sou…
