When participation meets protection: The generative failure of a photovoice with trans youth in care
This article examines the “generative failure” of a “Photovoice” project conducted with transgender youth in Quebec’s child protection system—the first study of its kind in this context. Although initially designed as a six-phase participatory action research model, the project had to be reoriented toward individual qualitative interviews and photo elicitation due to significant institutional, technical, and ethical barriers. Drawing on trans-aff…
Regards cliniques sur la détransition, la désistance et les parcours de transition interrompus chez les jeunes
Les parcours de détransition, désistance ou discontinuation (D*) chez les jeunes trans et non binaires (TNB) suscitent un intérêt croissant des médias, des politiques et du milieu scientifique. Bien que peu étudié, ce phénomène alimente de vifs débats, ciblant notamment les professionnel·le·s en santé trans qui accompagnent les jeunes TNB, souvent accusé·e·s de favoriser ces parcours par des « diagnostics erronés » ou des interventions précipitée…

Growing up trans: The influence of gender-affirming medical care on the well-being of transgender youth in Quebec
This study explores how gender-affirming medical care’s (GAMC) impact on well-being is perceived by trans and non-binary youth (TNBY) living in Quebec as well as by their families. GAMC, including puberty blockers and hormone therapy, can alleviate the distress associated to gender dysphoria, enhance quality of life and foster self-acceptance but research rarely examine how it is perceived by youth and their family while also acknowledging the im…

Gender-based analysis of medical and aesthetic intervention needs and priorities of trans and non-binary people in Québec, Canada
This study explored gender-specific needs and priorities in gender-affirming care among trans and non-binary (TNB) people in Québec, Canada. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire distributed through organizations working with TNB people. This questionnaire included questions on four categories of gender-affirming interventions (hormonal interventions, facial interventions, upper/lower body interventions, and genital interven…
Narratives as mirrors and doors: A multiple-method pilot evaluation of an online, family-level intervention for families with transgender and/or nonbinary youth
Transgender and/or nonbinary (TNB) youth experience substantial stigma and discrimination in comparison to cisgender peers. While family support can buffer negative psychological effects of stigma and discrimination, TNB youth experience lower levels of family support. Family-level and narrative-based interventions are understudied strategies for addressing this challenge. We conducted a pilot test of the feasibility and acceptability of the Tran…
Coalition and Multi-Positionality Research Teams: A Nuanced Approach for Anti-Oppressive Research
This article delves into the typically unexamined complexities of conducting research with vulnerable populations, specifically focusing on trans and gender-diverse children and youth. While ethical guidelines exist, there are persistent knowledge gaps in genuinely collaborative research practices with vulnerable populations. Using collaborative autoethnographic methodology, the study draws on the narratives and reflexive accounts of four researc…
A Latent Class Analysis of Interrupted Gender Transitions and Detransitions in the USA and Canada
Media discourse in Canada on trans youth and parent advocacy
News reporting on transgender youth between 2011 and 2019 in Canada is increasingly affirming of transgender identities, experiences, and needs. These news stories are also increasingly initiated by parent/caregiver advocates of trans youth. We trace the recent history of news coverage of transgender youth to provide for the first time a history of parent advocacy as a social movement in Canada. This movement began in urban centres by cis, white,…
They’re Unable to See my Decision to Detransition for What it is: How Detrans Youth Perceive and Receive Discourses on Detransition
Gender-Related Medical Experiences of Youth Who Have Detranstioned
People whose gender does not align with their sex assigned at birth can undergo a medical transition process, so their body reflects their gender. However, some people interrupt this process temporarily or permanently, which is often referred to as "detransition." Media coverage of detrans experiences tend to attribute this phenomenon to a lack of medical gatekeeping. However, research has shown detransitions are highly unpredictable. The aim of …
Families with more than one trans person: Investments and divestments in cisnormativity
ObjectiveTo examine how having more than one trans person in a family facilitates investments in or divestments from cisnormativity.BackgroundWhile there is now a robust body of literature on trans people's experiences with cisgender family members and vice versa, largely missing has been a focus on families where more than one person in the family is trans.MethodThis paper focuses on a subsample of 10 families from a large international qualitat…
Experiences of cisgender youth with a transgender and/or nonbinary sibling
While recent research has begun to address the effects of family support on transgender and/or nonbinary youth (TNY), almost no studies have directly examined how cisgender siblings in families with TNY navigate their sibling's gender disclosure and affirmation within both their families and their larger communities. We conducted an exploratory secondary analysis of in‐person, semi‐structured interviews with 15 adolescent and young adult siblings…
La mise en discours de la détransition sur Twitter (2017–2020)
Contexte : La détransition est comprise comme l’interruption ou le renversement d’une transition de genre. Les discours de détransition sur Twitter forment des « cadres interprétatifs » publics qui influencent le sens de la détransition et de la transition de genre. Analyses : À partir d’un corpus de 10 628 tweets, l’analyse qualitative des 2 396 tweets les plus visibles révèle trois cadres dominants traversés par l’idéologie gender-critical : (1…
It just feels really nice when people call me by my name: Accounts of gender euphoria among Australian trans young people and their parents
Gender euphoria refers to positive internal feelings of joy related to gender, and external affirmation when recognized as one’s gender. Euphoria can be an important counter to experiences of gender dysphoria for many trans people. Due to an often damage-centred approach to understanding trans people’s lives, gender euphoria remains an under-researched topic, particularly with trans young people. This paper aims to address this gap by exploring t…
Dealing With Scam in Online Qualitative Research: Strategies and Ethical Considerations
In the wake of COVID-19, numerous research projects moved to online data collection to comply with public health guidelines. Since then, many qualitative projects have continued to use online methods to collect data. While online methods facilitated research continuity, they also introduced new opportunities for deceptive behaviors, particularly misrepresentation and multiple participation. Drawing from a recent project that conducted online inte…
Understanding the experiences of youth who have discontinued a gender transition: Provider perspectives
Regards sur les difficultés vécues lors de la transition chez les jeunes ayant détransitionné
Les caractéristiques propres aux parcours des jeunes qui détransitionnent (qui choisissent de discontinuer leur transition de genre) demeurent encore peu connues à ce jour. En outre, dans les dernières années, plusieurs études se sont intéressées aux difficultés vécues par les jeunes durant leur transition (médicale, sociale et/ou légale). Cependant, encore peu de recherches ont cherché à mettre en relief les défis propres aux parcours des jeunes…

Jeunes trans et non binaires en protection de la jeunesse: Portrait de la situation au Québec
Les jeunes trans et non binaires forment une population que l’on sait à risque de vivre des situations de discrimination et de violence et à très haut risque de vivre de la négligence parentale. Les quelques recherches disponibles sur leur expérience en protection de la jeunesse montrent que ces jeunes sont souvent forcé·e·s de vivre dans un genre qui ne leur convient pas et de subir de la discrimination à même ces milieux. L’article présente les…
Entreprendre une démarche décoloniale et antiraciste à l’université et en travail social: L’exemple d’une recherche-action au Québec pour construire une formation contre le racisme
Dans un contexte social intense en 2020, dû notamment aux manifestations antiracistes suite au décès par étouffement de George Floyd, pour lequel un policier a été condamné aux États-Unis, durant la pandémie du COVID-19, quelques professeur.e.s ont entrepris une démarche pour écouter les personnes noires de l’École de travail social, entre autres, sur les effets de résonance ressentis. Suite à cette action, un comité statutaire a été voté (le com…
« Mon identité est enracinée dans ma pratique spirituelle »: Quand les jeunes trans et non binaires « queerisent » la spiritualité au Québec
Être trans et/ou non binaire (TNB) et croyant·e peut sembler incompatible aux vues des messages religieux souvent négatifs à l’égard des minorités sexuelles et de genre. Pourtant, la religion/spiritualité (R/S) semble répandue dans la population TNB (Salazar, 2017). Les études montrent que si la religion peut entrer en conflit avec les identités LGBTQ+, elle est aussi source de résilience. Cependant, peu d’études se sont penchées spécifiquement s…
School Factors Strongly Impact Transgender and Non-Binary Youths’ Well-Being

Regards croisés de jeunes trans et de leurs parents sur la transition médicale au Canada: Quel Impact Sur L’épanouissement Des Jeunes
The past decade has witnessed significant change in medical care for trans youth. A well-established pathologizing approach focused on asserting a young person’s assigned gender has been challenged by a growing number of experts who favour a model that supports gender exploration (e.g., by providing access to hormonal treatments and puberty blockers). Based on interviews with 36 parent-youth dyads (72 interviews in total), this article explores t…
Social work and macro-economic neoliberalism: Beyond the social justice rhetoric
Macro-economic policy shapes and structures social welfare policy, services, and their implementation. As a result, the commoditisation of social welfare services and the use of markets as well as private sector management philosophies and tools have colonised and fashioned the design, provision and implementation of social welfare policy and structures. The impact has been far reaching, from limiting social welfare responses of elected democrati…
Digging beneath the surface: Results from stage one of a qualitative analysis of factors influencing the well-being of trans youth in Quebec
Background : The literature on trans youth has been dominated by etiological studies interested in trans experience as a medical phenomenon. An emerging body of literature has begun to document that trans youth are a diverse, vulnerable, yet resilient population, and to investigate the role of various sites of support such as the family, peer groups, institutions, and community spaces in contributing to or impeding trans youth's well-being.

The experiences of gender diverse and trans children and youth considering and initiating medical interventions in Canadian gender-affirming speciality clinics
Background : Canadian specialty clinics offering gender-affirming care to trans and gender diverse children and youth have observed a significant increase in referrals in recent years, but there is a lack of information about the experiences of young people receiving care. Furthermore, treatment protocols governing access to gender-affirming medical interventions remain a topic of debate. Aims: This qualitative research aims to develop a deeper u…
Parents' Journeys to Acceptance and Support of Gender-diverse and Trans Children and Youth
Over the past 5 years in Canada, clinicians have observed an increasing number of gender-diverse and trans children and youth (GDTCY) accessing clinics for gender-affirming care. GDTCY who are able to access care are usually accompanied by their families, which provides a unique opportunity to integrate them into the treatment team. GDTCY have better health and social outcomes when strongly supported by their parents/caregivers. To optimize young…
Lessons from a community-based participatory research study with transgender and gender nonconforming youth and their families
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) involves community members collaborating with academic investigators in each step of the research process.

Expanding and improving trans affirming care in Australia: Experiences With Healthcare Professionals Among Transgender Young People and Their Parents
Access to medical care is significant for many transgender young people and their families, which involves interactions with healthcare professionals. While a trans affirming model is used across Australian paediatric gender clinics, this does not automatically mean that all transgender young people and their parents experience the care they receive as affirming. This article considers the experiences and views of transgender young people (aged 1…

Growing up trans in Canada, Switzerland, England, and Australia: Access to and impacts of gender-affirming medical care
Trans and non-binary youth (TNBY) face high levels of interpersonal and social adversity as well as disproportionate rates of mental health issues such as depression, self-harm and suicidal ideation. Among protective factors, context plays a key role. In addition to parental support, access to gender-affirming medical care begins to emerge as crucial for young people needed them. This paper compares, through thematic analysis, the experiences of …

Au-delà des apparences: Analyse intersectionnelle de vécus de jeunes trans migrants et racisés au Québec
Depuis quelque temps, on observe une prise de conscience publique concernant les enjeux que vivent les personnes trans migrantes et les jeunes trans, surtout au Québec. Néanmoins, il existe très peu de littérature sur le vécu des jeunes trans migrants et racisés. Notre article vise à pallier cette lacune apparente dans les recherches francophones sur les personnes trans migrantes, en particulier chez les jeunes, en présentant les résultats prélim…

Making Interprofessional Working Work: Introducing a Groupwork Perspective
Teams are an established part of organisations and are, by definition, ‘groups’—but the business discourse within which they are conceptualised, and within which teamwork takes place, discounts key aspects of groupwork, essentially related to its values. Hence, we argue, the true potential of teamwork is stifled. This is compounded in relation to interprofessional ‘teams’, by the top-down, prescriptive, policy drivers which have led to their sett…
