Understanding factors that affect wellbeing in trans people “later” in transition: A qualitative study
The results highlight the importance of social support, protective legislations, awareness of trans issues in the general public, and the need of improving the knowledge held by non-specialist healthcare providers
Identifying coping strategies used by patients at a transgender health clinic through analysis of free‐text autobiographical narratives
BACKGROUND: This paper presents an analysis of 32 narratives written by patients waiting for assessment at a transgender health clinic (THC) in England. Narratives are autobiographical free texts, designed to allow patients to describe in their own words their experiences of their gender identity and/or transition prior to a clinic appointment, as part of the assessment process. OBJECTIVE: Narratives were analysed to identify actions prospective …

Mental health and quality of life in non-binary transgender adults: A case control study
Background: The social challenges that non-binary people experience, due in part to social intolerance and the lack of validation of non-binary gender identities, may affect the mental health and quality of life of this population. However, studies that have distinguished between non-binary and binary transgender identities are lacking. Aim: To compare the mental health and quality of life of a community sample of non-binary transgender adults wi…
Gender congruence and body satisfaction in nonbinary transgender people: A case control study
Background: Binary transgender people access gender affirming medical interventions to alleviate gender incongruence and increase body satisfaction. Despite the increase in nonbinary transgender people, this population are less likely to access transgender health services compared to binary transgender people. No research has yet understood why by exploring levels of gender congruence and body satisfaction in nonbinary transgender people. Objecti…

The Gender Congruence and Life Satisfaction Scale (GCLS): Development and validation of a scale to measure outcomes from transgender health services
Background: It is vital that the treatment offered at transgender health services can be evaluated to ensure a high quality of care. However, the tools currently used to evaluate treatment at transgender health services are limited by mainly focusing on mental health or because they have been developed for binary transgender people only. This study therefore aimed to develop and validate a tool that addresses these limitations. The Gender Congrue…

It considers theoretical, research, practice, and activist perspectives; and outlines a basis for good practice when working with non-binary individuals. \n \nThe first section provides an overview of historical, legal and academic aspects of this phenomenon. The second section explores how psychotherapeutic, p…

Genderqueer and Non-Binary Genders (Critical and Applied Approaches in Sexuality, Gender and Identity)
Barriers and facilitators of physical activity and sport participation among young transgender adults who are medically transitioning
Background: Transgender people (those who feel incongruence between the gender they were assigned at birth and their gender identity) engage in lower levels of physical activity compared to cisgender (non-transgender) people. Several factors have been shown to affect physical activity engagement in the cisgender population; however, the physical activity experiences of young transgender adults have not been explored. It is therefore the aim of th…

Non-binary or genderqueer genders
Some people have a gender which is neither male nor female and may identify as both male and female at one time, as different genders at different times, as no gender at all, or dispute the very idea of only two genders. The umbrella terms for such genders are 'genderqueer' or 'non-binary' genders. Such gender identities outside of the binary of female and male are increasingly being recognized in legal, medical and psychological systems and diag…

Transgender and anxiety: A comparative study between transgender people and the general population
Background: Anxiety disorders pose serious public health problems. The data available on anxiety disorders in the transgender population is limited by the small numbers, the lack of a matched controlled population and the selection of a nonhomogenous group of transgender people.Aims: The aims of the study were (1) to determine anxiety symptomatology (based on the HADS) in a nontreated transgender population and to compare it to a general populati…
Self-injury among trans individuals and matched controls: Prevalence and associated factors
This study aims to determine the prevalence rate of current non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among trans individuals, in comparison with a control sample of non-trans adults. It also aims to compare those with current NSSI and those with no history of NSSI in terms of psychological well-being, self-esteem, body dissatisfaction, social support and demographic factors. Participants were 97 adults, diagnosed with transsexualism (ICD-10, F64.0), atten…
World Professional Association for Transgender Health Consensus Statement on Considerations of the Role of Distress (Criterion D) in the DSM Diagnosis of Gender Identity Disorder
This article explains the report from the work group of WPATH charged to consider whether a diagnosis for gender identity disorder should be included in the revised DSM; whether distress is inherent, a result of social stigma, or both; and what the implications of this are for the diagnosis in the revised DSM. Suggestions are made to remove gender identity disorder from the next revision of DSM and to find a place in the nonmental disorder sectio…
