Abstract

Background: Gender affirmation is a process by which gender-diverse individuals are supported in their gender identity. Parents are critical in how gender-diverse youth, including Black and Latine transgender/nonbinary youth (BLTY), access various forms of gender affirmation-for example, social and medical transition. Culturally relevant supports are needed to bolster how BLTY and their parents navigate gender affirmation.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore recommendations for aiding BLTY and parents in navigating the youth's gender journey.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents of BLTY, BLTY, and BLT young adults (BLTYAs) recruited from clinics, community organizations, and social media. Interviews focused on gender affirmation and recommendations to promote BLTY's gender affirmation. Primary and secondary analysts coded transcripts using a priori and emergent codes. For this analysis, excerpts pertaining to recommended supports were analyzed to identify themes.

Results: Ten parents of BLTY, 10 BLTY (14-18 years), and 23 BLTYAs (18-30 years) participated. Participants provided recommendations at different socio-ecological levels. On the societal level, participants recommended improvements in media representation of racial and ethnic minority gender-diverse individuals. For organizations, participants recommended more clinicians who shared minoritized identities, clinicians knowledgeable in gender-affirming care, affordability of gender-affirming services, and school-based education regarding gender diversity. On interpersonal/individual levels, they suggested culturally informed peer support among BLTY and parents, including support groups, peer mentors, and camps with individuals who share their minoritized identities.

Conclusions: Participants provided salient insights to supporting gender affirmation of BLTY, which can inform intervention development for BLTY and their families.

关于改善黑人和拉丁变性/非二元青年性别肯定的社区建议。
背景:性别肯定是一个过程,通过这个过程,性别多样化的个人在其性别认同方面得到支持。父母对于包括黑人和拉丁裔变性/非二元青年(BLTY)在内的性别多元化青年如何获得各种形式的性别肯定--例如,社会和医疗过渡--至关重要。需要提供与文化相关的支持,以帮助黑人和拉丁裔变性/非二元青年及其父母了解如何进行性别确认。目的:本研究旨在探讨帮助黑人和拉丁裔变性/非二元青年及其父母了解青年性别历程的建议:对从诊所、社区组织和社交媒体招募的 BLTY、BLTY 和 BLTYA 青少年(BLTYAs)的父母进行了半结构式访谈。访谈的重点是性别平权和促进 BLTY 性别平权的建议。主要分析人员和辅助分析人员使用先验编码和新兴编码对记录誊本进行编码。在本次分析中,对有关建议支持的摘录进行了分析,以确定主题:10 名 BLTY 的父母、10 名 BLTY(14-18 岁)和 23 名 BLTYAs(18-30 岁)参加了此次活动。参与者从不同的社会生态层面提出了建议。在社会层面,参与者建议改进媒体对少数种族和少数族裔性别多元化个人的报道。在机构方面,参与者建议增加与少数群体身份相同的临床医生、了解性别确认护理的临床医生、性别确认服务的可负担性,以及有关性别多样性的校本教育。在人际/个人层面,他们建议在 BLTY 和家长之间提供文化上知情的同侪支持,包括支持小组、同侪导师,以及与具有相同少数群体身份的个人一起参加营地活动:与会者为支持 BLTY 的性别平权提供了突出的见解,可为 BLTY 及其家庭的干预发展提供参考。

期刊介绍: Annals of Behavioral Medicine aims to foster the exchange of knowledge derived from the disciplines involved in the field of behavioral medicine, and the integration of biological, psychosocial, and behavioral factors and principles as they relate to such areas as health promotion, disease prevention, risk factor modification, disease progression, adjustment and adaptation to physical disorders, and rehabilitation. To achieve these goals, much of the journal is devoted to the publication of original empirical articles including reports of randomized controlled trials, observational studies, or other basic and clinical investigations. Integrative reviews of the evidence for the application of behavioral interventions in health care will also be provided. .
