Abstract

This study investigates how transgender older adults manage and protect their mental health amid anti-trans stigma, discrimination, and legislation in the United States. Using semi-structured, individual interviews with 47 transgender older adults, two key strategies emerged: (1) defining transgender identities, bodies, and experiences as life-affirming; and (2) cultivating transgender-inclusive social support networks. Results from the study expand public health research by pinpointing the mental health management strategies that transgender older adults use to mitigate the negative impacts of anti-trans sociopolitical climates.

反跨性别立法中的老龄化：保障跨性别老年人心理健康的策略。

本研究探讨了在美国反跨性别的污名、歧视和立法中，跨性别老年人如何管理和保护自己的心理健康。通过对47名跨性别老年人进行半结构化的个人访谈，得出了两个关键策略：(1)将跨性别身份、身体和经历定义为生命肯定；(2)培育跨性别包容的社会支持网络。这项研究的结果扩大了公共卫生研究，明确了跨性别老年人用来减轻反跨性别社会政治气候负面影响的心理健康管理策略。[J] .公共卫生杂志，2015;115(10):1616-1620。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2025.308186)。
