Abstract

ABSTRACT Transgender and gender non-binary (TGNB) adults face structural and interpersonal stigma from their families and society at large when living openly and seeking gender affirming healthcare. To better understand the significance of family and social contexts for shaping the lived experiences of TGNB adults, this phenomenological qualitative study aimed to describe TGNB transgender identity development and coming out processes inclusive of significant past and present experiences. TGNB participants (N = 17) completed a one-time semi-structured interview and member checking of analysis findings. Results identified two themes: 1) TGNB identity development and socially “testing the waters” in gender expression; and 2) coming out when “the world just refuses to make space.” Implications are made for advancing feminist systemic research and clinical practice with TGNB clients.

在“拒绝创造空间的世界:跨性别和非二元成人的发展和出来”中“试水”

跨性别和性别非二元(TGNB)成年人在公开生活和寻求性别肯定医疗保健时，面临着来自家庭和社会的结构和人际耻辱。为了更好地理解家庭和社会背景对塑造TGNB成人生活经历的重要性，本研究旨在描述TGNB跨性别认同的发展和走出来的过程，包括重要的过去和现在的经历。TGNB参与者(N = 17)完成了一次半结构化访谈和分析结果的成员检查。结果确定了两个主题:1)TGNB身份发展和性别表达的社会“试水”;2)在“世界拒绝创造空间”的时候出来。对推进女性主义系统研究和TGNB患者的临床实践具有重要意义。
