Abstract

ABSTRACT The sociopolitical context surrounding the 2016 United States presidential election and the subsequent entrenchment of a Trump presidential administration have engendered radical changes within the social, political, and cultural protections and ramifications for transgender communities. More compounded by the linkages across multiple dimensions of social identity, trans youth of color uniquely navigate communities, resources, and contexts resulting in the complexities of oppression and resilience. Considering developmental stages of youth in association with cultural implications and resources, families as individuals and groups operate as substantial forms of allyship and solidarity. Pervasive issues relating to harassment, discrimination, incivility, and violence have historically marred the lives of trans youth of color. This article (a) illustrates the multitude of issues facing trans youth of color resulting from the 2016 election; (b) integrates families with ally development; (c) explicates the utility of approaches grounded in intersectionality theory; (d) applies salient arguments to a case example; and (e) discusses implications for research, practice, and policy.

家庭是跨性别有色人种青年的变革盟友：将交叉性定位为压迫政治制度的边缘化分析

摘要围绕2016年美国总统大选的社会政治背景以及随后特朗普总统政府的巩固，在社会、政治和文化保护方面产生了根本性的变化，并对跨性别群体产生了影响。更为复杂的是，跨性别有色人种青年在社会身份的多个维度上的联系，独特地驾驭着社区、资源和环境，导致了压迫和韧性的复杂性。考虑到青年的发展阶段与文化影响和资源有关，家庭作为个人和群体是结盟和团结的重要形式。与骚扰、歧视、不文明和暴力有关的普遍问题在历史上破坏了有色人种跨性别青年的生活。本文（a）阐述了2016年大选后有色人种跨性别青年面临的众多问题；（b）将家庭与盟友发展结合起来；（c）阐述了基于交叉性理论的方法的效用；（d）将突出的论点应用于案例；以及（e）讨论对研究、实践和政策的影响。
