Abstract:
Trans and non-binary (TNB) people face mental health disparities, likely due to discrimination. This study aims to explore the types of discrimination that TNB people report and the corresponding coping strategies. A sample of 85 TNB adults between the ages of 18 and 46 years old completed two surveys a day for 30 days reporting discrimination, coping, and emotional state. The types of discriminatory events were grouped into four categories: rejection, active transphobia, microaggressions, and community-level transphobia. A total of 3240 discriminatory events were reported, with the most frequent types reported being misgendering and other microaggressions. Results from linear regressions found individuals who experienced rejection were less likely to use support-based coping strategies, while individuals who experienced multiple events were more likely to report marijuana use. These findings should encourage researchers and practitioners to pay attention to discrimination when intervening on mental health with people who identify as TNB.
