ABSTRACT

We sought to explore the type and function of support networks of transmasculine and nonbinary young adults (TNBYA) during their chosen name transition. We conducted 12 in-depth, semi-structured qualitative interviews (2018) to understand who was providing support and how that support was given among Midwestern United States TNBYA who had transitioned from a name given to them at birth to a chosen name. Four support networks were identified: 1) families of origin; 2) chosen family; 3) mental health professionals; and 4) LGBTQ+ community groups. Chosen family and mental health professionals provided the most reliable and consistent support. Families of origin were supportive in some ways but often required intense emotional labour from the TNBYA. Community groups were equally supportive but fraught with obstacles, such as access and lacking racial diversity and sensitivity. The four support networks identified were all described as important to the TNBYA chosen name transitioning process, but they also at times created other obstacles. Clinicians can use this research to help TNBYA identify the support networks that help affirm their identity transition. Future direction for researchers to better understand the complicated functioning of support networks for TNBYA are also provided.

在选择名称转换期间支持跨男性和非二元年轻人网络

摘要

我们试图探索跨男性和非二元青年 (TNBYA) 在他们选择的名称转换期间的支持网络的类型和功能。我们进行了 12 次深入、半结构化的定性访谈(2018 年),以了解谁在提供支持以及如何在美国中西部的 TNBYA 中提供这种支持,他们已经从出生时给他们的名字转变为选定的名字。确定了四个支持网络:1)原籍家庭;2) 选择的家庭;3) 精神卫生专业人员;4) LGBTQ+ 社区团体。选定的家庭和心理健康专业人员提供了最可靠和一致的支持。原籍家庭在某些方面给予支持,但往往需要来自 TNBYA 的强烈情感劳动。社区团体同样支持但充满障碍,例如访问和缺乏种族多样性和敏感性。确定的四个支持网络都被描述为对 TNBYA 选择名称转换过程很重要,但它们有时也会造成其他障碍。临床医生可以利用这项研究来帮助 TNBYA 确定有助于确认其身份转变的支持网络。还为研究人员更好地了解 TNBYA 支持网络的复杂功能提供了未来方向。
