Anti-transgender policies and state legislative initiatives that focus on school bathroom use and hormone use have emerged in recent years. These policies are generally written by and voted on by cisgender people, and as such, it is crucial to understand influences on nonaffirming attitudes toward policies that can impact trans youth. The present study aimed to extend research on transphobic attitudes in general to attitudes toward policies that impact youth undergoing transition. Latent variable covariances and structural equation modeling were used to test the relations between transphobia, genderism, homophobia, need for closure, sexual orientation, social dominance orientation, attitudes toward sexual minorities, beliefs about gender roles, aggression, religious fundamentalism, and contact with sexual and gender minority individuals, as they are related to attitudes toward hormone use and bathroom use for trans youth. Analyses of data from a sample of 248 cisgender adults indicated that genderism and transphobia was associated with attitudes toward gender-affirming hormone use and bathroom use for trans youth; need for closure was associated with gender-affirming attitudes toward bathroom use, but was not associated with hormone use. Sexual orientation was linked to attitudes toward gender-affirming policies, such that nonheterosexual participants had more affirming attitudes toward trans youths' bathroom use, but not hormone use. Implications for future research, advocacy efforts to promote rights for trans youth, and clinical work with trans youth and/or parents/guardians of trans youth are discussed.

对青少年性别转变的政策态度。


近年来出现了关注学校卫生间使用和激素使用的反变性政策和州立法举措。这些政策通常是由顺性别者起草并投票的，因此，了解对可能影响跨性别青年的政策的非肯定态度的影响至关重要。本研究旨在将跨性别恐惧态度的研究扩展到对影响转型期青年的政策的态度。使用潜变量协方差和结构方程模型来测试跨性别恐惧症、性别歧视、同性恋恐惧症、封闭需要、性取向、社会主导取向、对性少数群体的态度、对性别角色的信念、攻击性、宗教原教旨主义和性接触之间的关系。和性别少数群体，因为它们与跨性别青少年对激素使用和厕所使用的态度有关。对 248 名顺性别成年人样本的数据分析表明，性别歧视和跨性别者恐惧症与跨性别青少年对使用性别肯定激素和使用卫生间的态度有关；封闭的需要与对使用卫生间的性别肯定态度有关，但与激素的使用无关。性取向与对性别肯定政策的态度有关，因此非异性恋参与者对跨性别青少年使用卫生间的态度更加肯定，但对激素的使用则不然。讨论了对未来研究、促进跨性别青少年权利的宣传工作以及跨性别青少年和/或跨性别青少年父母/监护人的临床工作的影响。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
