Methods: The Healthy Minds Study (n = 8,308) provided data about three AHTOs: (1) babysitting a drunk…

While research has been conducted on the importance of creating safe environments where LGBTQ+ students feel seen and respected (Hermann-Wilmarth & Ryan, 2019), little research has been completed on these spaces' impact on LGBTQ+-headed families. Understanding the impact belonging has on a sense of mattering (Strayhorn, 2019), it is essential…

Two types of critical theories have increasingly been used to understand LGBTQ+ individuals and persons with disabilities: Queer and Crip theories. Queer Crip theory can be used to analyze elements (e.g., traits, behaviors, contexts, and skills) of the lives of gifted and talented LGBTQ+ youth who also have disabilities, as those elements have…

This paper argues that the epistemic is not separate from the material, and the depth and scope, of harm enacted against Trans people can be conceptualized as a Trans epistemicide. It makes clear that colonization, the psy disciplines, and education are imbricated systems wherein multiple forms of epistemic injustice and epistemological violence…

Considerable research documents that LGBTQ youth are more likely to experience mental health challenges than their heterosexual peers, including higher rates of depression and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. This first Science-to-Practice Brief summarizes a study on protective factors related to depression and suicidality among U.S. sexual and…

When considering how to approach the complexity of gender non-conforming identities beyond the binary, it is important to recognize that their existence is not new. With this in mind, I reflect on the potential of decolonization to challenge binary norms and embrace gender fluidity. In this reflective essay, I explore pre-colonial identities and…

Women and revolutions have always had a thorny relationship. Women's mere presence in the revolutionary public sphere and within protest culture has been the site of much controversy. More recently, from the Occupy Movement to the Women's Marches, from Black Lives Matter to Femen, women protests have turned to performative practices to bring to…

This article explores the issue of workplace visibility and signs and symbols of LGBTQ+ identity in a UK university. A poststructuralist Butlerian theoretical framework underpins this article. Sexual and gender identities are understood as multiple and fragmented, and constructed in relation to others and within the systems of power and knowledge…

One uniquely marginalizing school environment for sexual and gender diverse (SGD) youth is school based sex education (SBSE). While research has documented the negative sexual and mental health impacts these marginalizing environments can have for SGD youth, we know less about the developmental competencies that this population of youth exercises…

Purpose: Underrepresentation of transgender men and women, gender-expansive people, and cisgender women in autism research has created barriers to appropriate, timely identification and supports that can improve quality of life. To address this need, this study investigated themes in spoken narratives produced by autistic adults whose genders are…

The increasing scholarship on queer Latinx/a/o people in higher education research demands scholars to propound epistemologies and methodologies throughout the inquiry process that centers such communities. Methodologies, such as "feminista pláticas" disrupt epistemological boundaries to traditional ways of knowing and thus offer an…

The purpose of this study was to describe the post assault support needs of college students who identify as sexual and gender minority after a sexual assault.
