TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a transgender-affirming adaptation of a cognitive behavior therapy intervention (TA-CBT) for use with transgender individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, and/or suicidality.
Abstract: Transgender individuals report pervasive discrimination, microaggressions, and victimization across the life span, contributing to disparate rates of suicide, anxiety, and depression. Clinical interventions must be empirically supported and affirming, competently and sensitively attending to the effect of transphobic discrimination on the lives and experiences of transgender people. Transgender affirmative clinical practice acknowledges and counters the oppressive contexts in which transgender clients often experience health and mental health care. The primary aim of this article is to introduce a transgender-affirming adaptation of a cognitive behavior therapy intervention (TA-CBT) for use with transgender individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, and/or suicidality. Clinical considerations such as the historical context of transgender issues in mental health care, the minority stress framework, current mental health disparities, and resilience will be explored. Transgender-affirming practice applications focused on psychoeducation, modifying problematic thinking styles, enhancing social support, and preventing suicidality will be provided.

TL;DR: Reading the findings through the notions of 'space" and 'place," it is found that harmful experiences for trans users could arise as targeted or incidental affronts, as sourced from outsiders or insiders, and as directed against individuals or entire communities.
Abstract: Transgender individuals in the United States face significant threats to interpersonal safety; however, there has as yet been relatively little research in the HCI and CSCW communities to document transgender individuals' experiences of technology-mediated safety and harm. In this study, we interviewed 12 transgender and non-binary individuals to understand how they find, create, and navigate safe spaces using technology. Managing safety was a universal concern for our transgender participants, and they experienced complex manifestations of harm through technology. We found that harmful experiences for trans users could arise as targeted or incidental affronts, as sourced from outsiders or insiders, and as directed against individuals or entire communities.. Notably, some violations implicated technology design, while others tapped broader social dynamics. Reading our findings through the notions of 'space" and 'place," we unpack challenges and opportunities for building safer futures with transfolk, other vulnerable users, and their allies.

TL;DR: For example, the authors found that prior awareness and prior engagement with other transgender people were independently related to less fearfulness, less suicidality, and more comfort among male-to-different-gender or female-to different-gender participants.
Abstract: Research examining risk and resilience among transgender individuals suggests that connection to a transgender community may be protective. Utilizing archival survey data of 3,087 adult transgender participants collected in 2005–06, this study further evaluated how awareness and engagement with other transgender people influences risk and resilience during early gender identity development. As hypothesized, among male-to-female and female-to-male respondents, both prior awareness and prior engagement with other transgender people were independently related to less fearfulness, less suicidality, and more comfort. These relationships were not significant among male-to-different-gender or female-to-different-gender participants. Implications of these findings are discussed.

TL;DR: Transgender women on ART were less likely to report 90% adherence rates or higher and reported less confidence in their abilities to integrate treatment regimens into their daily lives and when transgender women were compared to other respondents, regardless of the current medication regimen, they reported significantly fewer positive interactions with their health care providers.
