“…[ … ] this pronouncement did not shock [the PI and RA]; rather, with some relief, we were forced to confront our own complicity in creating an unsafe virtual environment via self-silencing in our collaborations with the digital media students who had the technical skills we lacked (Travers et al, 2019).…”

“…In consequence, the Research Team scrapped all but the opening storyline of the game and started over. We address the complex process of working with the MDM cohort to develop Prototype 1, the results of YAC testing, and a change in work process to develop Prototype 2 in a previous article (Travers et al, 2019). In this publication, we identify factors that interfered with our accountability to trans youth and corrective strategies to improve it.…”

In 2015 the Gender Vectors research team received a major research grant to conduct research with and about transgender youth in the Greater Vancouver Area. A unique aspect of this research project involved combining social action research with the development of a prototype of a video game as a knowledge translation tool to depict the life experiences of trans youth. We draw on transformative gender justice theory to document and address the diminished life chances of and the need to promote resilience among trans youth in the region and more broadly, across Canada and the United States. This article provides an overview of the research project and concludes by identifying key insights relating to resiliency that resulted from 15 narrative interviews with transgender youth, focus group meetings with the Project's Youth Advisory Council, and dialog from an intergenerational workshop for transgender youth and adult care/service providers and allies. These themes informed the creation of the prototype.
