“…Within this cluster of research, push factors included psychosocial issues (Bauermeister et al, 2016; Bith‐Melander et al, 2010), navigating public institutions (Benson, 2019; Graham, 2014; Nicolazzo, 2016; Woods et al, 2013) objectification, violence, and harassment (Bazargan & Galvan, 2012; Bukowski et al, 2019; Cerezo et al, 2014; Hipp et al, 2019; Sevelius, 2012), traumatic life events (e.g., hate crimes, intimate partner violence, child sexual abuse) (Singh & McKleroy, 2011), as well as perceived stress, recent anxiety, depression, and suicide ideation (Crosby et al, 2016). Studies of psychosocial factors identified risk factors such as socioeconomic vulnerability (e.g., transactional sex) and gender‐related discrimination (including in medical and mental health settings) (Bauermeister et al, 2016; Bith‐Melander et al, 2010).…”

“…Both Latina and Black Transgender Women reported experiencing harassment and assault in the criminal justice system, as well as the minimisation of their victimisation when reporting crimes or assault they experienced in the community and when incarcerated (Graham, 2014; Woods et al, 2013). Native American transgender youth also face misgendering and were invisible within the juvenile justice system (Benson, 2019).…”

Transgender and gender non‐conforming people (TGNC), individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth, experience unique stressors, discrimination, and barriers to health and wellbeing. TGNC People of Colour (POC) navigate the nexus of racism, cisgenderism (and often homophobia) in their daily lives, resulting in uniquely intersecting forms of discrimination, and pronounced disparities in their health and well‐being. In order to examine the current state of knowledge about the health and wellbeing of TGNC POC, we conducted a systematic search and review of peer‐reviewed journal articles published between 1 January 2010 and 1 May 2020 that focused on this population. A systematic search identified (3,575) papers, with 76 of those meeting full inclusion criteria. In our review, we were able to identify physical health and psychological wellbeing (which included resilience), as core clusters of research focused on TGNC POC. We identified specific factors that hindered physical and psychological health (what we call “push” factors) as well as those that promoted it (what we call “pull” factors). Leveraging these findings, we offer ways forward for best practice in clinical work and carrying out research with this population.

“…Family law and family court practitioners often struggle to conceptualize chosen family members as anything more than friends of the parent(s), while godparents often have higher standing in issues like kinship placement in non‐queer families (e.g., Currie, personal communication, 2023; McCormick et al, 2017; Nadal, 2020). Transgender parents and children often struggle to be acknowledged by their gender and chosen name in court and in evaluations unless a legal or surgical transition has been registered; even then, attorneys and parenting plan evaluators struggle to use non‐binary pronouns to describe non‐binary parties (e.g., Benson, 2020; Gibbs, 2020; McGhee, 2021). These practices and others invalidate and harm LGBTQ+ people and families in the family court system.…”

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ+) individuals likely experience more intimate partner violence (IPV) than their cisgender, heterosexual counterparts. Though the research on IPV among LGBTQ+ individuals is lacking in quantity, available evidence suggests LGBTQ+ individuals have unique risk factors for IPV victimization and perpetration, express identity‐specific reasons for underreporting IPV, and experience types of IPV specific to their sexual orientation and/or gender identities. Bisexual and transgender individuals appear to be at significantly higher risk of IPV victimization compared to their peers. A search of the Family Court Review archives suggests that IPV affecting bisexual parents has never been directly addressed in the publication, nor has IPV affecting transgender or gender‐nonconforming parents, and the last article on the topic of IPV in gay and lesbian relationships (Bunker Rohrbaugh, 2006) was published more than 15 years ago when marriage and adoption rights were unavailable to most LGBTQ+ individuals. The current article provides an updated and comprehensive discussion of IPV within the broader LGBTQ+ community, reviews the limitations of the extant literature and the need for more research, and demonstrates that LGBTQ+ IPV is a complex issue with which all family court practitioners should be familiar.

“…Global contexts include a wide variety of different understandings and approaches to gender and gender roles. For example, some cultures and contexts already include concepts for diverse and nonbinary genders, the existence of which are often erased or changed through colonialism (Benson, 2020;Chatterjee, 2018). The second largest audience for SE is India, as noted above.…”

Understanding how and why online professional knowledge sharing communities develop issues with gender inclusion is essential to building safe and respectful environments. Trans and nonbinary gender identities are under constant threat and scrutiny, and trans people frequently face harms in online environments. Through digital ethnography, I explore how an international online programming community, Stack Exchange, responded to the challenges of implementing trans and nonbinary inclusive language policies. I discuss the rhetorical strategies and silencing tactics deployed by the community in response to policy changes. The analysis draws on Dotson’s concept of testimonial smothering to argue that epistemic violence prevents dialogue about the importance of respecting preferred pronouns. The paper concludes with reflections on the implementation of pronoun policies in international communities.
