| dc.description.abstract | Despite unprecedented societal and scientific interest in the needs of transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) children and youth, substantial inequities remain. Attention towards this topic tends to be concentrated on Euro-American and clinical populations, resulting in failures to consider large segments of the TGD population in Canada and globally. A multi-disciplinary, multimethod program of cross-cultural and community-focused research sheds light on TGD children and youth who are often overlooked in Canada and in Thailand. With a biopsychosocial framework in mind, a series of studies elucidate the interplay of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural factors in TGD people’s identity development as well as their psychological and brain health. Collectively, these studies point to a need for macro-level changes to address systemic barriers as well as future avenues for improving TGD children and youth’s well-being. | |
