Abstract

Gender and Sexual Minority (GSM) people, in particular trans and non-binary people, are often recognized as an oppressed and marginalized community, vulnerable to poor psychological and physical wellbeing—this especially being the case for young people (Rimes et al., 2019). Many of these negative outcomes, it would appear, are the result of the stigmatization which GSMs experience. Indeed, research suggests that GSM young people experience elevated rates of discrimination and victimization compared to heterosexual and cisgender people on account of their minoritized sexual and/or gender identities (Guasp, A. (2012). https://www.bl.uk/collection-items/school-report-the-experiences-of-young-gay-people-in-britains-schools; Ellis et al., 2016; METRO Youth Chances. (2016); see also Chapter 3).
