“Disability status and associations with family social support and identity disclosure among gender minority youth” has just been published in LGBTQ+ Family: An Interdisciplinary Journal!

To better understand the intersection of gender minority identity and disability status, the current study examined how disability relates to experiences of both general and SGM-specific family social support, gender identity disclosure to family, and stress related to gender/sexuality identity disclosure among gender minority youth. The study revealed that (1) GMY with disabilities reported receiving less SGMY-specific and general family support compared to GMY who did not report disabilities and (2) GMY who reported one or multiple disabilities reported greater sexual and gender identity outness.
