    Entre la precarización de los derechos y la producción de subjetividad política en experiencias de jóvenes trans en México
    (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios de Género, 2022-07-01) Zamorano-Martínez, Lenin Adolfo; Ignacio, Lozano-Verduzco; Mendoza-Pérez, Juan Carlos; Eaton, Andrew, D.; Craig, Shelley, L.
    El objetivo de esta investigación cualitativa fue comprender cómo operan las diferentes prácticas y los discursos que atentan contra la dignidad e integridad de jóvenes trans. Se realizaron grupos focales y entrevistas semiestructuradas a 23 jóvenes trans entre 16 y 29 años en México. A través de un análisis de contenido, se identificaron las prácticas y discursos desde los cuales se atentó contra sus derechos en diferentes dimensiones (identitaria, laboral, educativa, de salud, espacial). Además, se identificaron los actos y recursos que ejercieron para hacer frente a las diversas formas de vulneración, tales como las emociones, las tecnologías de información y comunicación, y el arte. Concluimos que las relaciones de desigualdad social se traducen en precarización de los derechos humanos y, al mismo tiempo, en la base que contribuye a resistir la precarización de los derechos y a la construcción de una subjetividad política trans.

    Examining the Role of Peer and Family Belongingness in the Mental Health of Black LGBTQ + Youth
    (Taylor & Francis, 0023-09-27) Watts, Keith, J.; Wagaman, M. Alex; Eaton, Andrew, D.; Leung, Vivian, W. Y.; Craig, Shelley, L.
    A sense of belonging to familial and peer networks is crucial for the mental health of LGBTQ+ youth. Black LGBTQ+ youth report feeling rejected and isolated due to their sexual and/or gender identities. Utilizing linear regression analyses, this study explored the relationship between peer and family belongingness and levels of depression, anxiety, and self-rated mental health among 181 Black LGBTQ+ youth in the United States and Canada . Findings suggest that family and peer belongingness are important factors in Black LGBTQ+ youth's mental health and warrant further study into the protective nature of peer and family relationships for this population.

    Experiences of COVID‐19 pandemic‐related stress among sexual and gender minority emerging adult migrants in the United States
    (Wiley, 2022-09-01) Alessi, Edward, J.; Cheung, Shannon, J.; Sarna, Vincent; Dentato, Michael, P.; Eaton, Andrew, D.; Craig, Shelley, L.
    There is a dearth of research that examines COVID-19-related stress among multiply marginalised individuals who are in the developmental phase of emerging adulthood. This qualitative study investigated how the intersection of emerging adulthood, sexual and gender minority (SGM) identity, and migrant status were reflected in the experiences of SGM individuals (n = 37; ages 20–25 years old) who migrated to various parts of the United States in the last 5 years. Data were collected online using semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis revealed that participants' developmental processes (e.g., identity exploration, building financial independence) were shaped by pandemic-related stressors, especially unemployment and financial instability. Participants who were able to maintain employment did so but at the risk of their health and safety. Findings also showed that participants experienced feelings of anxiety and depression due to social isolation, but online communication played an important role in combatting loneliness. Findings highlight the potential for trauma-informed and intersectional approaches to practice with SGM emerging adult migrants and expanded health services and temporary entitlement programs to mitigate the pandemic's effects on this population's psychosocial and financial well-being.

    Processes and Manifestations of Digital Resilience: Video and Textual Insights From Sexual and Gender Minority Youth
    (SAGE Publications, 2023) Craig, Shelley, L.; Brooks, Ashley, S.; Doll, Katrin; Eaton, Andrew, D.; McInroy, Lauren, B.; Hui, Jenny
    Minority stressors harm sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY). This may be mitigated by promotive and protective factors and processes that manifest resilient coping. SGMY increasingly interact with information communication technologies (ICTs) to meet psychological needs, yet research often problematizes youths’ ICT use, inhibiting understanding about ICTs’ potential resilience-enhancing utilities. This study analyzes text and video responses of 609 SGMY aged 14 to 29 residing in Canada or the United States to an open-ended survey question about the benefits of using ICTs. Constructivist grounded theory integrating multimodal coding was used to analyze the data, producing a framework of digital resilience—digital processes and actions that generate positive growth—with four themes: Regulating Emotions and Curating Microsystems; Learning and Integrating; Advocating and Leading; and Cultivating Relationships and Communities of Care. Implications for clinical practice, survey innovation, and application of findings in fostering affirming digital microsystems for SGMY are discussed.
