The Cuyahoga Youth Count: A Report on LGBTQ+ Youth Experience in Foster Care.
|
|
Matarese, M., Greeno, E., Weeks, A., Hammond, P. |
The findings in this study include the overrepresentation of youth with diverse SOGI in foster care in a Midwest county, disparities in their treatment experiences and increased mental health hospitalizations, as well as more youth with diverse SOGI reporting use of substances and experiencing discrimination and adverse experiences. These findings are symptomatic of the need for increased SOGIE-tailored prevention services for families, clinical interventions to support family reunification and family accepting and affirming behaviors, and policy and practice shifts both within the child welfare system as well as partnering with the child/youth-serving provider organizations and systems. |

The DSM-5 and the Politics of Diagnosing Transpeople
|
|
Zowie Davy |
In the DSM-5, there has been a change in the diagnosis for transpeople of all ages from Gender Identity Disorder (GID) to Gender Dysphoria (GD), in part to better indicate the distress that transpeople may experience when their gender identity feels incongruent. The aims of this article are, firstly, to question whether changing the diagnosis lessens the stigmatization of transpeople. I will suggest that the semantic change from GID to GD marks ‘‘inverted’’ gendered expressions as pathological and, thus, continues to stigmatize transpeople. Secondly, the article explores the development of the GD diagnosis, and illustrates how the scientific data this were founded on are contentious. The article then demonstrates how the trans anti-pathologization movement has challenged the perceived pathologizing effects of the DSM-5 classification of GD. The article examines a selection of Western transgender community advocates’ websites, forums, and blogs. From these sources, the article then explores the different narratives of trans- people and political groups who offer details of their praxis, and evidences how the trans anti-pathologization advocates use the & ZowieDavy zdavy@lincoln.ac.uk
available science and human rights discourses to contest the role of psychiatry in the treatment of transpeople. |

The Health of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender People: Building a Foundation for Better Understanding
|
|
|
At a time when lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals--often referred to under the umbrella acronym LGBT--are becoming more visible in society and more socially acknowledged, clinicians and researchers are faced with incomplete information about their health status. While LGBT populations often are combined as a single entity for research and advocacy purposes, each is a distinct population group with its own specific health needs. Furthermore, the experiences of LGBT individuals are not uniform and are shaped by factors of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, geographical location, and age, any of which can have an effect on health-related concerns and needs. |

The Medical Implications of Banning Transgender Youth from Sports Participation
|
|
JAMA Pediatrics |
Regular physical activity is essential for the health and well-being of children, adolescents, and adults. The emotional, social, and physical benefits of exercise and sports participation are indisputable: physical activity during childhood and adolescence has lifelong positive impacts on both physical and mental health. Additionally, transgender and gender-diverse youth (TGD) are particularly vulnerable to mental and physical comorbidities that are mitigated by physical activity. Thus, the benefits of exercise may be particularly significant for TGD youth. The past year has seen widespread legislative efforts to exclude TGD youth from organized sports, even though organized sports represent one of the most important opportunities for youth to engage in regular physical activity. |
