Abstract
The Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) community experiences disproportionately high rates of mental health concerns, compared to cisgender individuals. Most research has focused on binary transgender (BT; e.g., trans women, trans men) individuals, and previous findings regarding differences between non-binary/genderqueer (NBGQ) and BT mental health concerns are mixed. The current study examined health disparities between BT and NBGQ college students. The role of intersectional identities and minority stressors (e.g., stress associated with minority status) in these differences are assessed. Moderation analyses were utilized to examine the extent to which gender and intersectional identities moderated the relationship between minority stressors and mental health and substance use outcomes. Significant findings were observed for several mental health and substance use outcomes, which highlighted the unique role of racial/ethnic identity, gender identity, and sex assigned at birth. The findings highlight the importance of delineating TGD subgroups when examining minority stress, mental health, and substance use. Findings will inform mental health care interventions and outreach efforts for the TGD community on college campuses.
