Transgender and nonbinary (TNB) people experience elevated rates of posttraumatic stress (PTS) due to transphobic violence, discrimination, microaggressions, and minority stress. Nonbinary people in particular experience unique chronic minority stressors (e.g., misgendering, interpersonal invalidation) because of the assumption that gender is inherently binary. Such examples of oppression against TNB people could contribute to complex PTS (c-PTS) symptoms, which arise due to exposure to chronic, cumulative, and interpersonal trauma. This study aimed to examine how misgendering and invalidation may be associated with PTS and c-PTS symptoms among nonbinary people and whether this association is moderated by pride and community connectedness. Cross-sectional data from 610 nonbinary people living in the United States and Canada were analyzed using hierarchical linear regressions. Misgendering and invalidation had significant positive associations with PTS and c-PTS symptoms. However, pride and community connectedness were not significant moderators of these associations. Findings from this study contribute to the conceptualizations of traumatic stress among nonbinary people and provide considerations for more affirming trauma-informed care.

非二元性别成年人的性别错误、无效、骄傲、社区联系和创伤之间的关联。


由于跨性别恐惧症暴力、歧视、微侵犯和少数族裔压力，跨性别和非二元性别 （TNB） 者的创伤后应激 （PTS） 发生率升高。非二元性别者尤其会经历独特的慢性少数群体压力源（例如，性别错误、人际无效），因为假设性别本质上是二元的。这种对 TNB 人群的压迫例子可能导致复杂的 PTS （c-PTS） 症状，这些症状是由于暴露于慢性、累积和人际创伤而引起的。本研究旨在检查性别错误和无效如何与非二元人群的 PTS 和 c-PTS 症状相关，以及这种关联是否受到自豪感和社区联系的调节。使用分层线性回归分析来自居住在美国和加拿大的 610 名非二元性别者的横断面数据。性别错误和无效与 PTS 和 c-PTS 症状呈显著正相关。然而，自豪感和社区联系并不是这些关联的重要调节因素。这项研究的结果有助于非二元性别者对创伤压力的概念化，并为更肯定的创伤知情护理提供了考虑。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 （c） 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
