Gender Minority Stress Is Associated With Past-Year Suicidal Ideation in a National Probability Sample of Transgender and Gender Diverse Adults.

ABSTRACT: Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) adults experience increased discrimination and victimization relative to cisgender adults, thus elevating their risk for suicidal ideation (SI). Social support and connection to the broader TGD community may mitigate the relationship between gender identity-based stressors (i.e., interpersonal minority stressors), psychological stress processes (i.e., intrapsychic minority stress processes), and TGD adults' risk for SI. The current study examined TGD adults' exposure to interpersonal minority stressors, intrapsychic minority stress processes, perceived social support, community connectedness, and risk for past-year SI. Data came from a U.S. national probability study of TGD adults (N = 274). Survey-weighted linear and log-Poisson regression model
